I think Citroen has a private track for testing?Quote:

Yes, I'm sure it's not hard.Quote:

Malcolm wouldn't let his driver test another car as long as the contract is on. It would have to be in secured secrecy or wait until January 1st.Quote:

Other thing is, if Wilson allowed it to happen (because he isn`t able to offer him what he demands) and maybe even gets some money from Citroen.
There are plenty of private testing facilities in France, where people won't get in if they don't want to let anyone in. Michelin is carrying out rally-tests every week, it's quite rare to see some footage from it. At least for gravel it should be very easy to do. Tarmac could be a bit more complicated, but I think also not impossible.
Before gearing up on the tub he will occupy in 2019: "I can not yet announce something about next year, it's getting closer ... What matters to me is to be competitive. We've made progress at M-Sport, but I'm still a little disappointed with Ford's involvement, we're still a private team, it's hard to fight with big powers in the long run. Ford's camp right now, I'm also having discussions with Citroen, they seem to have potential, and it's in the ability and motivation to keep moving forward that you have to watch. "

Then again, would Ogier sign a contract that would prevent him from sampling what other teams have to offer? With his experience, he is expected to know that when contract is expiring that's exactly what he'd want to do. I am pretty sure that driver of his caliber both knows this and would have it in the contract.Quote:

it's #2 at Toyota or #2 at Citroen... Ogier will be signedQuote:
