Martin Prokop was today given his first run at the wheel of a Citroën Xsara WRC on a gravel road near Chablis, close to Auxerre in the Burgundy region of France. The test session was organised by Citroën Sport as a reward for the results obtained by the Czech driver within the framework of this year's C2 Junior Experience.
The Jipocar driver finished third in the 2007 FIA Junior Rally Championship, notching up two wins (Germany, Corsica) and one second place (Spain) with his Citroën C2 Super 1600. His prize, as specified in the regulations of the C2 Junior Experience, was a test drive in Citroën WRC car.
For Martin Prokop, the experience was an early Christmas. Despite temperatures that dipped to near freezing point (4°C), the 25-year old had no hesitation when it came to sampling the car that has secured three world titles in rallying's premier series: "I immediately felt at ease. In fact, the cockpit is laid out in a strikingly similar way to my Citroën C2 Super 1600, so I didn't need much time to familiarise myself with everything! The Xsara WRC might seem impressive from the outside but once inside I found it to be extremely comfortable and very quick, too, thanks to its good suspension set-up. It was tremendous fun and I don't think I'm likely ever to forget
this day!"
After the hundred or so kilometres covered by Martin Prokop in the course of the session, Citroën Sport's Customer Competition Manager Yves Matton was very pleased with the way the day had unfolded: "In addition to showing genuine professionalism, Martin didn't seem to have any trouble adapting to the Citroën Xsara WRC. We were delighted with the way he approached the car. I wish him every luck for next season. If he succeeds in finishing first or second in next year's FIA Junior Championship with his Citroën C2 Super 1600, it's not just a test drive he will win but the chance to contest one or two events with a Citroën WRC car, as stipulated in the C2 Junior Experience regulations…"

Interesting. Maybe he can achieve what is needed next year to get the big reward. I didn't know anything about this "C2 Junior Experience" but it's clearly a good thing.

Nice livery BTW. The livery (black, red and white) is similar to the one of the new C2 R2 Max presented a few weeks ago:

Like it.

Does the report say much VFTS?

Not much, thay are amazed with the power and handling in the new car (06)compared to the old one (05) and call it "extreme". Mikkelsen also believes he will have to change his drivingstyle some in order to be competitive. They have driven the car for a 100 ks, and hope to be driving it for a further 500ks at full speed during the remaining two days of the test. The test are carried out close to RGB SS3

Thanks guys for the pictures from the tests in France and Sweden and for these amazing videos.

From now on, I will call Seb "Loebinen" (as Kovalainen did)!!

Loeb continues his grunge-look...
Nice to see that Rådström still has some position in Citroen.
I would think Loeb and the team thinks it is nice with a little change; now testing on snow instead of all the tar and gravel, even though thay are probably quite fed up with rallying at the moment.
