Not a big fan of the livery, i personaly don't like the big R on the side, I would have expected something a bit more adventurous!
By the way, i thought JML chose no7 at the highly engineered VW number choosing system of coin toss?

I think his car is not ready yet. Looks like they're sharing Ogier's car for the test.

they test with same car.

The car was launched with the #7. This car has the number #8. So I'm guessing Ogier will be #7 and JML #8. That means Citroen will be #1 (Loeb), #2 (Hirvonen) and #3 (Sordo), and M-Sport #4 (Ostberg), #5 (TBA) and #6 (al'Attiyah).

Or Tänak #6?

I put al'Attiyah as #6 because - as far as I know - he's not doing a full season, and the #5 seat is a ull-time drive.

I read somewhere that the VW boys flipped a coin and JML won, so he choose 7 and Ogier got 8.

Yes and Ogier told Latvala that he will be the first to carry number 1 on the car, earned on results :-)
