Kovalainen is no stranger to WRC, he has been a co-driver in Arctic Rally twice in a WRC Focus. The second time he actually drove a couple of stages and made an impressive time on the last stage of the rally. He has also said that he would very much like to drive that rally one day.Quote:

Anyway, a rally car is indeed no stranger for Heiki. So I hope Citroen will give him a propper test, so he can compare his times with Sebastien.
True but the rest of the drivers was not trying anymore, sofar no rallydriver has not showed anything special in a F1 and same thing the other way around, My guess is that Loeb will do like the others before him.Quote:

Although both drivers were good at tarmac in their time, Loeb is the real master of tarmas. So I rate Loeb higher and beter qualified to represent the rally scene in the F1 scene.

I read somewere that the test will take 3 days? Can someone from the French members confirm or deny it?
Only 1 day (5 december) on Paul Ricard track
It will be fun event for all of the motorsports fans. Just like everybody else, I'm curious about Loeb's lap time and how Kovalinen handles a rally car although I preferably wanted Raikkonen in a rally car than Kovalinen.
Maybe if Gronholm becomes world championship, the two Finnisch championships can swap cars. Jean Todt, the boss of Ferrari sport would appreciate it as a former navigator.
Loeb will surprise us with his times in the F1 car !!!
