FEATURE: Citroen’s drivers talk C3 upgrades, and the Otago Rally in NZ

No doubt the car has make significant progress with a complete chassis upgrade now installed. But to be realistic, Ogier and Neuville are not, on pure pace, 2/3 mins slower than Tanak. Therefore I think the road position flattered Otsberg slightly on Day 1, but when on a equal footing with Tanak on road position on Saturday, he was put to bed. He is not a rally winner. I think Citroen are more concerned with showcasing the turnaround with their car, than they are about anything else, to try and tempt Ogier back.
kinda off-topic question but do Citroen and Hyundai also test close to their base? we know that m-sport has its own track/road close to the base and Toyota can test in finland close to Puuppola.
In 2016 when Meeke won in Finland he had road position advantage for all 3 days (championship running order for both Friday and Saturday (8th on the road out of 9 WRCs) and then reverse positions for Sunday, so last as he was leading.).
When I pointed it out previously the diehard-fan claimed it had close to nothing to say. Now it suddenly matters for Østberg ;)
In Finland the ruts were huge on the second run of stages so the later cars were also disadvantaged at times...
