    NO. New one. It looks Bertelli one cause it is grey (body kit is allways like that without decals). It should be chassis 12.

    Ogier interview:
    https://as.com/motor/2019/10/19/mas_...mpression=true

    Do you think the Toyota is above ?

    - Everyone knows that Toyota are in another category. Unfortunately that is so, but I think that now, although they are still ahead, it is a little less than before. We have to continue working, and in fact we have things for the future, with a new aerodynamics, but unfortunately we will not be able to use it until next year because the federation does not allow it.

    Next year will be his last season. How do you see the changes in the calendar?

    - I am 100% sure that it will be my last year

    strange how quickly he has forgotten that the VW he drove, was not in another category but from another planet back in the day.

    From his comments on the future and the new aero, it seems that although in the recent tests the C3's understeer was fixed...
    but he states the aero cant be used until 2020 ?


    A source told Autosport: "That's a lot of work all around the car.

    "It's going to be interesting to see how much of that comes, but if they're not using it then you would ask the question of why Ogier would be driving the car with it on - especially at such a crucial time of the season."

    During the Rally Spain test the C3 WRC showed off a complete aerodynamic makeover, with a new splitter and additional wings above the front wheels, remiscent of the vanes seen on Formula 1 sidepods.

    Citroen's technical director Olivier Maroselli wouldn't be drawn on the aero updates and which of them would be seen in time for next week's event.

    For me it's also strange that Citroen would use so much time on testing the new aero just before one of the two rallies where it matters most (together with Finland) and then not run anything. But stranger things have happened before.

    yes, i know this Eddie, i was watching WRC then ...and those years are the most impressive ones for me because the cars are quite equal now, and he still showed that he is the best.

    But those 4 years with VW, there was just no competition for them, especially 2014 and 2015, thats what i call dominating.

    But thats past, thats it from me about this topic.

    Because Citroen and Ogier have half an eye on next year now, his final year in the WRC. They know this championship is very nearly over, its sensible to test this aero package as much as possible when they can, as we saw how Ogier/Msport struggled with the rear aero developments last year. Citroen HAVE to get it right for Seb.

    So does anyone really know are Citroen even allowed to use it 2019?
    Or have they used all their "Jokers"for 2019?
