[stefanvv]

what I would like to know ( maybe I lost new rules about testing)is...For official drivers will be a certain-limited amount of test days?

Yes, days are limited. Factory teams have more though than support/private teams.

[rage82]

42 days for manufactures and 1 0 days for teams

[manthey]

thanks for the answers stefanvv & rage82

so Loeb, as spot race driver, could test how much he wants? it will not be counted as manufacturer's days?

[stefanvv]

Excuse me from where I'm sitting Belgians are foreigners!! Is JS a Belgian citizen or a Greek with residency. Doesn't impact on his ability to drive, just curious!

Jourdan Serderidis is from Greek origin I think, but he lives in Belgium for a very long time, studied here and owns a company (ARHS, software development). He speaks fluent French, and his first rallies were in Belgium and Luxembourg. If he didn't have a Greek flag on his car, nobody would know he's not originally from Belgium. Of course he's obviously driving just for fun and doesn't have the abilities that top drivers have. But it's always good to have these people, because they don't only drive for fun, they also invest and give opportunities that many people wouldn't have otherwise. For example he's supporting Cédric Cherain, who's driving with J-Motorsport and will do the complete Belgian championship next year with DS3 R5 (supported by Citroën Belux and Citroën Racing). J-Motorsport is the team of Jourdan, that is run by well-known and experienced codriver Fred Miclotte.

I see he's with Fred Miclotte for WRGB, presumably he grabs whichever local co-driver is free, last year he was with Erwin Mombaerts for WRGB and Morgane Rose for the 2014 Monte (why he'd want anyone else is beyond me unless his wife made an 'executive' decision! )

No, he chose Erwin and Morgane, because Fred was busy these days.
