[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

Maybe it's more about getting feedback on how C3 compares with Polo and I20.

And even for that need more test days.

Citroen didn't test anywhere before Sardegna? strange

Didn't they test in Sardegna before Portugal?

That's certainly put all the current Citroen drivers on notice. I'm sure we'll see more of him.

With one day of testing I don't think he will be top 3 fast, don't think Citroen has very high hopes either.

Well yeah, Andreas is one of the few who has tried three different WRC2017 cars (Ogier has also tried Polo, Yaris and Fiesta).

I think they want to see where the car is at, is it not competitive or is the problem with the drivers, probably they want to secure at least one good position in Sardinia not to get too behind in the championship score table and get some more setup feedback for the permanent drivers. And it will be a good motivation for Meeke, to finish better than Mikkelsen.

I'm sure we'll see more of him.

I sure hope so.

They are, but no test before Poland in few weeks? Just straight to Sardegna after Portugal?

Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team has changed its line-up for Rally Italia Sardegna (8-11 June), with the arrival of Andreas Mikkelsen/Anders Jaeger in the no.9 Citroën C3 WRC.

. It's long overdue he might even beat the factory boy's in that one off Rally Sardegna.

I sure hope so.

Also, I think the objective for him and Breen will be to score points, and so Meeke will have less pressure to bring a good result, so hopefully he can get his act together this way as well and challenge for top places.

I believe Mikkelsen's target should be Breen.If Craig can continue his 5th place run, the Norwegian should be able to better him.

[amilk]

Good news, Mikkelsen deserve this place. In the same time Matton lost his face now reading back his communication before season start about Latvala and Mikkelsen.

So Citroen blinked first...

No surprise given they are last in the Manufacturers championship.

I still doubt Mikkelsen will be instantly fast with being out of 2017 cars and only really used to the Polo.
