I don't remember any rally champ coming back at later time, and being equally fast as in his best years.
Even 5th or 6th looks to high to me.
I guess Citroen just need somebody who can find out what's wrong with that car.

But do you remember any one of them taking 9 WDC titles?

For sure he's trying to leave his mark in history as much as he can. It will be interesting if he returns, that's for sure, but I'm a bit sceptical.

is it just me, or does this look slow.. very hesitant and wide slow corner exits, in many places.

It's just you, it doesn't look excessively slow (we are not talking Ogier Toyota vid), latest experience (Hyundai Finland, C3 before season), clearly shows that judging speed by over-analyzing test vids is not a good idea.

What's more interesting is that it IMO looks more like development test aimed prbly at dif.maps more than a test for Deutschland.
Certainly compared to Breen's test as well as all the recent Hyundai tests. Would be consistent with the announced aim of testing for development and not for specific rally setup. That said it can be biased by where the guy taking the vid choose to film.

Nahh.. looks slow.
You said its me, then you said it could be positioning of camera.
Make up your mind.

The impression that it's a dif. map development test could be due to camera position (most of the time at the hairpin and other tight corners in the forest).

Its a pre-event setup test.
Not a development test.

Matton just announced that they're focusing on developing the car for 2018, not to set up the car for certain events

you cant separate these 2 (development for 2018 and car setup for the current rally)
