Citroen WRT

[Coach 2]

Mads left for France to meet the Citroen team today, and the plan is to get first test tomorrow, Mads told a Norwegian newspaper during Rally Finnskog yesterday.

Not sure where he will test tomorrow, but probably at a Citroen Test venue.

He need to find some snow and ice asap! How much is he allowed to test before sweden? Are there limitations?
If this becomes more than a one off, he needs to get a C3 R5 to get familiar with size and form, and get Citroen km.

Think he will test on gravel in France, just to get used to the car.
There will be a test in Sweden on Saturday, I think.

Well, outside of a certain circle of distance (I forget how far) to the team's main base there is a limitation of test days (which I forget the number of as well).

50 km

Seems that Mads is having Adapta and OneBet backing for his Citroen deal

Snow at Citroen Racing HQ is convenient. Any test roads nearby ?

Probably the road won't have an icy surface underneath the snow, so it will be very different to Rally Sweden

But it will be slippery, and thats the Citröen worst surface and good for Mads to understand what they have to do before sweden test.

Mads twitter:
"Seems like Rally Sweden preparations are everywhere! It will be snowy conditions at Citroen Racing shakedown today."

"I will have 1 full day of proper testing with the team before Sweden this weekend'

Will be one day of testing enough for Mads to learn the car to be fast on rally?

Meeke and Breen only getting 1 and a half days is probably not enough for them either, judging by the difficulties they had last year. Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have a Citroen in the top 6/7 here.

Besse told*Motorsport News: “We improved the gravel car, so we should have a car that’s better on snow. But [this week] we need to find the good set-up for this car which is completely different from last year’s car on snow.”

Asked if he was confident four days testing would be enough to dial the C3 WRC in, Besse replied: “I’m sure it will not be enough, but it’s always a compromise if you put every thought on one rally it’s not a good thing.

“We have to be reasonable, it’s one rally on this surface, so we give four days and then we work more on gravel. But we hope we will be able to do our best in these four days, we need to be efficient and do a better job than last year.”
