Citroen Sport: 2 crews at Cork rally!
Citroën Sport has decided to enter two cars for the Cork 20 International Rally (September 28-30) with a view to honing its preparations for the final phase of the 2007 WRC season.
The inaugural Rally Ireland, the fifteenth and penultimate round of this year's World Rally Championship, is scheduled to take place on November 15-18 and its inclusion for the first time in the WRC calendar has prompted a long list of questions regarding the profile of the atypical stages competitors can expect to find. Sébastien Loeb, Daniel Elena, the C4 WRC and Citroën Sport were able to gain an initial idea of the country's roads thanks to their participation on last June's Donegal Rally. Victory on that event enabled the team to glean a great deal of valuable information.
"To build up an even bigger picture of the Irish stages," explains Guy Fréquelin, "Citroën Sport has decided to enter two cars for the Cork Rally. Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena will be able to gain extra experience of these highly specific roads at the wheel of a C4 WRC, while Dani Sordo and Marc Marti will get their first taste of competition in the country with a
Xsara WRC, since Citroën Sport has no other C4s available for the weekend in question."http://www.ALMrally.ru All about rally in Russian

It would be funny if the Xsara beat the C4 here, not that I think it will happen anyway.
Good news for Cork.There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

We don't want this year to end in Ireland, it's just being an absolute classic. Roll on Cork and then Rally Ireland.

Is it true that both Ford's will be there too, or only Hirvonen?
Seems Citroën does everything for their title hopes this year.

who can they boot? Canary will replace Poland, Estonia for Latvia, Croatia stays, I think only Chile needs to sign for next year. Unless with all the monkey business in Kenya after this year will see...
