Citroen-C4-WRC-cars

Citroen announced that they will enter the 76th Monte Carlo rally with two 2008 Citroen C4 WRC’s driven by Sebastien Loeb/Daniel Elena, and Dani Sordo/Marc Marti. The two 2008 Citroen C4 WRC’s will start in the 76th Monte Carlo rally on January 24.

Citroen ready for the ‘off’ on the road to Monte Carlo

A year after making its competition debut with a resounding one-two finish on the 2007 Monte Carlo Rally, the Citroen C4 WRC is poised to tackle the World Rally Championship’s longest-standing event for the second time. For the first round of the 2008 season, Citroen Sport has entered two cars for four-time World Champions Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena and their Spanish team-mates Dani Sordo/Marc Martí.

In the course of its long history, the Monte Carlo Rally has emerged as the world’s most famous rally. Last year’s event saw the return of legendary stages like Saint Jean en Royans, Burzet and Saint Bonnet le Froid, and this year’s menu features the comeback of yet another classic: the Col du Turini. Should snow make an appearance, the setting will be ideal!

“I’m obviously dreaming of a white Monte Carlo, with real wintry conditions,” says Sébastien Loeb. “The route focuses on three different regions, so the stages will be very varied. Thursday evening’s tests are wide, fast and smooth. Those in the Ardèche are more technical, narrower and occasionally bumpy. Last year, the conditions were particularly dry but it should be fun if we get snow and ice this time round! I am delighted to see that the Col du Turini and some other classic stages in the southeast corner of France are back. That said, the challenge of having to contest the final day’s four stages with the same tires could well turn out to be quite delicate.”
