Stéphane Lefebvre towards rallycross debut in Lavaré

Chosen by Citroën Racing to carry out the global racing debut of the C3 R5, Stéphane Lefebvre should take a break in his calendar by rally making his debut in rallycross, during the French championship event in Lavaré (Sarthe).

The Frenchman should evolve on a Citroen DS3 operated by Team Knapick, even if his participation remains to be confirmed according to the championship press release. Lefebvre had carried out a test session a few days ago at Lessay.

“I have never driven a car this powerful, Lefebvre then admitted. I would say that we are getting a little closer to the C4 WRC torque level and the C3 WRC power level, even if there is even more under the hood! Chassis level on the other hand, we are far from what we can experience on new generation cars like the C3 R5.

I really enjoyed myself all day, it was really nice! In terms of sensations and driving, it's still super pleasant. Afterwards, yesterday, I was alone on the track but I know peloton races after having cut my teeth in Karting younger. »

Note that the championship leader, Guerlain Chicherit (Renault Clio) will not be part of Lavaré.
