WTCC – Bennani already at ease with the Citroën C-Elysée

Mehdi Bennani did not take long to acclimatize to his new mount since the new recruit of Sébastien Loeb Racing achieved the second fastest time of the WTCC testing carried out last week in Barcelona (Spain), just behind the director of the team of the same name who directly defends the interests of Citroën.

“The team's first tests were successful. Everything went well, both for Mehdi who is satisfied and for the engineers and mechanics who did a very good job. confirmed Sébastien Loeb. “He also completed a long relay at the end of the day which was very interesting. So from the team boss's point of view, I'm happy. »

The former Proteam Racing resident who raced last year in a Honda Civic WTCC is aware that he will certainly have the best car in the field and that he will be able to shine from the start of the season at Terma de Rio Hondo ( Argentina) on March 7 and 8. The Moroccan continued his tests with a new day held in Monteblanco (Spain). “I was able to gather as much information as possible. I had many things to learn, but I feel good in the Citroën. I enjoy it and I have a different feeling, which I appreciate in any case”, commented Mehdi Bennani.
