Citroën Racing returns to snow in Monte-Carlo testing

The surroundings of Orcières resonated with the vocalizations of the engine of the Citroën C3 WRC the last days. The French team, which continued its preparation for the next Rally Monte Carlo (January 24-27), first round of the 2019 World Rally Championship, was able to alternate the conditions, going from snow to asphalt, and benefit from optimal conditions.

Sébastien Ogier and Esapekka Lappi, both starting for the coming season, were therefore able to refine the settings of their new mount on the different types of terrain that could be encountered during the Monaco classic in a little over a week.
