Kimi Räikkönen discovers the C4 WRC

This test run allowed the Finn to familiarize himself with the car he will drive during the 2010 World Rally Championship.

A few weeks before the start of the World Rally Championship, which will take place in Sweden on February 12, Kimi Räikkönen's preparation has begun. The World Champion of F1 2007 was in Versailles this Tuesday to visit the Citroën Racing facilities.

The Finn was able to get behind the wheel of a Citroën C4 WRC on a dirt test track located at the Satory camp. Covering around fifty kilometres, the Citroën Junior Team driver became familiar with his new vehicle: “I really enjoyed this first concrete contact with the team. I was able to try several things on the car, it was interesting to see how it reacted to changing the different settings. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of the C4! »

For Kimi Räikkönen, the next deadline is January 28. As preparation for Rally from Sweden, the Finn will participate in the Arctic Lapland Rally in a Citroën C4 WRC.
