Mads Ostberg trains before the Tour de Corsica

Mads Ostberg took advantage of the cancellation of the Rally of China to participate on Friday September 9 and Saturday September 10 in the Rallye Niedersachsen, an asphalt event counting for the German Rally Championship, in order to prepare for the Tour de Corse scheduled from September 30 to October 2.

The pilot M-Sport, who only took sixth place at the German Rally last August, wants to practice on a surface where he has difficulty.

“With the cancellation of the Rally of China, I have a little break in my program in WRC and I will use it to prepare for the next asphalt events, explained the Norwegian, quoted by WRC.com. I don't know this rally (of Niedersachsen), but it's a good challenge to take on. We must do our best to be more competitive in Corsica. »

“The set-up of the car works well, we need to pay more attention to the details, especially the differential settings. This is what we have worked on the most in Germany. We found little things, but in the end it didn't work.", specified the Scandinavian.
