Touquet: Snobeck hopes for rain

Favorite of Rally du Touquet, first round of the French championship which will take place this weekend, Dany Snobeck prefers to play it safe. Because even if he has Sébastien's old official machine Loeb, the 2009 French champion shows a lack of experience with the car. “ It was neither the Var 2010 (abandonment after an exit in SS3), nor the very short winter tests which allowed me to drive a lot with the Citroën C4 WRC? Above all, I am very happy to wear the Total colors for the first time. For the rest, my goal will be to finish on the podium. I know that Eric Brunson likes to rally and that a few other drivers will also be in the mix. I would really like it to rain but the weather doesn't seem to be going my way? » His designated challenger prefers to put things into perspective. “ We won this rally three years ago and finished second in 2009. For us it will be a question of regaining our marks in the French Championship and, with our new, more efficient Impreza, of doing as well as in 2008. The gallop test carried out at the Côte Fleurie rally gave us confidence », Confided Eric Brunson.
