Citroën Racing clients, Petter Solberg and Kimi Raïkkönen, also racked up the maximum number of kilometers with a few hours to go to the start.
“I already feel at home behind the wheel of the Citroën DS3 WRC,” smiled Norwegian Solberg this morning. “I’m ready to get the season off to a flying start, and I’m going to be fighting for the podium here in Sweden. The DS3 WRC is an easy car to drive and I can’t wait to be under starter’s orders!”
Parked a few metres away, Raïkkönen added: “I really like how the Citroën DS3 WRC handles. It’s more compact and easier to turn, I’m having fun behind the wheel. The conditions are different to our tests on ice. During the shakedown I kissed a wall of snow. We’ll see how things turn out during the rally.”
The crews are now heading off to Karlstad. Loeb will be attending a press conference at 13h30, and an autograph signing session will be held at 18h30 in Färestadstravet, the town’s race course, before the start of the first stage at 20h00.
