OMG I'm so thick
I've been coming on here pretty much every day and still I was convinced the rally was this weekend. So when I came on now and saw that there were only 3 pages to this topic I thought 'has no one followed this one?' and then 'oh no, he crashed out after driving the first millimetre' before realising it's next week. It all makes sense now

Sebastien Ogier and Kimi Raikkonen are ready for Rally de Portugal
“The short break did me a lot of good,” said Kimi. “We were able to sit down and analyse our start to the season, concentrating on specific details such as making pace notes and comparing our times to those of the frontrunners. A few kilometres of testing also meant that I was able to quickly get back up to speed in
the car. I know that we still have a lot to learn because rallying remains a completely new sport for me, but I feel that we are making consistent progress.”
In Portugal, for his fifth event at the wheel of the Citroën C4 WRC, Kimi Räikkönen is also retaining the same targets. “I said from the very start that it was just a question of learning,” he pointed out. “We need to have everything in hand before trying to accelerate and chase the leaders. So it is necessary for us to get more and more experience. That’s going to be our goal in Portugal once more.”
In order to prepare for round five of the season, both drivers took part in a gravel test session in eastern France at the end of this week.
This sounds good. Kimi knows exactly what to do

Thanks Anelise
! I'd also like to know if those were the final results at the end and if Kimi came 3rd. Also hope that none of those people fell off the building...

Petter Solberg testing in the Algarve for the Portugal Rally
The example of what happened two weeks ago with the team's official Citroen, Petter Solberg testing today and tomorrow in the Algarve, in the area of Tavira, in view of the Rally of Portugal. The Norwegian pilot has tapped to tune the C4 WRC for the tough roads of the lower Alentejo and Algarve, as it will encounter a kind of floor that had only parallel this year, yet with large differences in the Rally of Mexico and Turkey. Except that, in Portugal it rained a lot in recent months and is therefore more natural appearance of the rocks to the surface, and bearing in mind that the last few weeks have been dry, the floor is harder than ever, so this test is clothed of major importance in the tuning of suspension concerns.
