A rally win and good asphalt set-ups for Kimi
Kimi Räikkönen secured the first podium finish of his rally career in July in Italy's Rally Lanterna where he was second after his team mate Sebastien Ogier.
In August Räikkönen won his first WRC level special stage in Germany.
Duting the weekend Räikkönen won a rally for the first time in his career when he took first place in the Rally Vosgien of the French series with a three minute 21 second difference to Quentin Gilbert.
It was a one-day rally and Räikkönen won all six special stages with his Citroen C4 WRC car.
-This was good training for Rally France. I've been told that the roads here are quite similar to the ones in the next WRC rally. It was nice to get a feel to the asphalt, Räikkönen thanked.
With it's rhythm the rally with it's service breaks was equivalent to the WRC program. Räikkönen and Lindström were especailly pleased with the set-ups. First they went to the wrong direction with the set-ups but going back to the old ones and making them better gave Kimi a good feeling for the car.
The race was a complete test for Rally France since the Citroen Junior Team has already spent all it's 15 testing days.
