Rally Vosges
In recognition two weeks before the WRC Rally of France, Finland's Kimi Raikkonen has created a sensation yesterday near Saint-Etienne-les-Remiremont in this 25th edition of the rally Vosges, who recorded a handsome plate of 140 drivers, which filled Nasazzi Francis, President of ASAC Vosges: "It really is a beautiful plateau with good fight in all categories, and the presence of Kimi in the Vosges is a great gift." Although the Finn, came to "eat" tar, 18 wins and a title of world champion Ferrari in F to its credit, has demonstrated his talent at the wheel of the WRC Citroen, a monster of technology. And on the road the car herringbone Vosges, has, as requested by the Citroen factory, passed his life test by relegating more than three minutes after her in the person of the young prodigy Vosges, Quentin Gilbert and his Renault Clio Max. It must be admitted that the pilots were fighting in another regional court, and the Finn was untouchable. « "We came here to work and develop our driving on asphalt and earth, my weak point," he confided to his arrival at the park closed.

Kimi Räikkönen gets his first rally win!
Back earlier this year ... A few days after the announcement of the deal Raikkonen / Red Bull / Citroen, the Citroen team boss Olivier Quesnel launched his prediction: "Kimi Raikkonen could finish on the podium before a round of the WRC end of the season. "It is clear that Quesnel is not as Madame Sun's Finn results are not exceptional. However, participating in the Rally Vosgien yesterday, the World Champion F1 2007 won his first victory in the discipline.
As he had done with the Arctic before Sweden and Bulgaria before Lanterna, Kimi Raikkonen was involved in the Vosges yesterday to prepare for the Rally of Alsace (new round of the WRC). Without his able opponent - both in popularity and material - Kimi won in achieving the six fastest times of the race and with three minutes ahead of Quentin Gilbert (Renault Clio Maxi), Armando Pereira (Peugeot 206 WRC), Steve Mourey (Peugeot 206 S1600) and Cedric Robert (Peugeot 206 F2000).
It was at least a good opportunity for spectators to see more closely the former Ferrari driver announced before the dreadful mob in Alsace.

Raikkonen wins French national rally
By David Evans Sunday, September 19th 2010, 13:24 GMT
Red Bull driver Kimi Raikkonen has won his first ever rally - the Rallye Vosgien which started and finished yesterday.
The Finn was driving his usual Citroen C4 WRC and was unbeaten on all six stages on the national-level French event, which ran in the Strasbourg area close to where the next round of the World Rally Championship, the Rally of France, will be based.
The event, which took Raikkoen a shade under an hour to complete, consisted of two stages run in three loops - and Raikkonen won by more than three minutes from Quentin Gilbert in a Renault Clio Maxi.
"This was a good preparation for the Rally of France," said Raikkonen. "From what I am told, the roads on this event were fairly representative of what we will see on the next WRC round, so I am happy. It's also good to get back into driving the car on asphalt - that's very useful as well."
The Citroen Junior Team is unable to test ahead of the Strasbourg-based WRC having used or pre-assigned all of its 15 test days. Competing on the Rallye Vosgien was the next best thing to a test for Raikkonen and co-driver Kaj Lindtsrom.
