Thanks Anelise :hug: :thumbsup:

Kimi is testing the same car as Loeb and Ogier? :huh: Or it's just painted in the factory colors? ''hmm''

Could it be the car Ogier used last weekend in Rally Vosgien? I'm just speculating, but I don't believe Citroen would risk a "works" car in a local rally and that would explain the stickers. :confused:

Hehe I have no idea! I thought Ogier would be testing new parts or setup for the factory cars and the customer drivers wouldn't get to even touch the factory cars but I guess if Ogier wasn't driving a works car then that would explain it ''hmm''

Don't know about Citroën but Ford has dedicated "pre-event test" cars that normally never compete in actual WRC events. The test cars are evolved to the latest specifications and are, among other things, used to find the set-up that will later be replicated to the works cars, as such they have the latest of everything by necessity and are very close if not identical to the actual works car, have an FIA technical passport etc. Incidentally those cars are also used sometimes in non-WRC events like national rallyes when one of the works driver needs some seat time in real conditions, or during shows etc. All the "paintings" are stickers so a car can change colors overnight if needed.
