Become undefeated in the world championship in Argentina since 2004 and victorious on the last four rounds this season, Citroen World Rally Team heads to South America on a high. It will rely on data accumulated during tests in Portugal and Italy earlier this season to determine a workable set-up for Argentina. The squad also spent part of last week running a DS3 WRC on asphalt using the regulation soft compound Michelin gravel tyre to give its drivers an understanding of how the car will perform on the chunks of Tarmac sections included on this year’s route. Jetlag won’t be a problem for the Citroen team: last Saturday Sebastien Loeb and Sebastien Ogier took part in a road show event on the city’s Place de la Republique, which was watched by an estimated 50,000 fans.
