勒布回归测试雪铁龙C3 WRC 拉力赛车
塞巴斯蒂安·勒布将下个月回到雪铁龙车队首次在沥青路面测试C3 WRC拉力赛车。但没有迹象表明他将重回WRC赛场！Sebastien Loeb will return to Citroen Racing and test a C3 WRC on asphalt for the first time next month.
The establishment of PSA Motorsport – encompassing the three brands Peugeot, Citroen and DS – has allowed the now Peugeot-contracted Loeb to drive Citroen’s 2017 World Rally Car. Loeb will drive the C3 for a day on asphalt.
Loeb, who won 78 WRC rounds in a 13-year career with Citroen, said: “With the creation of the PSA Motorsport entity, we can now form a single big team. At the same time as competing in cross-country and the World Rallycross Championship with Peugeot, I can bring my experience to Citroen by testing the C3.
"I can’t wait to get back into a World Rally Car and test how the technology has changed in that discipline.”
After a year away from the championship developing the C3 WRC in 2016, Citroen’s full-time return to the series has been fraught with setbacks.
Lead driver and Rally Mexico winner Kris Meeke was benched for the last round in Poland, with Andreas Mikkelsen driving the car and offering another angle on the car’s development.
Loeb retired from the full-time World Rally Championship on the back of his ninth title in 2012. He competed in the World Touring Car Championship before moving to rallycross and a Dakar programme. Despite those changes, Loeb said he remains a rally driver at heart.
“I’m still passionate about rallying,” he said. “Of all the disciplines I’ve tried since I retired 5 years ago, it's the sensation of rallying that I love most.”
There is no hint that Loeb will return to competition – and Citroen has already committed to Mikkelsen re-joining the Parisian firm alongside Meeke and Craig Breen – for next month’s Rally Germany.
Head of PSA Motorsport Jean-Marc Finot explained the thinking behind bringing Loeb back to a World Rally Car.
Finot said: “Sebastien shares Group PSA’s values. That is fundamentally why his career with Citroen and then Peugeot has been closely intertwined for so many years. He’s absolutely in tune with the team spirit and is one of the team’s pillars."
Loeb is one of the few drivers still active with competition history using a car with an active centre differential – one of the areas Citroen has struggled with the C3 WRC. 谷歌翻译等翻译的模糊不准确~·所以直接帖英文啦~·gochinway52；）

我怀疑的是帮助雪铁龙重新调校赛车~·{:4_658:} 当年开赛纳驰骋沙场的小鲜肉，现在真老了，当年笑起来都显得青涩 FIA的表现也不咋地啊,要认老了. achill99 发表于 2017-7-28 12:15
