The second leg of the 2009 RallyRACC Catalunya saw the domination of the C4 WRCs continue with a further full-house of fastest times. The two Citroën Total World Rally Team crews spent the day trading the lead, but it is finally Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena who will start the last leg on top, less than two seconds ahead of Dani Sordo/Marc Marti. Citroën appears to have an excellent chance of securing its fifth consecutive one-two finish on the Spanish asphalt classic.
Competitors were once again greeted by glorious sunshine as they headed for the first group of stages, with the day’s programme based on the event’s now-traditional format of three tests in the morning repeated in the afternoon. Click here to read more.. »

Following a string of victories claimed by the Xsara Kit Car, the Xsara T4 and – today – the Xsara WRC, Citroën is taking part in all the events of this year’s World Rally Championship (WRC) for the first time in its history. Citroën began its worldwide campaign on a high note by securing the first three places in the first event of the season – the Monte Carlo Rally – with the Xsara WRC. A historic hat-trick won by Sébastien Loeb / Daniel Elena, Colin McRae / Derek Ringer, and Carlos Sainz / Marc Marti. In 2002, Citroën had already made its mark in a host of international and national championships. Citroën enjoyed success in the Junior World Rally Championship, with the title won by Spain’s Dani Sola and his Saxo Super 1600, and the second and third places secured by Italy’s Andrea Dallavilla and Finland’s Janne Tuohino, through which Citroën was able to dominate the final podium of this discipline. In the national championships, 2002 was a great year for Citroën teams driving the Saxo Super 1600, as illustrated by the various championship titles won in Germany, Belgium, Hungary and Portugal. Last, Citroën also claimed first place in France’s Super 1600 Rally championship. The two official Saxo Super 1600s took first and third place respectively. Click here to read more.. »
