Citroen announced that Sebastien Loeb will drive at this years Corona Rallye. With this Citroen wants to be prepared in case the event should be taken into the 2004 calender and, have further more opportunity for gravel event testing.

I originally heard that it was to recce only....has that changed?

 

[Ray]

Yes,..
Citroen will have Loeb in the event. Data collected will be vital if the FIA decides to have the Corona as a WRC round.
Peugoet did the same last year with Harri.
Just shows that we are being watched as for what we do on this side of the pond.

I just checked out the Corona Rally website. There is a story about Loeb doing the recce. However, he is not on the entry list and entries closed on February 28.

Yes Doug, you're correct.
Citroen decided not to run and only do the "Recce" instead.
I dug a little deeper this time around.

RE: Loeb with Corona!

The things a team has to do for sponsors...I, for one, would be smiling at least!
