 Citro?n Sport has decided to enter two cars for the Cork 20 International Rally (September 28-30) with a view to honing its preparations for the final phase of the 2007 WRC season.
The inaugural Rally Ireland, the fifteenth and penultimate round of this year's World Rally Championship, is scheduled to take place on November 15-18 and its inclusion for the first time in the WRC calendar has prompted a long list of questions regarding the profile of the atypical stages competitors can expect to find. , Daniel Elena, the C4 WRC and Citro?n Sport were able to gain an initial idea of the country's roads thanks to their participation on last June's Donegal Rally. Victory on that event enabled the team to glean a great deal of valuable information.
 "To build up an even bigger picture of the Irish stages," explains Guy Fr?quelin, "Citro?n Sport has decided to enter two cars for the Cork Rally. S?bastien Loeb and Daniel Elena will be able to gain extra experience of these highly specific roads at the wheel of a C4 WRC, while Dani Sordo and Marc Marti will get their first taste of competition in the country with a Xsara WRC, since Citro?n Sport has no other C4s available for the weekend in question."
