Kimi Raikkonen got his first taste of the Citroën C4 WRC this week, at a private gravel test track close to the team’s French workshops. This initial shakedown allowed the Finn to start getting used to the car that he will drive on the 2010 FIA World Rally Championship.



The 2007 Formula 1 World Champion travelled to Paris to see Citroën Racing’s facilities for himself and test the C4 WRC on a gravel test track within the on nearby gravel roads. Having covered around 50 kilometres, the latest Citroën Junior Team driver appreciated the chance to familiarise himself with his new car.



“I very much enjoyed meeting the team properly for the first time” he said. “It was good to try out a few different things; I was very interested to see how the car reacted when you changed some of the settings. Now, I’m really keen to get back behind the wheel of the C4 again!”



Kimi Raikkonen’s first competitive outing will be on 28 January when he competes in the Arctic Lapland Rally in a Citroën C4 WRC to prepare for the forthcoming Swedish Rally, the first round of the 2010 World Rally Championship.
