[情報] Raikkonen takes on WRC campaign with Citroen

[howard1224 (豪)]

Citroen Racing and Red Bull have finally confirmed that they indeed are giving
Kimi Raikkonen the opportunity to try his had in World Rally competition.
The 2007 Formula One Champion is moving on from an open-wheel cockpit to one
that is closed.

"I always wanted to compete in rally, especially in the World Rally
Championship at some point in my career," Raikkonen said. "Thanks to Red Bull,
 I have the opportunity to drive the best car of the series with the Citroen
C4."

He already knows how it feels to fly through the air, having made his World
Rally debut at his home event last year in August. Raikkonen with support from
 his F1 Scuderia Ferrari team ran in the N4 class in a Fiat Grande but was
unable to finish the event when he went off the road into a ditch. Prior to
that, the F1 ace was sitting third in class and 15th overall.

However while Rally Finland was his first World Rally event, it was not his
first time at rallying. Finland is a rallying country and Raikkonen took on
his first challenge at the Arctic Lapland Rally in January, driving a
Tommi Makinen Racing Abarth Grande Punto S2000.

For 2010, Raikkonen will discover more on how to switch from dry hard surfaces
 to icy or snow covered ones, how to run past spectators on the side of the
road to racing in mountain regions or driving through waterways; both on
tarmac and gravel routes.

The F1 ace will be in one of the two Citroen prepared rally cars under the
Junior team and he will have an expert navigator. Kaj Lindstorm will guide his
fellow countryman. Lindstrom was the co-driver for WRC legend Makinen plus he
ran Rally Finland with Raikkonen this past summer.

"This is a new but very exciting challenge. For the moment we have a one-year
contract and we will see how it goes for the future," Raikkonen said. "I am
really looking forward to testing the car and taking the start of the first
rally."

While under the Citroen Junior banner, Raikkonen will be one of four drivers
for the WRC championship team. Sebastien Ogier returns with his co-driver
Julien Ingrassia. They will campaign in all but one of the 13 rounds next year
, sitting out the New Zealand event.

The cream of the Citroen program will still be their top Total World Rally two
cars with Sebastien Loeb and Dani Sordo. Loeb will aim for his
seventh-consecutive title with his co-driver Daniel Elena. Sordo and his
navigator Marc Marti hope to improve on their final standings of third in 2010.

Oliver Quesnel, Citroen Racing Director, indicated that more news coming out
before the end of this year. He commented: "Red Bull's commitment and energy
are a perfect fit for Citroen's ongoing thirst for victory. We will continue
to count on Sebastien and Dani to defend our world titles in 2010, and we will
 also be prolonging our association with Sebastien Ogier who showed outstanding
potential this year.

"Last but not least, it is with immense joy that we welcome Kimi Raikkonen to
our ranks. We are very proud that he has chosen Citroen."

我自己翻譯了一下......



Citroen Racing 和 Red Bull 終於證實他們給了KIMI一個機會去挑戰WRC賽事，這位
2007年的F1世界冠軍將會從開輪式(露輪式)賽車的駕駛座轉換封閉式(?)賽車。

Raikkonen說到"在我的生涯中，我一直都想要在Rally出賽，尤其是WRC" "感謝Red Bull
，讓我有這個機會去駕駛這輛最棒的車-Citroen C4"

其實他已經知道在WRC裡奔馳的感覺，去年八月他在自己的家鄉完成了他的WRC初登場，
Raikkonen得到他的法拉利車隊的支持，參加了N4等級並駕駛Fiat Grande，但在衝出賽
道並翻滾至渠道(ditch)中後，他並無法完成賽事，但是在那之前他在自己的等級裡排
名第三，總成績則是排名第十五名。

雖然在芬蘭的Rally賽事是他第一次參加WRC，但其實並不是他第一次參加Rally賽事，
芬蘭是個Rally國家，而他其實在去年一月就挑戰了Arctic Lapland Rally，駕駛
Tommi Makinen Racing Abarth Grande Punto S2000。

2010年，Raikkonen將會更了解要如何從乾硬的路面轉換至冰地或是雪地、如何在柏油
路和碎石堆賽道中穿越周圍有許多觀眾的賽道、以及如何在山區賽車或穿越水路。

這位F1的一流車手將會使用Junior車隊準備的兩台車輛其中之一，而他將會有一位專業的
領航員-Kaj Lindstorm，Lindstrom將會與他的同胞合作。Lindstrom曾經是WRC傳奇車手
Makinen的副駕駛，也是之前Raikkonen參加芬蘭站賽事的副駕駛。

Raikkonen說到"這將會是一個全新但是令人興奮的挑戰，我們有一年的合約，我們會觀察
未來的發展" "我真的很期待測試車輛以及開始第一場的賽事"

在Citroen Junior的旗下，Raikkonen將成為WRC冠軍隊伍中四個駕駛的其中一個。
Sebastien Ogier和他的副駕駛Julien Ingrassia會回到車隊。而除了New Zealand站以外
，他們會參加其它所有站的賽事。

Citroen的核心還是會以Total World Rally的兩位駕駛為主，Sebastien Loeb 和
Dani Sordo。Loeb和他的副駕駛Daniel Elena將挑戰連續七年的總冠軍，而Sordo和他的
領航員Marc Marti 則希望明年的成績可以比今年的第三名還好。

Citroen的賽車主任Oliver Quesnel預測今年結束之前將會有更多的消息出現，"Red Bull
的奉獻和活力，對渴望勝利的Citroen來說是完美的組合。我們將會持續倚賴Sebastien
和 Dani來捍衛2010年的總冠軍，而我們也會延長和Sebastien Ogier的合作，他今年展現
出了非凡的潛力"

"最後一件重要的事，我們無比高興地歡迎Kimi Raikkonen加入我們的陣營，我們感到很
榮幸他選擇了Citroen"
