Caught a replay of the Monte Carlo Rally last night. It featured the much awaited debut of the new Citroen C4 World Rally Car on the WRC. Although it has essentially the same 2L turbocharged engine (providing a drool-worthy 315 BHP @ 5500 RPM and 570 NM @ 2750 RPM) as the previous Xsara, improvements in other systems is said to have improved overall performance. Even opposing drivers were awed. And it showed in the results: C4s piloted by Sebastien Loeb and Dani Sordo (Junior WRC champ) took the first AND second places respectively. It is, of course, in no small part due to driver skills. It looks like Sebastien Loeb and Citroen are going on a winning streak again.
