The C2 Junior Experience breaks new ground at the third round of the FIA Junior Rally Championship in Sardinia. To mark the occasion, there will be a full house of Citroëns competing on the event, with three C2 Super 1600s and five C2-R2s.
Throughout the 348 competitive kilometres, the C2 Junior Experience drivers willdiscover (or in some cases, re-discover) the unique countryside of Sardinia. The island event replaced Sanremo as Italy’s round of the World Rally Championship four years ago, and the route takes in some spectacular scenery before the finish at Porto Cervo – a well-established haunt of the international jet set. Sardinia is the second gravel round of the Junior Championship to be held this year. “The rally shouldn’t be as rough as Portugal, but its specific characteristics mean that punctures are always a risk, “ explains Yves Matton, Citroën Sport’s customer competitions manager. Some of our drivers are already used to this type of terrain: the key to finishing this rally and doing well will definitely be to avoid punctures .
