Germany : Citroen Sport - ShakedownLike in the past, grey sky welcomed the competitors in Bostalsee service park for the shakedown. Around 10 o`clock, heavy showers fell on the service area and on the shakedown stage.
The 3,18 kilometres speed test, located in between Sötern and Bosen, was the same as last year with a chicane to slow down the cars.
Sébastien Loeb and Francois Duval started amongst the first cars and found dry and cold road conditions. Both Citroën drivers selected a medium tyre compound and noticed a lack of grip but a fantastic balance of the cars.
For their second group of runs, they started under the rain. Sébastien chose a intermediate set-up while François tried a `rain` set-up. After two passages, they were both very satisfied with their cars.
