Olivier Quesnel does not like the Jordan Rally

Already the other day I gave my opinion about the Jordanian test, but it seems that I am not the only one who thinks so. In particular I'm talking about a more disproven than mine (which is already difficult) opinion. And it is that Olivier Quesnel, head of Citroen Racing, with his usual desire to prominence has stated that if the French team will play tests to middle is simply because the FIA wants as well.
Quesnel considered that the benefits of a test in the area of the planet are insufficient considering that they are places with little tradition in motorsport. All this exacerbated by organizational problems that emerged during this year, forcing even having to cancel the first phase. Also not counting the rarefied climate of the past few months.
The boss of world Rallye team also has been dispatched to taste with Abu Dhabi, rally recently included in the calendar of the 2012 season. Although there is one thing that I agree with him. I also put me sad if the WRC had a rally of this type of features.

The FIA wants to have a test in the Middle, so we have to go, but it is not important to us. There are not enough people. I have to say that it would not be sad if it were not to Jordan. The sections are nice, but that is not enough. There is the certainty that there is money in Abu Dhabi, but I am also certain that we will not see many fans.

Olivier Quesnel throws gasoline on the fire of Citroën

Many you will remember that a few weeks ago I started a news about a statement in which the director of Citroen Racing announced that this year there would be no orders of teamwork between the two official drivers. It seems that Olivier Quesnel is a problem of memory, since this weekend in Mexico he tried to rally not attacked during the Sunday to teammate and rival, Ogier.
I say that it attempted, because the seven times world champion was not prepared to give his arm twisting and refused to accept the orders of his boss. Since then a real insult to sport and a great pilot as Loeb at the second rally of the season you force to lift to not attack your partner and the two come in procession to the goal.

After the refusal of the Alsatian, Quesnel asked that two cars to goal arrive at least. Sebastien Ogier, forced open the track and with all the pressure of Loeb it not above weathered and ran off in the first special Sunday running out so precious double of Citroen. The young gala star remained in evidence for the first time and acknowledged his defeat in the media of their country.

If I tell you that it was not taking risks it would not be honest. We played and we have lost.

Since then, it is not the best way to start a season, at least if I get into the skin of Olivier Quesnel. Just remove the bandages of the Spurs to their pilots, now to be seen who stays with the chicken coop.

When they are not journalists are team leaders. It is clear that we are practically new equipment per week. World Rallye can undergo a true washing face and now is Saab which seems to be very close to confirm your arrival. At least that's what assure Olivier Quesnel in an interview for the British Autosport.

While already a few months ago were heard rumors about the possible entry of the Swedish manufacturer, has now taken a different after learning that the Russian billionaire, Calyx Vladimir Antonov, could be behind the project.

The new competition prototype built on the basis of a new model, the 9-1 or 9-2. Since then this may be the beginning of an era very promising for fans. Back a step, reducing cylinder cars and the segment to walk two and multiply by three the number of involved brands. Hopefully be translated all these rumors.

Mini comes, Volkswagen is coming and seems that Saab follows the same path. Next year will be well and I think everything is in order by 2013.

Just a day to begin world Rallye thing is getting warm. Not only by the start of the season, but the pressure being from some means for the return of Kimi Raikkonen to formula one. And is that Robert Kubica accident Sunday left a free racing seat Lotus Renault that soon have commissioned fill media.

Kimi Raikkonen is Renault driver, which already maintained supposedly contacts at the end of last season, Olivier Quesnel has been quick to give its approval to the return of the Finnish. It should not be forgotten that Ferrari will run this year with a Citroen DS3 WRC rented by his own pocket money. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

If you want to go, not could claim nothing, because it is a client. He has rented a car with us with their own sponsors.

Obviously the final output of world Rallye Kimi Save all problems of material present in the gala brand that can not provide another of their payment, Petr Van Merksteijn Dutch drivers. On the other hand, the hole that could leave in the coffers of Citroen Racing could be also in distress team or at least its programme for private pilots.

I suppose that there should be considerable pressure throughout entire formula and Bernie Ecclestone, the FIA to see him back, because it still is an emblematic pilot for the sport. If you receive phone calls, they should be very compelling for return.
