It has also benn mentioned that Malcolm Wilson said Hirvonen is an "Ice Man" and will be able to withstand the pressure, to which the Finn has said that "I do not know, it is the first time I hear this.

The only thing I can do is try to fight for victory". Loeb also responded to his prize in the Catalan event, with four straight victories in recent years in ten shares." Undoubtedly this is one of my favorite rallies. I like driving on asphalt and the circuit type that applies here, which forces to be very fine and push th brake late and with great precision. " Local hero Dani Sordo, has acknowledged that "I have some pressure by virtue of being at home, with my fans. I have to ride well for the spectators, for Citroën and help Sébastien. I think I've progressed a lot, but I still have things to learn to go faster on all surfaces”.   Petter Solberg, who in RallyRACC asphalt debuts with his new Citroën C4 WRC, has said that "the C4 is much better than the Xsara I took so far, but I need some time to link to it. Also have not driven on asphalt since Corsica last year. He would have needed to perform more tests, but there has been no material time, so I've maxed out at shakedown today ".
