Sebastien Loeb was by far the fastest racer in Valencia in the first official test of the WTCC series with the Citroen C-Elysee. The duo Hond, Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro were the least behind the nine-time world rally champions. He was the first to drive a test Honda Civic, and Monteiro tested an updated race car ready for the race.
Citroen conducted five days of testing before the 2014 season with the new WTCC c-elysee race car, which took place at the Abu Dhabi racetrack. In the 2014 season, the Citroen team will be represented by three racers. Nine-time world rally champion Sebastian Loeb, four-time WTCC champion Yvan Muller and three-time Argentine champion Jose Maria Lopez. The first and second test days belonged to Lopez, and the third and fourth to Loeb. The fifth and final day was done by Muller, who was hampered by rainy weather. "Even though the track was quite dry in the afternoon, we didn't manage to do what we had planned," Muller said, adding, "We need to focus on driving dynamics and vehicle settings." Loeb, meanwhile, has already flown to Argentina for the next tests at the Termas de Rio Honda, where the eighth race of this year's W season will take place.
