Citroën Total World Rally Team Focused on 2020

Following a strong start to Friday’s opening leg on gravel, winning the first stage, Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia saw their chances of victory dealt a fatal blow by a hydraulics issue on the next stage. The French pair then focused on making it to the end of the rally in the best possible position. Having moved up to eighth overall on Saturday, confirming the progress of the C3 WRC on tarmac with several strong times, they continued to run in-competition tests on Sunday aimed at future outings on this surface.

Ogier and Ingrassia’s efforts were unfortunately not enough to prevent Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja from winning the drivers’ and co-drivers’ world titles. The Citroën Total World Rally Team will now turn its attention to 2020, determined to enable the French duo to take back their number one spot. It will approach the final round of the season in Australia (14 – 17 November) with the same fighting spirit as usual and the clear intention to finish the 2019 season – in which it has already claimed eleven podiums and three overall wins – in style.

Showing confidence in the C3 WRC, Esapekka Lappi and Janne Ferm gradually improved their pace on the opening day on gravel, lying just four seconds off the podium at the start of the second loop. Unfortunately, they were hit by an engine failure, leaving them with no choice but to retire altogether from the rally.

Sébastien Ogier, Citroën Total WRT driver: "Clearly, this wasn't the result that we were hoping for coming into this round. We were determined to fight right to the end but unfortunately, it was all over for us early in the weekend. After the issue on Friday, inevitably our adrenaline and motivation levels were never quite the same, but we did what we could to be as professional as possible, to work on the car’s tarmac set-up and still try to push hard. Congratulations to Ott and Martin for deservedly winning the titles. They have done it in style.”

Esapekka Lappi, Citroën Total WRT driver: “I'm disappointed that my rally came to a premature end, especially as I had enjoyed a pretty solid and consistent opening leg up to that point, in terms of pace. I was feeling comfortable in my C3 WRC; the gaps were small and we were up for a tough fight. I was looking forward to seeing how much progress we could make on tarmac and the times set by Sébastien and Julien suggest that as a team, we have definitely moved in the right direction. I will now look forward to Australia and finishing the season on a high with the best possible result.”
