Drivers: Florian Niegel (
Suzuki Swift S1600) and Sébastien Ogier (
Citroen C2 S1600).
Press conference.
Q:
Sébastien, a fantastic start to your JWRC campaign in Mexico, where you picked up a WRC driver’s point and put yourself in the history books by doing so. It must have boosted your confidence; can you win in Jordan?
Sebastien Ogier:
Yes, for sure it was a good start for me. It is more important that I get the experience and to get the same result here would be great.
Q:
How did the recce go? Are the stages like anything you have seen before?
SO:
It was tricky. I think it will be a good rally and very hot. The stages are not like any other rallies, but this is only my second WRC rally. It is very different.
Q:
You did the recce for Argentina; are you planning to recce every rally that is on next year’s calendar?
SO:
Yes, normally I will be on Greece. Not sure about the others. We will see, but I want to go maximum.
Q:
Dealing with the heat will be a big factor this weekend, have you been doing any extra training to prepare?
SO:
I have had no training for the heat. We need to drink a lot. But it will be a very difficult rally.
