Citroën C2-R2 MAXs Comes Out On Top

Now that rally championships all over the world are underway, the Citroën C2-R2 MAXs have been making their presence felt at the top of the time sheets. Within the next few weeks, the latest initiative from Citroën Racing is going to be making more and more headlines with the first rounds in Poland and also the Czech Republic, where a Trophy is about to be launched.

The C2-R2 has been the car to beat in Belgium, where rising star Thierry Neuville got the better of several more experienced crews on the Rallye de Wallonie and in France, with the maximum number of 35 entries having been reached, the Citroën Racing Trophy is at full strength.

On the Alsace Vosges Rally, there were two C2-R2 MAXs on the podium. In Dieppe, Marc Amourette was first in Group R and fourth overall. On gravel, in Auxerre, Bryan Bouffier made a remarkable debut by winning Group R on his first event in the C2-R2 MAX.

On the same weekend, Maxime Hourcade also won Group R on the Lozère Rally. Beforehand, the Citroën Racing Trophy was also present on the French Championship, at a Lyon-Charbonnières Rally that provided a formidable challenge for the C2-R2 MAX.

The rally scene in Portugal took a month’s break during April, but the duel in the UK between Jason Pritchard and Marty McCormack continued, with both drivers claiming a victory apiece.
