Sebastien Loeb and Dani Sordo have been testing for Citroen Sport in northern Sweden this week ahead of Rally Norway in February, according to norsk-rally.com.
Thomas Radstrom is also on hand to test the C4 with Loeb and Sordo. Citroen Sport decided to test in northern Sweden (close to Lapland), near Borgafjällu in the province of Västerbotten, as they wanted terrain similar to Norway ie: twisty, mountainous roads.
Citroen Sport have yet to comment on the recent WRC withdrawals of Subaru and Suzuki but are committed to the series for 2009.
Meanwhile, PH Sport's test (pictured below) in the France last week in preparation for Rally Ireland, see www.wrcisfree.com, had to be cut short due to the conditions. The team were using the tyres that will be permitted for Rally Ireland. The tyres couldn't cope with the snow and ice resulting in the test being aborted and this could cause problems for the opening WRC round in January.

The test took place in the Vosges region near the German border in the North East of the country but was cancelled after one day, Conrad Rautenbach performed the driving duties up until the cancellation. Sebastien Ogier was scheduled to test also, but was unable to with the test being halted prematurely.
