Exclusive photographs, taken by James Hatfield, of Citroen WRT driver Sebastien Loeb testing his C4 WRC in Wales today (6 October 2009), ahead of the drivers' championship title deciding Rally GB.

Commenting on his Rally Spain victory, Loeb said: “It was important to come first and second here, not only to wrap up the manufacturers' championship but also to keep our chances very much alive for the drivers' title. I was above all concentrating on not cutting the corners so as to reduce the risk of puncturing; there was no point in trying to gain a few tenths of a second when there was not really any need."

Citroen are believed to be conducting a four day test in Wales, with Loeb doing the first two days and team-mate Dani Sordo completing the rest of the session on Thursday and Friday.
