Dani Sordo will  become the main development driver of Citroen's S2000+ car, according to autosport.cz.

Citroen Sport had planned to develop the car in early 2009 but due to the uncertainty with the regulations by the FIA this slowed the project. But now with the new technical regulations coming into effect in 2010 the development can begin again.

The car should be based on the new C3 model which is due on the world market at the end of 2009. The new S2000+ car will feature a turbo revised inlet and exhaust manifolds, a quicker sequential gearshift mechanism (with steering wheel paddle shift) and an aero package consisting of a rear wing and front spoiler.

Dani Sordo will be the main Citroen driver developing  the new car in collaboration with Sebastien Ogier. Sebastien Loeb will be primarily involved with the Le Mans Peugeot testing programme but will also work on the development of the S2000+ car as well.
