“On fast sections, it’s better [than the Citroën C3 Rally2], for sure,” he said. “On slow and when the grip is high, the Citroën worked very well and I hope I have the same feeling in Portugal [with the Lancia].
“We need to adapt more the car to be able to fight on every condition, on every profile and the plan is to do that with Lancia. It’s a bit early to know where we are because we don’t test a lot, to be honest.
“The car feels very fast, and now it’s time to race. On Tarmac, it’s a proper rally car, for sure, and I am sure if we work a lot on gravel, it will be good.”
Rossel revealed he did four gravel tests with the car last year and one this year – as well as Italy’s Rally Città di Foligno in March – and “the feeling was very good”.

“But it’s always more easy to adapt the car during the testing, when you know very well the stage,” he added. :When you adapt the car on the track, especially on the track, and the rally is always tricky and always different, I am sure the car will be more faster in the future.
“I don’t know if in Portugal we can fight for the victory, but the plan is to have no questions about the setting and try to adapt the car on every condition on Portugal because the conditions change a lot.”
