Kimi確定要駕駛雪鐵龍C4參加Arctic Lapland Rally 熱身賽
World Rally Championship convert Kimi Raikkonen will make his competitive
debut in a Citroen C4 on January's Arctic Lapland Rally - a fortnight before
his 2010 WRC campaign kicks off in Sweden.
明年一月,轉戰WRC的KIMI,將在2010年賽季首站瑞典站前的兩個星期,駕駛雪鐵龍C4
參加Arctic Lapland Rally
Based from Rovaniemi, on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the event, the opening
round of the Finnish championship, has been run for 45 years and is sometimes
used as a test for the winter rallies in the WRC. Previous winners include
former WRC champions Marcus Gronholm, Tommi Makinen and Hannu Mikkola.
比賽地點座落於北極圈邊境的Rovaniemi,這裡作為芬蘭站的起點已有45年,有時被用來
作為WRC冬季拉力測試的地點。之前的獲勝者包括前WRC世界冠軍Marcus Gronholm,Tommi
Makinen和Hannu Mikkola。
Raikkonen made his rally debut on the snowy event earlier this year, finishing
13th in a Fiat Abarth Grande Punto S2000 co-driven by Kaj Lindstrom. The pair
will tackle next year's edition, which starts on 29 January, in the same C4
World Rally Car they will use on 12 rounds of the WRC.
今年早些的時候,KIMI就在雪地賽展開他生涯的第一場拉力賽。當時他駕駛Fiat Abarth
Grande Punto S2000,副駕駛為Kaj Lindstrom,以第13名的成績完賽
這兩人將在明年繼續合作,從1月29日起,他們將坐在同一輛用來參加WRC的12站比賽的
雪鐵龍C4賽車中
Contracted to Ferrari until the end of 2009, Raikkonen is limited in what he
can say about his rally programme until the New Year and confirmed the
appearance via a statement on his website.

However speaking exclusively to wrc.com, Lindstrom felt the Arctic would be
invaluable experience for Kimi, who is yet to drive a Citroen C4 World Rally
Car.
Lindstrom在WRC官網上說:他覺得北極熱身賽對於從來沒開過雪鐵龍C4賽車的KIMI而言,
將會是非常寶貴的經驗
Lindstrom said: "Getting the Arctic Rally in our programme was a key factor -
we really wanted to include it as a pre-season test. It's a rally that Kimi and
I have already done together in the Fiat, so he knows the stages - more or less
- and it will be a good opportunity for him to build confidence in his driving
and the pace notes.
Lindstrom說:參加北極拉力賽是我們真正想要包括在季前測試計畫中的關鍵一環。
KIMI和我已經在Fiat合作過,所以他或多或少有一些了解,對他而言,這將是一個用來
建立駕駛拉力賽車信心和做(速度筆記?)的好機會
"He hasn't had the experience of listening to, or working with, pace notes
since rally Finland. As far as I know the route for the Artic this year will
be same as it was last year, so we can use the old notes, and that will be
very useful preparation - both for Sweden and the championship," he added.
他沒有做速度筆記的經驗,從芬蘭站起才有。據我所知今年極地拉力賽的路線和去年一樣
,所以我們可以使用舊的筆記,那對之後的瑞典站和整個賽季會很有幫助
Lindstrom revealed a test in Finland before the Arctic Rally was also being
discussed, to help Raikkonen make the transition from his Super 2000 Fiat to
a turbocharged World Rally Car.
Lindstrom透露在極地拉力賽前,在芬蘭有過一次測試,主要是幫助KIMI從Super 2000
Fiat過渡到帶渦輪的拉力賽車
"The ideal would be to return to the test roads [near Jyvaskyla] we used before
the Arctic and Rally Finland this year," he said. "Kimi knows those stages well
now, so that would be the ideal place to get to grips with the new car. That's
what we'd like, but at this stage we haven’t agreed a plan with Citroen. We'll
find out more in the New Year."
最理想是回到今年我們參加極地拉力賽和芬蘭站前所用的測試路段,KIMI對這些路段很熟
悉,那會是讓他適應新車最理想的地方
那會是我們想要的,但現階段我們還沒和雪鐵龍達成協議,我們會在明年進一步討論

如有翻錯請見諒
想問一個問題:
請問拉力是不是有分很多種類,Arctic Lapland Rally 跟WRC有什麼不一樣
要去哪裡看這方面的介紹啊? XD
