Valtteri Bottas prepares for the Rallycircuit on the Paul Ricard track
Valtteri Bottas went to the Circuit Paul Ricard for preparation for the Rallycircuit event, which he will participate in early December after the end of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas was present on Monday in the south of France at the Circuit Paul Ricard, behind the wheel of a Citroën DS3 WRC, to prepare for the upcoming Rallycircuit, which will take place from December 6th to 8th on the Var track.
Like any good self-respecting Finn, Bottas is passionate about rallies. This competition will allow Lewis Hamilton’s teammate to indulge himself a little after the end of the Formula 1 World Championship this weekend in Abu Dhabi: “My main goal for Rallycircuit is really to have fun! I know the Circuit Paul Ricard very well, having come here from a young age and now for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, but this will be very different in a WRC car and with original track configurations. Today [the day before yesterday], I think I made good use of these few hours of testing and I can’t wait to start in two weeks,” said the Finn after his testing day.
The Rallycircuit begins on December 6 with the shakedown and reconnaissance. The full program and ticketing are available on the official Circuit Paul Ricard website www.circuitpaulricard.com
