C3 WRC+ ACCIDENT
Terrible accident occurred in the Valle Intelvi rally for the Zambon-Pasini crew (who escaped unharmed).
The car in the video immediately catches the attention of WRC fans:
It is precisely a Citroen C3 WRC+, one of those cars from the “plus” era in which the cars were the F1 of the rallying (you can find a pinned post in our profile).
The car in the video is the model registered EY-395-GH, chassis n16 built by Citroen Racing in 2020. It has never been used in tests or in a competition by the French company and was sold directly to Gino WRC Invest who in turn rents it to anyone interested.
Since Citroen left the WRC in 2019 but the car was built in 2020 we can assume that that car is a “stock exhaustion” built specifically because the buyer (Gino WRC) was present.
When these accidents happen, opinions tend to be divided: there are those who would not like to see such a ‘monster’ out of the WRC categories and those who instead appreciate seeing these cars still on the roads.
It is certainly a pleasure to see one of those cars that recall a magical period in action.
