Oguyet confirms his retirement after the 2020 season

The world champion has said six times that his current contract with Citroën would be his last in the tournament, where he reiterated his position on Wednesday.

"We are looking forward to the next phase of his career after the WRC, including the all-new Xtreme E Series in 2021," said Oger.

"I've often said, people ask me, maybe they do not believe me, I've never intended to stay longer than next season" said the Frenchman. "

Oguyet's role as ambbadador for the new Xtreme E series was revealed last month. But he will not test any cars in the near future, and we do not know yet he will participate in the new electric chain.

"I am delighted to be part of such an idea and such a project, as it could become a business plan for me, but at the moment, there is no clear plan for competition. "

For his part, Ogué focuses his efforts on defending his title at the Rally Finland.

He was the sixth fastest driver in the stage of "Chic Down" and 1.2 seconds slower behind the first, Ott Tanak.

Hyundai's Thierry Novell had his second best time against his new friend Craig Brin in the I20 Cup.
