Although their WRC programs have not been confirmed yet, Kimi Raikkonen and Petter Solberg will start the opening round of the World Rally Championship in Sweden aboard a new Citroen DS3 R3 each.

There were a lot of speculations about Kimi Raikkonen’s future in WRC, but the Finn will probably start a second season in the series with Citroën, as his name appears in the Rally Sweden entry list.

Petter Solberg’s entry in Rally Sweden has been secured very late, as the Norvegian driver struggled to find the budget this winter, and even considered to swith to WTCC this year.

Finally, Solberg will contest the WRC opening round, even if nothing is confirmed yet concerning the other rounds of the season.
