Pirelli is looking to bounce back from the poor results in Corsica and Spain by attacking on their favoured surface - gravel. Pirelli Competizioni's standard bearer Gigi Galli, who will compete in Argentina as he will in Sardinia in a few weeks time with the Peugeot 307 WRC prepared in Lyon by Bozian, is very confident about next weekend's rally.
He said, "The experience gained in Corsica, even though on asphalt, was useful to get to know the car well, a car that showed itself to be extremely sensitive to even the smallest change in its set-up or any kind of detailed modification. Certainly, the approach is much different for the loose in relation to a race pure and simple, but I like the Argentina's Rally and with the latest evolutions of the P Zero developed by Pirelli Competizioni, it is undoubtedly fair to suppose that drivers on Pirelli will be able to aim for good results, certainly better than in Corsica."
Mario Isola, Rally Manager of Pirelli Competizioni said: "The results of our latest test driving auger well for a rally that will see us start in highly competitive form, as seen with Solberg and the Subaru in March in Mexico. With the latest P Zero we have developed for the loose surfaces of the Argentinean pampas, we have completed a range of tyres for WRC cars on Pirelli that should enable our drivers to battle on equal terms for the placing that count with all the competitors on our oppositions' tyres."
