In testing: Argentina special

WRC teams have been busy fine-tuning their gravel set-ups ahead of tackling the plains and mountains of YPF Rally Argentina (26-29 april).

Dedicated YouTube WRC spotters caught Toyota, Citroën, M-Sport Ford and Hyundai as they prepare for the second transatlantic trip of the year by testing on the gravel in Portugal and Sardinia because FIA rules prohibit testing outside of Europe.

Rally74r captured Corsica linea - Tour de Corse winner Sébastien Ogier testing his Fiesta in Portugal ahead of a rally he's never won in the WRC.

Thierry Neuville was also testing in Portugal as the Hyundai driver looks to take back-to-back wins in Argentina, he was caught by AsportZ.

Elsewhere, Craig Breen prepared to get back in the Citroën C3 WRC having sat out in favour of Sébastien Loeb for the last two rallies. The Irishman was filmed by FZRVideo in Sardinia as he looks to build on his second-place finish at Rally Sweden in February.

Ott Tänak will also be looking to keep up the momentum in Argentina after a strong performance in the Yaris on Corsica two weeks ago. He followed Breen to Sardinia as he looked to also clock up the miles ahead of Rally Italia Sardegna in June.

Thanks to GSB Rally Motorsport for the Tänak footage.
