History
In 2011, Citroen Racing decided to deliberately change the structure of the team and the pilots who go to it in the WRC : the Citroen Junior Team fell under restructuring. Despite her achievements, Sebastian Ogier went to the main team, and former Formula 1 pilot Kimi Raikkonen almost went on indefinite vacation. Later it turned out that the place of the Citroen Junior Team will be occupied by ICE 1 Racing [3] , which included both Kimi himself and the manager of the disintegrated team, Benoit Nozhier.
ICE 1 Racing found funding in Kimi's homeland. Raikkonen will drive the team’s only car, the Citroen DS3 WRC , at all stages of the 2011 World Cup, except for the rally in Mexico, Italy (Sardinia) and Australia.
ICE 1 - the name of the team which is consonant with the nickname Raikkonen - Iceman, will live on the basis of Citroen Racing in Versailles on the outskirts of Paris. She will be eligible for points in the championship of manufacturing teams.
