Spaniard wants to cash in on potential of C4.

Citroen's Daniel Sordo has admitted that he will need to take a different approach in Turkey this weekend, in order to avoid a repeat of the tyre problems that cost him at shot at the victory on the Acropolis.

Sordo eventually finished fifth in Greece after punctures on Saturday afternoon spoilt his strong run and lost him around 6 minutes.

Although Turkey is not quite so punishing as the previous event, the eighth round in the World Rally Championship can still be tough - and Dani has only one outing's worth of experience to draw on, after finishing seventh in Kemer in 2006.

Despite that though, the Spaniard is positive and with four-points' finishes on the trot in his pocket - following two podiums in Argentina and Jordan and two top-fives in Sardinia and Greece - he will be after something similar.

"It was in Turkey that I claimed my first fastest time on the loose. I've only done the event once, but it went well for me," he recalled. "I remember taking time to familiarise myself with the terrain before fine-tuning my pacenotes and then gradually upping my pace.

"I like the stages. You can drive with a slightly freer mind than you can in Greece because they're not so hard on the car.

"To keep up the sort of good runs I've been enjoying recently on gravel, I need to learn to adapt my driving to the condition of my tyres though. I know the C4 is capable of challenging for victory, and I'm also aware that everyone in the team is behind me, pushing me forward as they did a fortnight ago. It will now be up to me to profit from all that."

Citroen Sport's technical manager Xavier Mestelan-Pinon meanwhile has warned that the role of the tyres could again be critical.

"After the lessons learned in Greece, we are taking a cautious approach to the Rally of Turkey," he continued. "This event has always tended to be less rough than the Acropolis, but the stages are still tough on the cars and the probable hot weather means that the tyre factor promises to play a big role, especially if storms break out over the high-altitude stages.

"Our crews know they will need to take this parameter on board once again, while particular care will go into rebuilding the cars that have just competed on the Acropolis Rally."
