Nice piece. Not a complete surprise as active diff issues were previously mentioned, still it’s quite puzzling to think how no one (including test drivers) realized a major fault during the 8 or 9 developing months…
Btw, speculate Loeb’s short test as a sort of turning point seems to be exaggerated; it’d make more sense to credit it on the new tech director work.
Seems pretty clear to me Citroen are only going run Meeke and Breen on certain rallies, with Leferbrve in the C3 R5. 3rd car will appear on some events and be shared between the Sheikh and Loeb, depending on what events they can do.
I hope that's not the case but if so, where are Citroen actually going with this WRC program?
Budget is tight, they've shown no ambition to land a good driver alongside Meeke and Breen, or even a top young gun (probably because the likes of Tidemand etc aren't French). Maybe they are just content with running a tight budget and getting publicity through fighting for wins/ winning a handful of rallies, instead of going for both championships.
Will be interesting to see who all turns up in the PH Sport run car throughout the year.

Well, that sounds like a last year in WRC with another last place in the manus.

Breen will stand down in Mexico, France and Spain to allow Sébastien Loeb to return in what will be a two-car line-up at most rounds. Team patron Khalid Al Qassimi will start several unspecified events in a third C3.
