Moany Mads and the C3 WRC does not seem like a match made in heaven.
Interesting, could he be aiming for a C3 R5 factory-seat with some starts in a special-deal WRC? I can`t think of any other reasons, why he should prefer C3 WRC to M-Sport`s Fiesta, which he is familiar with and which is the current champion.
Yes, but that was HIS Fiesta and his private operation. He could do what others have done and will do (Bertelli, Kremer) and just pay the sum, fly to the event/test with two hands in his pockets and leave the same way. I don`t think that he gets to drive the C3 WRC free in a situation, where Citroen`s 2. and last manuf. paid car is shared between 2 drivers. Lets also not forget, that one car won two championships, he has experience with it and the other cas is capricious (rally Sweden being one of those "not suitable events") and was last.
Maybe MSport are 'full up' for Sweden with Suninen joining in? Or at least have three cars there already so won't subsidise one for Mads?
Maybe...although last year they also operated with 3+1, one being in S.-America. But like discussed everywhere, Ostberg may get into WRC2 and C3 R5 is thought to be competitive.
