    Remember Adapta’s attempt to run the ‘17 Fiesta? Current WRC cars are almost impossible to be run by privateers. Besides, from the interviews Budar gave it’s not clear that the cars could get 2020...

    Nope. As it was already told, Budar clearly said that Ogier broke the contract but a deal was reached to avoid future litigation. It’s not hard to guess that Ogier (using Toyota’s money) eventually...

    No matter how understandable it can be, the truth is that Citroen immediate pull out feels like a low blow on the WRC and on Citroen staff and fans. The car has improved on gravel since Finland and...

    Contradicting the earlier reports, Lappi also used the front suspension evolutions in Finland, apparently making the car easier to adjust. In Germany the C3 is expected to get engine upgrades.
