Sordo and Ogier in Red Bull Citroen's... the equivelent money that Red Bull puts in will pay for development of DTM, Loeb wins 5 wrc champs in a row, gets rather bored of it all, and drive a C5 in DTM for something different to do. sounds plausable to me.

I think any non-German manufacturer wanting to enter the DTM ought to think again, unless they desperately want to promote themselves more in Germany alone. It's a great championship, but its reach in marketing terms is hardly global.

I dont know why there is so much negativity about DTM, the coverage on Motors TV is very good and lengthy. With a race the whole event can be covered with a few cameras and given a two hour slot on tv. I can see a future where rallying (hopefully) returns to its roots with lower tech cars and more traditional, i.e. non cloverleaf /service park centred events. If this happens maybe some of the current teams opt for a more hi-tech arena. Nothing stays constant with manufacturers in WRC - anyone remember Lancia ?

Also it would be good for Loeb to show the F1 retirement home drivers how to drive, and I dont doubt Citroen's engineering capability to be front runners.

let's put it this way. i think DTM is a great series, and i'm not against Citroen being interested in DTM. afterall Subaru runs semi-works effort in Japanese GT series. but i don't think it's worth to throw away everything Citroen has done with rallying just to go to national series. moreover, it'll be shame if they take Loeb with them.
Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

Anyway, during a speech at the Lisbon Motorshow(Portugal) last week, PSA chairman Christian Streiff said Citroën and rallying is still for a long time
So if DTM there is, it would be in complement with WRC and not in replacement, I suppose
