    Meeke is still under contract til the end of 2018.

    Mikkelsen-Meeke-Breen is a decent line-up for Citroen.

    Yeah I think him driving and being seen on the TV brings more interest for Abu Dhabi to keep sponsoring rallying.

    So is Lefebvre who you've omitted. If Citroen don't think it's working I'm sure they can pay any of the existing guys out of the final year of their contracts.

    You can take that two ways, one they don't want him involved (for any of the various theories earlier in this topic), or two he is too busy trying to fix the other really ugly Citroen.

    As for the C3 R5, other than being another ugly Citroen, is it just me or is the opening in the front bumper quite small?

    This C3 R5 gives them an excuse to demote Lefebrve for most of the rallies next year. They'll need someone to showcase the car on the world stage after the other poor R5s PSA developed, and the current C3 appearing a dud.

    Agree, but I´m not so sure about this regarding decisions of Matton in the past.
