Citroen WRT

It could go either way. If Citroen have a better 2018 perhaps they will commit properly to 2019.

I am pleased to see Loeb back, but also think it’s wise not to do a full season and spoil his legacy (like for example Schumacher did in F1)

You have to be concerned that this is the last real year as a proper Manufacturer team. The question to ask is, why aren't they getting a bigger budget?

because they are not a manufacturer they are an arab advertisement billboard with wheels

I am pretty indifferent to Loeb coming back cause at least in Mexico and Spain the road position is going to make him OP so even if he wins there is a weird aftertaste.

Also, I don't think Schumacher spoilt his legacy. That legacy cannot be spoilt. Neither can Loeb's.

Interesting fact from Jarno Saari in Twitter:

"A driver with zero WRC wins has never done full WRC season."

Eric Camilli 2016? Ott Tänak 2016 and 2015?

Ah, understood wrong. He's referring to Breen, having no wins and no full seasons, who should be happy with 10 events. I still disagree. He's never going to learn Mexico or Spain if he doesn't go there. And doing less events than last year.

I hope they'll at least provide an R5 for Breen in those events.

Breen: Citroen's C3 WRC car becoming 'more compliant' ahead of 2018

Nope, I dont get this Citroen 2018 line-up decision at all.

Just having a two-car team is ridiculous if they are serious about trying to win either title.

Dropping Breen for a couple of rounds to bring in Loeb makes no sense either. Smacks of desperation or a PR stunt as Simmi said.

Also still no info on the driver of the PH-run C3 ... can this be the effective 3rd car ? I dont see it.

I see another last place for Citroen in 2018 and a sad exit.

[pantealex]

I think that PH_C3WRC is event by event rental car so we will only know for 1 event in time, sometimes not before entries are out.

Kind of like that teams maybe keep also other info for that "AutoShow" presentation than just their liveries.

It really annoys me if they can't get Breen in the PH Sport car for those 3 events that Loeb will do. Surely that has to be possible, and then they can sell the seat to the highest bidder on the other 10 rounds.

As for that article above about the C3 becoming more compliant, it's just a Citroen PR puff piece fed to the news outlets to deflect (along with the Loeb return news) from them scaling back on their wrc program and the negativity around the team . They also have a PH Sport seat to sell for 13 rounds, so do you expect a young driver under contract to come out and say the car is still violent and unpredictable? I won't be believing a word of it until we see how Meeke and Breen can do in the first two events (Which went horribly wrong this year). Meeke's words would probably carry more weight than Breens at this stage too, but he's been quiet so far.
