Citroen WRT

If they continue in 2019 they have to either grab Sordo or Paddon or go for a youngster like Tidemand.

Of course Meeke's and Breen's 2018 performances will make a difference. Will they improve or will they be even weaker than last year?

I was talking of third driver options. I think Meeke and Breen are more than decent drivers.

Anyway you put it, this very well could be Citroën's last year in the WRC, certainly hope not...

i don't think citroen has future with that kind of approach.I really can't understand why they have small budget.When a big company like citroen enter a world championship must spent some money that goes without saying.I dont think if they spent money wrc they will bunkrupt.i really can't understand their logic(if there is).

Apparently, PSA budget cuts were intensified after Opel/VX buy. For sure it's a bit shocking to see Citroen running in such a controlled way, but it’d be worse for the WRC if they had decided to pull out. For now we can just hope the C3 will be fixed and budget restrictions eased up for ’19, if they stick to the original 3 year commitment.

Btw, the rumour about Peugeot taking WRC program makes no sense. Finot (PSA Motorsport boss) made it clear: each group brand would have a single major program and Peugeot is investing in WRX, with 2020 EVs introduction in mind (the future 208 street car is also expected to be launched with an electric version).

Škoda will likely come only in 2020 with Fabia IV based car.

It’s obvious Citroen is now cautious at giving away its future goals or expectations after a horrible 2017. I’m sure they would be more than happy with a few wins and a decent fight for manu points, but they know they had a tough year and they have no idea where they stand until after a few events. Everyone will have upped their game this year. It’s just as exciting as the beginning of 2017 if you ask me. So many unknowns before the start of th season. The addition of Loeb is another weird unknown for th team. Will he do well.. what if he crashes or what if the car can’t be competitive etc. I think there is a lot of pressure for the whole team.

I would hope as an addition, not as a replacement. We need more cars in the top class.

I suppose Skoda will replace VW (Polo WRC).

I would rather see that but hey I'm nobody and that's reality. Hyundai too will soon have enough if they can't be on the top..
