Citroen WRT

[mknight]

this site is saying that both Ogier and Loeb may be in the team with Loeb doing 4 rounds, they say it is very likely that Ogier will join Citroen

That would be quite a letdown for me. Sure Citroen does not look like the best car atm, but if they keep pouring money they will get better (with good driver feedback).

For M-Sport it would be a disaster, imagine if Tanak leaves as well and at worst case M-Sport goes Evans, Camilli, Suninen.

Q:
Are any teams talking to you about next year?

I haven’t heard anything.

Honestly, I see it as fantastic news. Ogier is a game changer; with him it’d be possible to see Citroen winning again in all surfaces and that would be great for the series. Besides, he misses a greater support from French fans (some still doesn’t forgive his move to VW) and certainly he would conquer them all by winning world titles with (and for) Citroen.

Btw, besides AS (usually a credible source) L’Equipe is also mentioning Ogier talks with Citroen.

Why not Mikkelsen in MSport?

Ogier, Meeke and Loeb/Breen is some team. Lefebrve will be lucky if he can share a 4th car with Khalid.

Citroen have never really rated Andreas as highly as some people do, for whatever reason. If Matton was really keen he would've signed him up when he was released by VW. Same with Tommi. Mikkelsen will be hoping that Tanak goes to Toyota and that leaves a seat at Msport, alongside Suninen and Evans.

Everything will start falling into place once Ogier makes his final decision.

Tanak will most certainly be at Toyota which changes the game a bit.

Looks from the jumps that the C3 has a balance issue. Could be physical or could be aero related.
what does it look like for the specialists in here?

[racerx1979]

To me a few jumps at low speeds tells us nothing about a cars aero especially based on a picture. The angle can be manipulated by throttle or brake input prior to entry of the jump, during the jump etc. It could be an issue that the C3 has problems, but it could also be the drivers approach is different along with setup (spring rates, damper settings etc) which also plays an important role.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that there is too may things going on and it is not easy to give an answer to such a question...

Well, the front lift issues were there since Sweden. And after getting hands on the road car for a few days, it seems very plausible that the front lift is there by default. I don't know what they can do to fix it.more front aero seemed the most logical solution, but from what we know they are trying that to no avail. It may need a redesign of the front in both the road car and the rally one.

The design of the road car would have no bearing on what happens with the attitude of the rally car while jumping. They are completely different in every way other than sharing a resemblance to each other.

The issue with the car flying nose up in some photos is down to several factors that are nearly impossible to pinpoint just from a photo. The car does not always fly nose high and nearly all of the other cars have been seen flying nose high at times as well. There are so many factors at play here.

Chassis characteristics are very similar since the chassis is pretty much the same.
