Also, considering the nature of Absolute Rally and Breen being friends with the guys, it could be that he just made the story a bit funnier than it was actually. To me it sounded like that in the first place.

Certainly Citroën could have fit in another car (expand service) but points understood re brining in mechanics, parts etc...

I was just wondering with Citroen having seeming to have improved the handling of the C3 on gravel/loose surfaces is there a chance it has come at a cost to handling on tarmac? From all accounts it has been suspension geometry and diff changes that have help the handling so could it effect the setup?
Newton's 3rd law of physics comes to mind. Just a thought and hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge than me can give there thoughts on it.

if i remember correctly they had different suspension mount points for tarmac and gravel so it should probably not affect it.

Actually we can't really be sure how much it improved.
Sure it was able to fight for win in Mexico... but they won there last year as well but seemed to have issues on every gravel rally after that.
Yes Breen's performance in Sweden was promising, but it's still way too early to count the problems as fixed.

Hope for the best, nice to see Citroen not last at the champ. table. Just a few days ago they said they would fit improvements for the C3 in Corsica.
Only you know your true potential.

The C3 has steadily improved since the new tech director got in. The car was already on the pace in Catalunya gravel leg and Australia. With the next upgrade hopefully it’ll be definitely fixed. Citroen should now start looking on their 2019 driver’s line up; they’ll need a more reliable 1st driver to have a chance to fight for the manus title.

Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
