    So when is the next time Citroen will be allowed to make changes on their cars?

    2019. The same homologation must be used for three years (2017 – 2019). During the three year period they can only use jokers and probably variant options (VO) for some parts. Current rules are valid until the end of 2022.

    Only in Finnish:

    And Meeke probably don't have motivation if he already knows where he will be next year(s).

    Money for car design and development isnt everything, as M-Sport proved last year (although paying for the best driver helps).

    But Citroen going into the 2018 season with a two-car team against everyone else with three and expecting to compete is just madness.

    Maybe they want to be last on standings and that they are there just for show and drama...

    Feel free to do that. (just kidding )

    They have a limited amount of jokers per year / homologation period. Looking at the list of homologations for Hyundai, it’s possible to make a new joker homologation every month if they want to spend all the jokers right away. Citroen’s Patrice Davesne said in an interview (RallySport Magazine October 2016, page 44-45 https://issuu.com/hi-techmedia/docs/...e_october_2016) that regarding the engine they have 3 jokers per year.

    “We can make changes, but some parts of the engine are frozen by regulations for three years. For example bore is not allowed to change, the distance between cylinder and the distance between camshaft can’t change. But we have three jokers per year and, for example, we can change in the same year the pistons, connecting rods and oil sump. Each year there are three jokers and we can use as we want.”

    Davesne said three jokers but Hyundai have made four jokers for the engine?

    Mads left for France to meet the Citroen team today, and the plan is to get first test tomorrow, Mads told a Norwegian newspaper during Rally Finnskog yesterday.

    Not sure where he will test tomorrow, but probably at a Citroen Test venue.

    He need to find some snow and ice asap! How much is he allowed to test before sweden? Are there limitations?
    If this becomes more than a one off, he needs to get a C3 R5 to get familiar with size and form, and get Citroen km.

    Well, outside of a certain circle of distance (I forget how far) to the team's main base there is a limitation of test days (which I forget the number of as well). All teams except Toyota have to leave that circle to get realistic test conditions for Sweden. Given that Sweden is such a specific rally and that Mads will play a far smaller roll in Citroen's makeup I fear he'll not get an awfull lot and therefore probably not ideal amount of testing. At least he'll be able to risk a bit more since he doesn't have to finance each piece of the car he breaks.
