    Indeed (finally) but they will need to collaborate between the current drivers and Master Loeb to get the best out of that C3 WRC.

    They're bringing Loeb in for a test.
    A desperate move, from a desperate team. All the flowery language and buzzwords ("dense and eclectic", " technical synergies") cannot hide it.

    My thoughts exactly, as much of a legend he is, it does appear to be a bit of a clutching at straws move from Citroen. How long before we see him put back into a car on an event, Germany?

    The car seemed to go quite well on asphalt, would it not be more useful to do a gravel test?

    It's a bit strange they've felt the need to create this 'PSA Motorsport' concept to rationalise it. I know Loeb had no Citroen deal at all after they unceremoniously dumped him as they began to wind down their WTCC programme. Reports were he was pretty pissed at Citroen at the time.

    Anyway my point is it seems a lot for just a WRC test. Have to wonder whether they will be an outing or two, especially as Citroen have publicly said this year is a write off ahead of 2018. Would be amazing but I doubt it.

    the PSA Motorsport thing is nothing new, they announced this a couple of years ago. The point was to have a more cost efficient structure and run all motorsport programs from the same structure and facilities.

    About bloody time Loeb had a go at the dismal car. Hopefully he can get some competitive entries too.

    We know he can develop a car at least! We'll see what he can do
    Best news in a while!

    The C3 WRC touring car is great on tarmac.. so why is Loeb doing a tarmac test.
