I dont understand why he couldnt be a citroen driver, given the right car and backing he will win rallies, and i dont think he could afford to be a citroen privateer anyway.

Hyundai has officially pulled out of North American motorsports. Focusing on WRC venture. Interestingly, it seems that VW is dipping into WRC funds for the 2013 GRC season, and will probably be the main promoter of Xgames in Germany next year - I wouldn't disregard Spain, as well. Crazy world of automotive sport, we live in.
I am curious how PSA will pay for both WRC and the WTCC program. I know they are no Prodrive but that's still a lot of money to find for a company that is in some financial difficulty.Quote:
