So, no major changes in calendar, only Portugal run end of may. Light change in superrally, where there will be a 7 minute penalty for each missed stage, while 10 minutes remains if you miss last stage of the day.Quote:

does this mean the DS3 WRC won't be promoting Citroen anymore meaning they will leave the WRC after next year?
Citroën Racing will still be in place for DS, as it is part of PSA.
Maybe it's even better, as DS will do WRC and Citroën WTCC. Two brands, two motorsports. Maybe easiest to understand. Matton said he doesn't know, for the moment, what will be done after 2016 for Citroën and DS (as it's sure Citroën will be in WtCC with C-Elysée up to 2016). Maybe the could switch WRC and WTCC, depending on the model they want to promote.
Yes, if the DS brand is meant to compete with Audi, shouldn't the DS racing car be on circuits and the Citroen Racing in rallying with other small cars and less 'exclusive' brands. It may mean that Citroen will no longer use the DS3 in rallying, but possibly the new Citroen branded equivalent?Quote:

I'm sorry but apart from Monte-Carlo,Finland and Wales what classics???? San Remo? Corsica? Safari? Acropolis??
I've read UP to segment D, so as far as I understand, cars could be segment B, C or D.Quote:
