It's almost sure that they will salute wrc for wtcc.

They would have done so without the abu dhabi money... now they are more of a moving advertisement for that place rather than a factory team.

Abu Dhabi have another three years with Citroen.

There is no rallying without advertisement and sponsorship.

For the privateers is essential for the serious manufacturers, no...

Manufacturers do rallying for advertisement too.

yes, but for their own, not for extrenal ones.

So how is Abu Dhabi better advertised than RedBull on Volkswagen or Shell on Hyundai?

Citroens budget depends on Abu Dhabi... VW and Hyundais not... or not so much that without them they would not compete, same like every proper manufacturer involvement that entered the sport.

Volkswagen and Hyundai teams are pretty young compared to Citroen, so their investments need to be higher, nothing unusual here.
