Nobody expects them to win anything, if they can be competitive with MSport then this is already good result. 😋

Nothing, VW is done with internal combustion engines in all motorsport.

Best possible hope is someone to take the C3WRC's (with their new jokers and aero) off Citroen's hands.

What would it take? :D not much.. only 30-50mil euros

What will Citroen do with them ?

Should give them away - would be a great goodbye gesture and good publicity.

Even if you got a car like that for free, running it competitively would be expensive.

Budar said they were open to sell/rent the C3s.

Won't be much of a market for them....

Why not?
There is one private company who was intrested earlier on that year about c3 wrc.

It was Citroens partner PHsport and i don`t think there was a problem from their or Citroen`s side to run that car...just that nobody had the money to pay for such a thing, especially when you could go for a 3X title winning car, probably for the same or less (which also didn`t have much interest, apart from one outing in Finland and Tidemand/ Paddon/Greensmith, if you could even count those one-offs ).
