Why? There are no Olympic Games this year... :DQuote:

We will, if it's true.
He knows ford so let him drive citroen and tell the differences to the hyundai boys
Citroen may disagree with you.

'Matton insists the decision to run a WTCC effort will not have any effect on Citroen's WRC commitment, despite speculation that the French manufacturer could pull out of rallying at the end of this season.
"I can only say what we say since December: we made an agreement with Abu Dhabi for three years," he explained.
"And nothing changes for the moment, there is no reason why we won't be there next year."
I'm also curious to see the reason why Hans Weijs jr. will drive a DS3 WRC on Rallye Terre de Langres entered by PH Sport next weekend...
Armindo Araújo: " Kosciuszko called me and told me 'Armindo, now I know you've been through'"
In Autosport.pt
My guess is Citroen built cars (the existing wrc DS3's) could be run by PH Sport in Abu Dhabi racing colours for pay drivers in WRC 2014 (15) whilst Citroen go to WTCC and Peugeot wait the introduction of R5 as the top class and come in then. If indeed FIA allow or encourage manufacturer R5 cars, I would like to see the factories homologate the cars or kits and then leave it for teams to enter, a bit like the IRC of old.Quote:

I'm scared.
Y. Matton: "Thanks to our partnership with @AbuDhabiRacing1 we'll be in #WRC next year, with new targets."
My fear has been lowered.
But expect new drivers! I think we will see a number of guys having one-off DS3 WRC rides over the next 4 months in national events ;)
Press releases can be (deliberately) misleading - if you read what Yves Matton says it is that 'our partnership with Abu Dhabi is set to be re-infoced, enabling us to continue to be involved in WRC with a new system and new objectives.
Does this mean pay drivers? WRC cars, R5 car, R3 car? The Abu Dhabi junior team with drivers from the Middle East? One thing I can be certain of judging bythe financial state of the PSA Group any company money will be going to the new toy of WTCC, especially as favoured son Seb Loeb is going there too. Citroen's rally involvement wont be like what we have seen for teh last ten years.
I guess something like M-Sport have with Qatar & Ford, probably using PHSport. Until Peugeot make a WRC comeback (if they can afford it)?
I think that will depend on the status of R5. Assuming Hyundai come in to wrc as expected we still have 2 manufacturers. Imagine if it was the might of VW factory team against Qatar MSport and AbuDhabi PHSport Citroen.Quote:

That's the Hankook test result?
Well, it doesn´t look good, but as far as we don´t know what happened or the cause of the accident, let´s hope it wasn´t PG´s fault... Rather some technical...Quote:

Whats this mystic picture about?
-Well...we'll see. Time will tell...
Is it possible that you will drive rally car in Jyväskylä
- Don't know yet... well see. I can't comment more yet that what I have in mind. Maybe I will figure it out.
How does the idea of driving in home rally sound to you?
- Heh heh, there it goes. I have to think a moment what the future brings. Obvioiusly it's not a stupid idea, but... (mumbling) We'll see, we'll see
I would go with crosskart. Pessimisti ei pety.
guess this must be true, no NZ or Australia................i just read it on the interwebz thingy !!Quote:

However if he's going to drive his fifties then he'd have to come back next year ;)
My fear too...would be a really lame advertising attempt... Let's hope not. :)Quote:
