1.Mikkelsen 2.Lefevbre 3.Latvala 4.Ogier 5.Neuville......
But Second case is entry speed (speed after strightway)
1.Neuville 2.Tanak Ogier 3.Latvala 4........
Citroen`s cars are in other league if we talk about speed.......sorry but I see on my eyes....
I run on rallies about 20 years.....

Well if they have slowest speed then they clearly can brake later.

So is it Meeke, Breen and Mikkelsen for Finland?

Meeke, Breen and Al-Qassimi for Finland.
Meeke, Breen and Mikkelsen for Deutchland. So it's their first duplicate car-driver-lineup this season, same as in Sardegna.

Didn't quite get why no Lefevbre for Finnland. Sure Mikkelsen is probably playing hard to get and wants extra tests, but shouldn't be a problem for Lefevbre. They already ran 4 cars in Portugal.

Running out of money?


In other news, Poland was the first rally of the season where they got 2 cars in top 10. Their 2nd highest manu points score as well.

Kinda tells how bad the season has been so far more than anything.

So true it's sad (the other news part), I've noticed it aswell but I really really hope they can get back to winning ways (or at least podium ways) before the end of this season.

I have to assume they haven't got the budget to put out four cars on events. Remember this is the team who really only wanted to run two cars this year.

I didn’t comment Breen’s Germany alleged absence because I found it hard to believe. There’s a lot of misinformation and some journos (brits, french, whatever…) are acting like vultures around Citroen. With so many fantastic things going on in WRC (epic fights; new talents rising; amazing tech developments, etc) to keep messing around with one team misfortunes is a waste of time and a sad way to report the sport. Citroen, the WRC and us, the fans, deserved better.

The many repairs of Lefebvre's and Meeke's cars and paying their wages do cost.

Mikkelsen prbly did not pay anything, most likely even wanted some pay after first test/sardinia.

Also even Hyundai says they can't afford 4 cars.

Well that's why I'm asking you guys, 'cause it's hard to tell with all the misinformation.
