Lets hope that there are going to be more than the stated 4 DS3's then, or if thats true that means no DS3 for Kimi and Petter.

Lets hope that there are going to be more than the stated 4 DS3's then, or if thats true that means no DS3 for Kimi and Petter.
So how many DS3s will turn up in Sweden ?
are we now up to 5:
2 x Citroen
2 x Citroen Jr
1 x Merksteijn jr
Or will it be more !
Nothing against Peter, but it shows only that money still talks next season. There is only limited amount of the new World Rally Cars available and now drivers like van Merksteijns and Kuipers (Fiesta WRC) are able to drive one of these machines. It seems that nothing has changed and if Citroen has only four DS3 WRC Petter or Kimi or both are out of the WRC 2011...Quote:

Regarding the article, then it sais that "Citroën Racing" is running/preparing the DS3 WRC car for PvM Jr. in 2011. Isn't it PH-Sport that are running the Citroën Jr. Team? ... I am pretty sure they have the last 2-3 years.Quote:

Good for him, but I think he will be beaten by top drivers with S2000.Quote:

Peter Jr is not that bad... But indeed there are drivers with more talent.Quote:

I know it is bad for talent drivers like Solberg and maybe other talents who want take a step forward. True.
