There is no argument against that.
It'd be easier just to recce the stages than to do all the preparation work you mentioned 😀Quote:

Yes of course, but I can think of 100 more effective ways to bring a sponsors logo to the viewers than roadside advertising banners on lame stretches of a rally stage.Quote:
Sponsors pay for our and the drivers enjoyment so we can’t forget them.

100? Impressive.
Name 10.
Keeping in mind the 'undue prominence' laws that exist in many countries that I'm sure you've fully aware of....
Of course, if You can :)Quote:

It would seem that he's broken it on SS3. No word to the organisers yet whether he will re-start tomorrow.Quote:

Go back to an alternate system -Western Aus one year and Eastern Aus the following year? NZ and China (or other Asian rounds e.g Japan) rotate WRC rounds?

C3Wrc 2017 concept ➡️ http://bit.ly/2czNout
Look at the side skirts on that thing! Citroen calling it a 'concept'. So I'm not 100% sure what we're looking at in terms of how close it is to the final car?

i hope it will be with this livery, looks amazing IMO...Actually i cant wait this season already to end and lets begin with 2017!
Calling them 'pods' for extra side-protection...Quote:

Why... if its an exaggerated version it will just make the real WRC look a disappointment.Quote:

So, you will have same kind of "concepts" from Ford, Hyundai, Toyota and VW.
That's a separate issue to me. Doesn't matter whether there's physically a rally car sat there or not. It's just whether this car is visually representative of the final car.Quote:

Citroen's statement read: "Very close [to] the finalised car, the C3 WRC concept car hints at the intentions of the Citroen style centre without giving everything away about its final form.
Because it looks sexy for the show but in the same time You can clearly see that it's unrealistic for real use.Quote:

I like the new livery as well. But there's no Abu Dhabi markings on it, so I wonder if the sponsorship has ceased. Of course this may be just a show design but my guess is this will be the real livery. It's so carefully-designed I don't think Citroen would waste resources on it if they weren't going to use it.
one shot straight from the studio

I really like it.
I think is a very carefully chosen corporate livery designed just for the Paris show. It's missing all sponsors that would normally be on the car (and have been for many years) with the exception of very small Total (who is a very clear partner of the road car business).Quote:

Just like when VW launched the car but with only corporate branding (even though Red Bull and others were well-known to be on-board from the Skoda year.
