Ostberg out, Meeke in talks

Autosport now says Meeke is still in negotiations with Citroen, perhaps for a development program and selected rounds. Hopefully they get this together as it would be a shame to have those cars in the warehouse all year. Otsberg definitely out of Citroen.

[JUF]

Not sure, if this is really realistic, but I would like to see Loeb, Solberg and Meeke as Citroën's drivers in 2017... .

[Nornbugger]

so two fastest guys after the VW's, Tänak and Meeke with no jobs then. Great!

two of the fastest, Sordo, Paddon and Neuville(when his head lets him) are every bit as fast

[AP-Racing]

Loeb: J’ai été surpris lorsque j’ai appris que je ne continuerai pas à défendre les couleurs de Citroën Racing en 2016. Nous avons construit ce challenge en WTCC ensemble, avec pour objectif personnel de décrocher le titre Pilotes sous trois ans. Je suis déçu que l’aventure s’arrête après deux années parce que j’avais la volonté d’aller décrocher ce titre et que j’avais montré ma compétitivité à bord de la C-Elysée, avec quatre victoires en 2015 notemmant. Une belle histoire prend fin, mais je n’ai aucun regret. Au contraire, je n’en garde que de supers souvenirs.

I really hope kubica is a possibility for citroen development program of the 2017 car... I think this is the best thing that could happen to his carreer right now...

[Bartek]

Ogier have contract with VW only for 2016?

I'm pretty sure that Matton has in his head something which will be spectacular...

[bassist]

I hope Kris gets the development job and selected events for 2016, and a full two year contract for 2017/2018 in the new car.

So M-Sport to have Ostberg as their consistent points scorer and Evans/Tanak going for podiums on their strongest surfaces ? Sounds like a decent plan..
