    It depends, to me it seems Ogier drives well (or even faster) under pressure. What he has to do to have a chance is unsettle Ogier, beat him directly on some stages and rallies then maybe Ogier will show his weakness. If Ogier keeps winning, especially starting first on the road, his confidence will not be shaken.

    Loeb wanted to make a couple of rallies in 2016 and develop the 2017 car, but Citroen closed the door:

    It seems like this time Meeke wants to develop the car according to himself and maybe the reason he doesn't want any Loeb involvement?

    It makes some kind of sense for Citroen though.

    Back in '13 and '14 they weren't sure they would continue in WRC so they needed a driver who they knew would perform well, so they tried to get Loeb for some rallies.
    Now, Loeb isn't going to be their future star in their full-time WRC commitments so I understand their decision to get other drivers get as much experience as possible.

    To be honest, I'd prefer if he stayed out of WRC. Comebacks are rarely good.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    I heard rumour (and I am nearly sure) the DS3 WRC was more powerful and with better suspensions than Fiesta WRC but needs only one style of driving- the Loeb style. On the other hand Fiesta WRC is good for variety of customizing of setup. That´s why Loeb in development of C3 WRC would be counterproductive.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    As Loeb said in interview, he will not have anything to do with the new C3 WRC... He wasn't approached and dropped before the development idea.... Oh well.
