Surely Citroen & Hyundai will just have their graphic guys re-wrap the cars overnight on Friday??

That would be my guess too.

They have done that previously.

Toyota has made it even worse with its white diveplane

[er88]

Yeah Saturday is the WRC launch day and the day Citroen and Hyundai unveil their new livery. Toyota probably no real change. Citroen will feature no Abu Dhabi.

Do any of the experts know if the Citroen pictured has the new aero? (I think we are expecting a new rear wing, light front splitter changes and front wing deflectors?)

Meh, I think it looks a little better (and less tacked on, at least!)

One thing I notice is that the diveplanes have lips on their outer edges now. Havw they always been like that or is it a new aero element?

Yeah I agree, I prefer it, doesn't look like an afterthought now.

I reckon that is their 2019 livery.

you want the same experts that believe.... the liveries are going to be different for 2019 and they just had the old cars up on ramps at the show just to test the light conditions.... to answer ??

I thought it was weird that M-Sport revealed their livery today. But I reckon contractually they probably couldn't put an old Red Bull liveried show car up on a stand in 2019. It probably put them in a tricky situation. So as soon as they knew there would be that requirement they just launched the press photos.

Just my guess anyway.
