    Get over it man. Meeke will never go to Citroen. He wrecked 1/2 of their budget.. literally.

    Ostberg brings sponsors and money. They could care less about his average Tarmac pace. He's already said he was interested in purchasing an R5 C3

    He is fast, you're Norwegian and have every right to hang off of Mad's nut sack. I was actually cheering for Mads before Finland and was happy he did well, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. He is not going to win any championships. I would actually take Mads over Breen, but they will get rid of both drivers if they found better replacements. I don't think Citroen is giving any of those guys a raise to stay on the team like Hyundai with Nueville and M-Sport with Ogier.

    You cannot base everything off of one event. Breen was third in Finland 2016 and Meeke won. Both did horrible afterwards.

    I think it would be awesome to see both Mad's and Citroen do well in Turkey. I will be there watching

    1. Get rid of Lefebvre.
    2. Use a better driver (Mads)
    3. Even better use a better driver with funding of his own (Mads).
    4. Good for business .
    5. Hire you to run the business and make millions and win rallies.
    6. Call Meeke and ask him if he is willing to destroy 3-4 R5's and win one rally

    I think they mentioned some time ago that they are working on new one, but was quiet now. Still better package then all other (even new ones) R5's. The only better is Fabia.

    Because you have all the answers. I already said they do not need Meeke. Do you honestly think Meeke wants to drive an R5 car? He would hang the phone up if you called him with such an idea.

    They need to replace their current line up with better drivers. Does not take a genius to see that.

    Yeah, they will release with the updated model. The new Fiesta/Focus lineup is out now.

    I wonder if they will also release a new R2 with the updated facelift.

    The VW will help change that
