I would guess Østberg's deal is different to other paying customers...maybe he's renting the R5 cars and service from DG Sport but is being paid salary by the company for testing work (both R5 and WRC)?

Quite stupid since their cars are laying in garages of Citroen Sport. Why renting from someone else when you can have direct from conpany? Nonsense. To me it smells like he is paying for everything and Citroen uses him as a promotion like full factory team.
When you will all learn that their polictics is what it is. They are cheap and that's it.

No, but I would think that Citroen wanted the R5 out there getting decent results to try and sell some more cars, and using Mads was/is a good option as he doesn’t tend to throw the car into the scenery. I guess a deal was reached that PMI branding would heavily feature. Seems like a win for all parties, Mads keep driving without paying, Citroen get a decent/experienced driver promoting the R5 and PMI get good exposure.

Yeah.
A driver capable to win rallies in WRC, paying to develop a mediocre car in the second level...... yeah sure.
As said before, he don't pay, but he don't get paid eighter. The brands on his car pays his salary, citröen want the R5 to be a better car, they offer the guy that got the WRCar driveable to drive it for free to develop it, since citröen don't have the money to pay him after Abu Dhabi's exit.

Not sure if mentioned here amongst the apparent black or white arguments over Ostberg's Citroen deal, but DRM runner up Dominik Dinkel doing three rounds in WRC2 with Sarrazin's i20; Portugal, Germany and Wales (guess Sarrazin is using the car in Corsica).

Good to see him back in a Skoda, his Octavia WRC days jumped to my mind immediately :D
