 They must have noticed that the live tv stages give the most coverage for the first car running, and to get first running on a tv stage, you need to be the slowest WRC...The drivers to be entered by the team for Wales Rally GB will be Meeke, Breen and Al QassimiLast edited by AnttiL; 1st October 2017 at 07:54.

 According to rallye-magazin.de, Citroën have used jokers to change the suspension geometry, and will bring the new parts to Spain. Will be interesting to see if anything changes for the better.

 So they won't be entering Lefebrve in GB, and Khalid takes the 3rd car. Would've expected 4 cars if the Sheikh wanted to drive. 
 Also read in motorpsort news that they won't be testing in Wales at all before the rally, as it's too expensive.
 They also don't appear to have done any tarmac testing for Spain (to my knowledge) so it does it seem like there is very little in the way of budget right now. Only Ogier signing can change that and turn their fortunes around.

 I think it's also because they have written this year off and are focusing only on developments for next year.

 Can Citroen afford to sign Ogier... can they afford not to ?

	4th October 2017, 16:19 #859Not sure what to think of this article. We all know there is no need for Citroen to test in Wales as they're writing off this season. M-Sport on the other hand is in the fight for the drivers championship and they will most likely get the manu championship as well at this rate. And who can blame Citroen for saving money where they can so they can possibly payout for Ogier and or Loeb for 2018. I would do the same if I were running a team and had no chance of winning this year while trying to sign the champ. 
 
 If they don't get Ogier they will have Meeke and most likely Loeb for a few events. As for Ford, Wilson already stated he cannot keep Ogier unless Ford hops on or they get alternative funding. If the Ford boys don't come in I'm not sure they can sell enough M-Sport fanboy kits and or I love Seb shirts to give Seb what he wants while keeping development on par with teams like Toyota and Hyundai. I personally think the latter situation sounds a lot worse than Citroen saying they don't want to test in Wales because we have no chance at anything this year.
 
 Anyways, Evans comes off like a little cry baby in this case.

I always find it amazing how often the driver behind has "so much more pace" until given a chance to prove it. I do think the team first told him he was free to pass, but then later ordered the...
