The Citroën DS3 WRC made its appearance in 2011, to replace the Citroën C4 WRC – due to a change in regulations. It remained Citroën's official weapon in the World Rally Championship until 2016. Overall, the model enabled the manufacturer to claim 26 victories in the World Rally Championship. No fewer than 11 of these 26 successes were won by chassis #17.

Why not? Loeb and Ogier in 2011, Loeb and Hirvonen in 2012, and finally Loeb's one-offs, Sordo's 2013 Deutschland win and Meeke's wins

Oh crap, first thing in the morning and I guess my eyesight was too fuzzy as I thought it was about C3 WRC. I had to look twice to get it all straight. My bad!

we are more likely to use the word " kink or kinks" in nz as in there is a kink in the road

I don't care about american rallying, but I must say this contraption intrigues me. Any body knows more about this V8 Ferrari powered Impreza?
