a while ago there was quit credible rumors about Citroen having in 2018 only two works cars and one customer car run by PH Sport.
I'm going further with this...would it mean that Meeke drives a full season, Breen has to alternate with Loeb and Qassimi in the 2nd car while someone else drives the customer car?
Answer: NO
WRC Regulations
17.1.1 Each Manufacturer must use no more than 2 engines per car
name per season (see also Art.17.2.2 and Art. 17.2.3).
But
17.2.3 When a car does not finish...
Where do you set the limit?
Do you allow a new engine and a new gearbox on every day of every event?
Using your figures that would be €1.5 million in engines and gearboxes every event!
The WRC has some stupid rules.
The manufacturers spent 60 miilions a year or more to win titles, and then they limite engines to only two?
A third one would blow the budgets? Seriously?
