For me it's also strange that Citroen would use so much time on testing the new aero just before one of the two rallies where it matters most (together with Finland) and then not run anything. But stranger things have happened before.
What`s strange? Their test days are limited on a yearly bases and they need to test it on high speed roads for next season. In November-December it would be too late for several reasons, test road availibility, limited time to make changes to the aero if needed etc.
World RX lurches from one crisis to the next.
KMS may have committed based on Red Bull being there, but hopefully they can find new sponsors with the Championship getting free live coverage on YT.
