Aha, yup, PR team merry go round.

Autosport article confirming Otsberg out contradicts itself a bit:

Firstly it said the Citroen representative said the 2016 involvement wont be anything like 2006 however later on in the article it says PH Sport are likely to run a satelite team with significant input from Citroen

Does that not more or less mean that Citroen will have a lot of involvement just like in 2006?.

I think what the article meant was that it wouldn't be a full programme like it was in 2006.

Hopefully Volkswagen wont be so dominant in 2017 - with full factory efforts from Citroen, Hyundai and Toyota, plus semi works effort with Ford/MSport.

It's contradictory because David Evans is an imbecile who publishes whatever comes out of his crayon and on to his colouring book. He is a pillock and can't be trusted for anything other than speculation and his own dreams until we see it from another source or an official announcement.

Harsh from yourself there IMHO because the slightly contradictory bits come from Citroen themselves.

Congrats to Maton and PSA boss Tavares for their bold move. Others would prefer to stay as a dominant force at WTCC instead of challenging VW at WRC.

Citroen full commitment to WRC from 2017 it's great to the sport. Now we just need to see Ford backing up MSport like they use to (Wilson deserves it) and a proper promotional job from RB/MH (FIA must simply sack them if major improvements won't happen during 2016), to believe that 2017 will be a epic season.

Also great to heard Citro will keep Meeke. Just hope that Maton manage to get Neuville in 2017. A Meeke/Neuville line up would be amazing.

So, a lot of good news for the future so far: China will make his entrance in the world of WRC. There will be three full manufacturers entries from 2017 and M-Sport will be there as well. If they will fix WRC+ bugs and 2017 cars are not boring like they seem we will have a bright future waiting for us.

Are you not counting Toyota?
