Not sure this the right place for it, but I think it qualifies as WRC Rumour:

My initial thought was it would be an R3 car to rival the GT86, unless it's power-to-weight ratio could be at a competitive level for use in RGT. However the story states:

"The car will compete in what's said be a new sports car category"

Seems unlikely, or that they haven't heard RGT is well and truly underway...

Well the R-GT class is underway, but how many have entered? A handful if lucky, and nearly all Porsche. Still think the FiA could do more to encourage others.

How many times have we had "Fiat/Alfa Romeo coming back to WRC" rumor here over the past few years? I can't count that myself. I remain highly skeptical about the news...

Any news from teams about what the new WRC cars will be? Because according the Autosport report Eli posted Citroen will be using the DS3 but of course with new kit for the new regulation.

[Mirek]

Based on the interview with Matton for Belgian Auto news which isn't very recent they won't use DS mark in WRC anymore starting with 2017 but Citroën instead. That would point to the new C3 which is about to come on the market.

I have read C3 many times instead of the DS3 for 2017. It would make sense now with DS' "total" split from Citroën.
