Citroen WRT

guys we don't know where exactly is the problem.Wait for few rallies more,and it will be more clear now with Mikkelsen,and at next rallies with both Mikkelsen and Meeke.

If you read some of my earlier posts i believe the diff torque split (among other things) was requested by Meeke some time ago, but they refused to even test it.

Get real! When and where did Meeke said something like that?

It's shameful that they have suddenly accepted what Mikkelsen suggests when everyone must've known the issue but wouldnt change it til he came into the team.

Meeke must be fuming - he gets dropped and then his replacement gets the new spec WRCS.

We all know Meeke complained about the C3 handling (not only in Sweden) but I very much doubt he revealed team private matters in public, like the refusal of changing set up you’ve mentioned. Besides, who can seriously believe that the main test driver, that actively helped to develop the car for more than 6 months, was not heard by the tech staff? Probably only brit fans and journos in a state of denial.

May be they don't trust their leading driver?!?

Don't buy it; if that was the case they would called Mikkelsen in November, when he became available. Honestly I believe Matton really trust and like Meeke, but he simply couldn't avoid putting a break on current Meeke crash record. Otherwise it'd be irresponsible, not only for Meeke sake but also for the team urgent improvement need.

Hopefully Meeke will come back stronger in Finland and he’ll fell more confident with the C3 upgrades. Fingers crossed.

I don't, know the situation is very strange. Obviously they wanted Ogier, but perhaps were too proud to negotiate with him, instead there was just a media hint "if He calls me, we'll negotiate", but I guess it didn't happened. So they probably lived up with "the Loeb settings" when he developed the C4, and that's how it is, his driving style is with no compromise with other's driver's one.

Ive no link, but i did hear 3rd hand. Its been mention on this forum before. Its no secret

WRC 2017 Mechanical Issues and Failures

It appears citroen have transmission issues in loose surfaces.. with problem with tyre wear. Something about the torque split they have homolgated? Maybe someone with more knowledge understands this. Meeke led and Breen close on Day1.. Day2 they both dropped over 1min to Ogier. It doesnt look good for PSA group for Sardinia if thats the case.
