Citroen WRT

WTF...

Meeke is bound to be fuming.

From autosport.com

"Citroen has implemented two homologation changes for Poland: a new rear differential rail and a modification to the torque split between front and rear axles.

Meeke was unavailable for comment, but a Citroen source confirmed both areas where he had been pushing for change

We weren't just rearranging the current parts on the car

I have a car which is driving from the front axle more now, said Mikkelsen

Meeke had been pushing for the changes? well why were they not on the car before now? Mikkelsen confirm a car driving more from front axle, surely this is Meeke preferred driving style coming from a front wheel drive background. And the fact that we were not just rearranging parts on the car means that these parts had, or were, being development but not tested. Most of Meeke and Lebrefrve accident are stupid rear end stepping out type accidents. It looks as if Meeke and the engineering team may have been at loggerheads.

Raises more questions than answers as to why it taken till now to suddenly get these updates on the car???

Mikkelsen being very bold with his predictions. Maybe not so wise.
