and probably Australia due to jet lag. So other rally will be probably with Loeb. Mexico, Corsica, Portugal, Finland, Germany, GB, Spain - quite nice rallys for Loeb
Loeb has said dozens of times he only wants to do 2 or 3 WRC events next year. He’s now focused in winning the Dakar and then he wants to beat VW at the WRX. He’ll be pretty busy preparing the new 208 in the new structure Peugeot will probably have in rallycross.

Anyway, and like many of you have been mentioning for a long time, what makes everybody worried about Citroen’s future it’s Citroen top management choices. They weren’t able to get Ogier and they’ve let Mikkelsen go. Can we hope for a plan C?

Besides the usual 4 or 5 events Al Qassimi usually 'must' do, and the 2 or 3 Loeb can enter, there’s still room to get an experience driver in the third C3 for the remaining rally’s, helping to secure points and developing the C3. Haninnen or even Ostberg would be practical choices, as they’re available and not expensive.

If instead Citroen chiefs decide to keep Lefebvre in the third car, that would be a revealing sign of how much they’re unable to recover the team. Soon we'll know; meanwhile, fingers crossed!
