Except when you have a driver benched that has won the event...


Is there anymore detail anywhere about what Mads is upto?

And agree, Citroen was a terrible livery, really hoped they would change this year to something new. But instead it's just polishing the same turd.

Citroen's livery is nice! It's simple and clean and fits well on the C3. I'd have wanted to see a more drastic change from both Toyota and Hyundai. That i20 looks worse now imo, with all that empty orange space.

Østberg's Fiesta is not sold or for sale. They are planning to rent it for other drivers. He is also planning to do Argentina and another WRC round, as well as two R5 outings.

I can imagine Henning or Brynildsen rent it to Sweden.

Yep, bit of a shame. I’ve skipped some parts hoping to see them later.

Interesting that Hyundai put the 2017 mirrors on this show car rather than the 2018 ones, which are a carbon copy of the Toyota mirrors.


Also, what was wrong with having a livery with a single base color for the whole car? Or just two colors with simple lines? These look like they were made by Jackson Pollock!

Mads said that he made deal with Citroen 9am yesterday morning.

I'm wondering whether these are fully functioning cars or just empty shells without engine, gearbox, proper suspension, fuel tank etc.

They probably used the same show cars as last year with the 'new' liveries.

I'm sure they are just show cars. Not much point bringing a full spec 2018 machine to just sit there. At least Toyota bothered to update the aero on theirs. Citroen's we know is just a 2017 car as it came in with 2017 stickers on it.

I think testing, and probably the service park in Gap is where we see the full picture.

Hyundai is a show car & I think the others are the real deal.

The fiesta certainly had insurance documents (what looked like) in the rear pocket behind Julian.
