Citroen WRT

Breen just retired in the 6R4 with a broken propshaft.

Part of me wonders whether that was the plan, but Citroen tried to take advantage and squeeze some money out of Mads to subsidise the limited program they offered him, and he essentially told them sod off because it's an insult. He's done a reasonable job for them this year, why should he pay them to likely score them a decent number of points for the manufacturers on the few rounds they'll give him?

That’s a bit harsh, even Ostberg recognizes that in 2018 he got a much better deal than initially expected: https://www.facebook.com/MadsOstberg...type=3&theater

Since the beginning, Budar said he was only sure about having 2 cars in 2019, the third would depend on Abu Dhabi talks and, apparently, those didn’t end in a positive way. For sure it’s a bit frustrating not seeing Citroen fighting for the manus tile, still they seem to be in a much better position than last year, after signing the 2 best drivers available, one of them incidentally the current, for the 6th time, world champ.

Loeb saying he's open to drive for any team, but can he bring any sponsorship money as Red Bull is with Ogier at Citroen ?

And I cant really believe that he could drive for a competitor against Citroen.

Would be great to finally see Loeb diving something other than a Citroen.

Are you serious with the idea of "Loeb bringing money to a team"? That's as good as saying Loeb is a pay driver.

‘with any team in any discipline’

Loeb’s said it before to the French press: his main plan for 2019 is to do a full WRX season with his own team running the 208’s, with some help from Peugeot; somehow the program seems to be stuck, so he’s probably pressuring PSA to push it forwards.

A few C3 WRC outings are an extra and probably not that important for him or Citroen atm.

So, highest wishful thinking is Loeb bringing money to MSport, whom then afford Ostberg and Tidemand as 2nd and 3rd drivers. What a dream!!

Well, actually, Loeb bringing sponsors (aka money) is another story.
