Citroen WRT

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Did you know Sebastien Loeb was the highest paid employee in the PSA group? (I'm not saying for the duration of his time there, but for a certain period of time he was).

He is one of France's greatest sportsman and he will generate an unrivalled amount of publicity for any team he drives for.

When you say Citroen wouldn't pay for a third car, have you considered why? Please don't say it is financial, because it most certainly isn't. They have chosen not to run him.

Let's see what happens the first time he's leading Neuville.... I really don't think he will just roll over and let him past.

Those words on his website are all nice and fluffy, but they may not mean much at all when the flag drops.

When CC first mooted the Loeb-to-Hyundai idea, he said another good reason was that it wouldnt cost that much. He didnt believe he commanded a huge salary.

Also, if Citroen just chose not to run Loeb, why arent they running a third factory car with another driver ?

It's money.

Remember they have only had two cars in the last two seasons. They even struggled to pay for proper testing for some events like GB..
