Just dreaming - what would it take to prompt vw to join with some half-committed program? Current situation on drivers market is such that they get decent drivers who dont expect to be paid. Some might even bring money into team. They already have car... So they need to put out some money to hire support people , do some updating/developing of car and bear some participation costs. Nobody expects them to win anything, if they can be competitive with MSport then this is already good result. 😋

Nothing, VW is done with internal combustion engines in all motorsport.

Best possible hope is someone to take the C3WRC's (with their new jokers and aero) off Citroen's hands.

What would it take? not much.. only 30-50mil euros

[Fast Eddie WRC]

What will Citroen do with them ?

Should give them away - would be a great goodbye gesture and good publicity.

[AnttiL]

Even if you got a car like that for free, running it competitively would be expensive.

Budar said they were open to sell/rent the C3s.

[Oops!]

Won't be much of a market for them....

Won't be much of a market for them....

Why not?
There is one private company who was intrested earlier on that year about c3 wrc.
