Unless they can buy the entire team including the development department, there's just no point running them. Where are you going to buy spare parts if citroen doesn't produce them?

If you need them, if you pay for them, why wouldn`t they produce them? It`s not like Citroen racing closed its operations, R5 project is going on...

Exactly, with the right amount of money you can still buy parts or even complete kits from Citroën/Peugeot for cars like the 106 Maxi, Saxo Kit Car, C4 WRC, etc...

For sure those parts would be more expensive to an external team.

Ofc, like your average roadcar and its parts, manufacturing one specific car or its part doesn`t cost the same you pay in a shop/dealership for it...that`s the business part. So if they don`t get some sort of a beneficial deal, then the the price goes up quite a bit.

in fact no, they don´t even sell C2-R2 parts anymore. (there was DQ in Finnish championship because brakes of C2-R2 are not available anymore)

It's the same with the Corolla and the Fabia WRC, Wevers in Holland is the place to go.

The brakes are available, at a price. I remember when we ran a few C2 R2's here in their championship, everything and i mean everything had to be bought through the local agent for them down to a litre of oil/brake fluid ect...
