"The only objective that we set ourselves was to concentrate on reliability and adapt ourselves as well as possible to the car, rather than go looking for pure performance."

Acropolis is tough event. They'll need strong car if want to start the season (their) with reasonable points. Let's see.

Nothing shows better what they themselves actually think about the car than all those delays with development prolonged again for the Citroën twin.

Nope, already confirmed by Peugeot Sport Dealer Team DK this Monday that will not get the car delivered in time.
They state that the plan now is to do a 'minirally' (short rally, 50 km SS maximum) on the 12th of April - provided they get their car by then.
My dad spoke to his codriver at an official test day on Saturday, he said they didn't really know anything, so they can only prepare for when the car eventually arrives.
