But one thing that's important to notice is that Citroën wanted to enter WTCC because of the global exposure to the right markets. For PSA it's still an issue that WRC is so focused on low growth (or even recession) countries in Europe. Only 3 rallies are outside Europe where Australis is one of them ... but it has no relevance to PSA. Mexico is good for PSA but Argentina isn't. The country has been in recession for 15 years or so because the two corrupt Kirchner idiots have ruined any chance of growth. Instead they steal foreign companies and make them goverend by the state (ref. to Repsol).
It's quite insane that WRC doesn't have a single round in Asia IMO. That might prevent Peugeot from entering...

PS: Please also notice that according to very reliable sources then both KIA and Alfa Romeo will join WTCC next year. That will give the series 6 manufacturers...
Citroen chose to enter WTCC to keep hold of Loeb, and it was the only form of circuit racing they could realistically enter with their cars.

Argentina is a massive market for both Citroen and Peugeot. It's a big 'tick' on the WRC for them.

OH, and WTCC only has 3 manufacturers in it at the moment - Lada, Honda and now Citroen.

Chevy and Seat are privately run operations, and i don't think BMW even has a new generation car available....
