No it's much worse. In 2017 they had a theoretical chance for decent place in manus.
For 2018 with 2 "real" cars there just isn't any.
So the only hope in terms of championship is that Meeke will get consistent and the car will be competitive in slippery/changing conditions. Those two together are not exactly likely. Specially since the pressure will be on Meeke as much or even more than in 2017 (since his contract ends after 2018).
As for Loeb he is playing it extremely safe, entering the 2 rallies C3 won and 3rd one that it led before technical issues.

I hope they will end this agony and retire next year instead of keeping on surviving the championships rather than trying to win them.
I prefer less cars but decent involvement.

Well, no. The more the better. It`should be saveable with some changes on and in the car (and team)+ new cars again in 2020. Lets hope that they can score atleast enough wins and podiums to keep their name and cars running. But like i said, probably pulling the plug.

Disappointing but predictable from Citroen. Good job from a PR perspective though - as all the headlines are about Loeb's return, not the team downsizing.
On a personal note I'm happy Loeb is doing Corsica. Will be nice to see him, albeit it will probably swell the crowds quite a bit!RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Laughable that they don't even have the budget to run Loeb alongside Meeke and Breen on a measly 3events, so they have to drop Breen. This WRC return has been flawed the minute they started designing the C3, and it's been mostly bad decisions after bad decisions from the managemen since then.

Glad that Mikkelsen didn't go with this joke team. He would do probably 3 events or maybe 4 events...

Smacks of cost-cutting. I hope not. More €€ needed for R&D inc. testing. However, it could be money saved from running cars is being used to fund a brighter future. Hard to tell.
Poor Breen. Hope he can find funds for a PH or R5 ride on those missed rounds.
Clever from Loeb with event selection. Will be fascinating to see how he gets on, something to savour.

Good point from KiwiWRCFan
Citroen have set out clear driver plans for entire 2018 #WRC season which is a TOTAL CONTRAST to 2017 season when it was never clear who would be driving from one event to the next
This year they had 10 different driver/car lineups.

Turned out to be an interesting race. Glad I decided to watch it. Too bad Logan went out. At least it was from racing hard and not his own mistake.
