According to BBC Sport Online Citroen will return the World Rally Championship in 2007 with a full works effort, next year Seb Loeb will drive a private car. More at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ly/4380086.stm
I for one am not suprised at this news. |

That rumour has been around for a while now hasn't it? Good news though as the WRC really does need plenty of top line cars. I'd imagine Loeb will still be competitive in a private Xsara next year so he'll be more than happy to wait for the new car to appear.

Why did they decide to leave and then do a backflip and decide to come back ?

Think the main reason to be honest is that Peugeot and Citroen were competing for the same prize and are in effect the same company, they share a hell of a lot of components on the road cars and it seems senseless to be competing against each other.
There is no way they would have built the prototype C4 unless they were gonna rally it either. Peugeot are off to try and win Le Mans I think, so the situation has resolved itself quite nicely. My only issue is why now! And why the fairly obvious false reasons! They have been competing against each other for the last three years! Only bad point is that Loeb will just keep on winning, I havent anything against the guy but he is more dominant now that Marcus ever was and maybe even more than Miki in teh Lancia days, at least then you had a bit of a battle on asphalt! think Seb will still win next year even in a private car, its not like Citroen are not gonna develop the thing |
