Funny you should mention that, there was a rumors floating around last week saying just that. Then Peugeot/Citroen came out with a statement denying it.2jayzgte wrote:I reckon Citroen will be next they have always had F1 ambition and now Honda have there F1 team for sale it could be good by for them as well out of WRC personally
I'd keep an eye on Prodrive in regards to the purchase of Honda F1.
Personally I love WRC just the way they are but if there's only going to be two manufacturers next year then there is obviously need for some change to keep the sport alive. I'd rather see Lobe & Hirvonen & Co. battling it out in S2000+ cars than nothing at all.
Also I think Toyota have still got there sights firmly/stubbornly set on a F1 win so I don't think we'll see them back in WRC anytime soon.

Agreed, or a group N setup, putting them on a level playing field with the other drivers, Would be interesting to see Loeb against Mason in group N cars in the rally Nz in 2010

Hmmm looks slightly better. I shouldn't really have said 'ugly' hatches because i don't mind em either it's just those dam tail lights. More comparing them to the older models which look far better IMO.

The sedans have always looked better than the hatches if you ask me.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

except for the new impreza IMO! The hatch looks great in the STI trim.
I think the evo X Will look better as a hatch too!
