Citroen To Quit World Rally Championship Or World Touring Car Championship In '17

7.6.2015

French car firm Citroen will "withdraw from either the World Rally Championship or World Touring Car Championship" in '17, according to David Evans of AUTOSPORT. Citroen has "won 17 driver and manufacturer titles since entering the WRC" in '00, has "dominated the WTCC for the last 18 months, and will continue in both championships" until the end of '16. Citroen CEO Linda Jackson "insists no decision has been taken yet about which will continue beyond that." Jackson: "I can safely say to you that we are reviewing the decisions and for 2017 nothing has been decided. But, we have made the decision that Citroen will only be officially involved in one discipline for 2017" (AUTOSPORT, 7/2).
