Citroën's departure from the WRC on the front page of AUTOhebdo n°2244

Available this evening in digital version, and from this Wednesday on newsstands, n°2244 of AUTOhebdo returns in particular to the announcement which acted as a hammer blow last week.

As the brand indicated in a brief press release, following the departure of its pilot Sébastien Ogier, Citroën Racing formalized the end of its program WRC avec effet immédiat, laissant le peloton du Championnat du Monde seulement représenté par Hyundai, Toyota et M-Sport Ford.

What causes? What consequences with, according to our information, the very probable announcement of Ogier at Toyota this Wednesday? We decipher this sudden decision from the French manufacturer, one of the most successful in the discipline alongside Lancia and Ford.
