The ‘costume’ of a pilot has been placed the Boss of Citroën Racing in the Rallye du Condroz has served for Yves Matton leave some impressions on the athletic future of the French manufacturer.
in a recent interview In a half-belgian, Yves Matton has dropped that Citroën will continue in the WRC, thus maintaining their official programme in the World Rally. A decision that would be consistent with recent rumors which claimed that Citroen would only have a presence in the WTCC (in private, presumably Sébastien Loeb Racing. Although there will be wait until mid-December to hear the final decision, in case of being favourable to the WRC, Yves Matton points to the possibility of using a vehicle B-segment, or what is the same, use the Citroën C3.

Rumors have pointed to options of all kinds, but during the interview with Yves Matton has become to slip in that could keep Kris Meeke between the official drivers of the French brand, along with Stéphane Lefebvre, a young promise of the team and with Khalid Al-Qassimi, patron of the main sponsor.
