Irish drivers Kris Meeke and Craig Breen eager to impress in Rally GB
For Ulsterman Meeke and his Killarney co-driver Paul Nagle, it will also be a case of ensuring that Citroen secure the runner-up position in the manufacturers’ category behind runaway winners Volkswagen.
It could well be that Citroen already know the shape of their 2016 team, but of course it will not be public knowledge, at least until Sunday evening at the very earliest. Meeke was linked to Hyundai in recent weeks but his ability as a test driver and the fact that he was the only driver to break the dominance of the VW trio of Sebastien Ogier, Jari Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen will stand him in good stead with the French outfit.
