Citroen’s WRC exit will affect Meeke and Breen

Paying tribute to Citroen Racing for its “passion and commitment”, a statement from Citroen CEO Linda Jackson said.

It's been a turbulent month within the World Rally Championship with the cancellation of Rally Australia and now the confirmation that French manufacturer Citroen has withdrawn from the series with immediate effect.

That announcement came on Wednesday when they severed a two year-commitment with its C3 World Rally Car that was set to run until the end of 2020.
