Everyone loses if Citroen's WRC pullout goes ahead

Citroen looks likely to quit the World Rally Championship - a series it dominated for years - with immediate effect. It's a sad end to a poor era for this once-great team, and a massive blow to the series

At the height of its power, Citroen ruled the World Rally Championship and expanded its sporting empire at ease. As an analogy, calling it rallying's latter-day Napoleon isn't a bad one.

Like the Corsican-born ruler, Citroen's dominance lasted a decade.

But it's gone now. Three wins this year. Six in three years for the C3 WRC. That's not what Versailles signed up for on its WRC return in 2017.
