12th October 2007
French car manufacturer Citroen has committed itself to competing in the FIA World Rally Championship until at least 2009.
Citroen managing director Gilles Michel the Italian Autosprint magazine, "We are a dynamic company and our presence in the WRC fits perfectly with our image.
We'll be here in 2008 and also in 2009, with the objective of winning both the constructors' and the drivers' titles."
Michel also said that Citroen's future participation in the WRC beyond 2009 would depend on the level of competition in the championship and its coverage on television adding, "The TV coverage is still insufficient and with time this will become a problem."
