What a missed opportunity for Citroën as a brand... There has never been a 4WD, turbocharged Xsara on sale for the public to enjoy. It's not like the French manufacturers didn't have the experience to build such a car at this point in time -- heck, they've been the best at it in rallying for 5 years and the French hot hatchbacks have built a (deserved) reputation (of excellence) for themselves for an even longer time. And look at the offering from the French manufacturers since that time. Pathetic is an understatement.
I can't understand this either. The Xsara back then had massive pedigree as a kit car before it's WRC version and they never made a push with it. The same with the C4.
Problem was that the WRC rules didn't require them to make a road going version of the rally car like in Group A. They just had to use a "road car" as a basis for the rally car. It was simply the rules and cost control that made it simpler for manufacturers to compete in WRC. Cheaper for them to simply make 3-5 rally cars rather than make hundereds of road going versions.
Sebastian Loeb Citroen wins in Germany since classic WRC season 2002 debut win and full time season from 2003 to 2008 and returned back to 2010 and 2012 win as 9 times winner in Germany Rally Deutschland except 2011 Germany finished 2nd due to errors and victory is handed over to Sebastian Ogier in 2011 Rally Deutschland... Sebastian Loeb Germany Citroen Xsara wins in 2002-2006, Citroen C4 in 2007-2008 and 2010 and Citroen DS3 in 2012 as 9 times win
Hang on, which drivers / teams were actually prohibited to run an active centre differential in 2006? The information mentioned here seems different from the one in the Monte Carlo highlight video.
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X logicaly it was not to reduce costs but to make a closer fight just like bop in wec, but this is what i remember and i could be completely wrong
@@yesexactly3120 You could absolutely be right. But I remember a comparison of a Skoda with and without an active differential in one of the 2006 highlight videos (Monte Carlo?).

17:31 Marcus explain what happens
@ 11:56 oh boy.
Thanks!
And this is why Loeb's challengers were unworthy of becoming champion.
Great..

I think the previous champion but im not sure

Thank you. However, I believe this was done to limit costs, i.e. it would make no sense to only limit Loeb or Citroen.

Manufacturer teams like Citroen Ford and Subaru
Loeb so young
