I hated the look a lot, but is is growing on me. I hope it goes better than it looks.

I agree with SFDMALEX, this years look much much better.

this is the best car ford has put out in years, look amazing, to bad they aren't making a street version.... or are they :wink: :P

Loeb sure looks stressed out recently, like at the Race of Champions he had to force smiles, and now in these pics it seems more of the same.

I guess I haven't followed the latest WRC news, but is this car going to compete in 2006 or are Citroen still taking a break from rallying?

Very great Citroen C4 WRC gallery, those videos are cool too ! 8)

Thanks for these stuffs Ronin. :D

Great stuff :D

What's wrong with the exhaust? Just a tiny exist going like would a diesel :? I hope they will change it before the car starts racing (I know, they have time :wink: )

the car really looks very cool, thanks for pics and vids :D

Ok, it's for sure a little messy, but always like this when you merge several topics :bah:

Mitubishi also cancelled their WRC programme for 2006 and 2007. Mitsubishi driver Galli hopes to secure the Mitsubishi test car to start the 2006 season in a private structure. This car was adapted to the new 2006 rules.

The FIA wanted to attract more car manufacturers with their cost saving 2006 rules, It can be concluded it did not the opposing...

He is also linked to a third Kronos Xsara and the ORECA Xsara. Since his personal sponsor is Red Bull I think he will be one of the Red Bull Skoda drivers.

Dani Sordo will drive the third Kronos Citroen in the Monte Carlo Rally. I.M.O This is the sign that Duval will drive for Red Bull Skoda, like already presumed before in this topic.

@ Ronin thanx for those testing movies I really did enjoy them. I really start to like the Focus WRC 06, it looks much better when it is trown around corners.

Panizzi and Eckstrom will drive the second Red Bull Skoda. The first car will be driven by the unknown Andreas Aiger. Panizzi drives the car in the Monte and Eckstrom in the rally of Sweden. This makes an end to the speculations about Duval taking the second Red Bull seat.
