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?

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.

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.

Matthew Wilson will drive the first Stobard Focus.

Duval will drive the Monte in a Skoda Fabia WRC runned by the Belgian First Motorsport. Gigi Galli will run a Lancer WRC 05 privately. Gardemeister will drive another Peugeot 307 WRC runned by the Italian Astra Racing.

I.M.O this year will be a great WRC year, which lots of competative WRC teams even with only two works teams

Do you think that this car is still the one to beat?? Let's see what Xevi Pons can do as Loeb's teammate!!

... and thanks for the videos insane as well!!
