New WRC Liveries
It appears Carlos Sainz is about to to sign up for a Citroen drive next year. Thanks to sponsor Telefonica paying for Citroen to run a third car. This means there will be a new Citroen Livery next year! They might even be blue and yellow
 I have a (very) long term plan to build one of each of the cars Carlos Sainz has rallied in his long career. For a moment there it looked like the last car in this series would be the Focus. Now there will be one more  Apparently Telefonica's deal is for three years, wonder if Carlos will be around that long.Unfortunately it has been reported that Louis Moya will not be co-driving with "El Mattador". A shame to break up what must be one of, if not the longest running partnerships in rallying history. Also the new Marlboro liveried Peugeot is scheduled to be unveiled on Friday. :flash: Something to keep the decal manufacuters busy!

That's good news to me! I would love to see 'El Matador' in my favourite rally team
A shame though that most probably they will kiss the wonderfull red livery good-bye. But then again with the Pug's in Marlboro red there could have been difficulties in recognition from a distance. Oh well, maybe they come up with something equally cool!Ales: I think we'll have to wait till they actually win the WRC crown before we get a decent kit of the Xsara, but we've talked about this here before I think. Cheers, Guido

Well, it's not like Lancer WRC set the world alight this season ... So one can hope.

Guido,
I don't get that, you would struggle to tell the Peugeot 206 and Citroen Xsara apart? Just asking because I think they are so different, but I would LOVE to see a kit of the Xsara, I like the car but not the drivers(unless Carlos signs there and I will like 1) Ray

I guess It's down to what sells best in Japan and US. Citroen is not so well known as a carmaker overthere I guess. They're very popular in France, Belgium, Spain and Netherlands and a bit less but still very well known in the rest of Europe, so that's probably why, but when Carlos becomes World Champion again in the Xsara they won't have a choice anymore.

I will be championing Citreon next year for sure! Ever since Juha Kankkunen - who's been my fave for years - stopped fully competing, i've started to support Sebastian Loeb. He's proved to be damn quick on tarmac so we'll see what he can do on the rough stuff next year.

Shoot me, but I don't like it.....that will sure take some getting used to!
The new(now old) style Impreza was one degree of shock to the poor system, but the new Pug livery is beyond a shock, it is a heart attack!!! I think if Tamiya release this one, I will give it a miss..... Ray

OMFG!
They can't be serious  So many cool things they could have created and the chumps come up with this abomination of a paint job  Of all the liveries that have graced the 206 this is by far the worst! Even the most cash strapped privateer has so far managed to come up with something a million times more attractive than this. I dearly hope this is just a 'test' paintjob, not what the car will look like on the stages.   I feel like I need to :apuke: Last edited by RallyRaider; 12-13-2002 at 09:38 AM.

The more I look at it, the more I think it looks like a 206 in Lancer's clothing.....literally like they took the same paint scheme and transposed it directly from one car to the other....
