That really looks good for a Peugeot v's Citroen title fight.
Aren't they owned by the same company? |

I must say Ford's line up looks very weak. I'm sure they're very promising, but they don't have any experienced drivers. Suppose that's what it's like to be in the red big time! It may be better for them in the long term, but they'll be nowhere next season, especially with 3 Pugs and 3 Citroens being on every round next year.
GTV = Peugeot and Citroen are part of the PSA group - they're related somehow I think. |

Roman Kresta will contest five rounds of the next year's WRC in a Peugeot 206 WRC, run by French outfit Bozian Racing, Gilles Panizzi and Harri Rovanpera on their non-works rounds.
This seems to indicate an end to the relationship with Skoda, who reportedly might run Kenneth Eriksson in a third Octavia on selected events |

Another update. According to www.worldrallynews.com Philippe Bugalski is likely to contest four World Championship rallies for Citroen in 2003, but in a semi-works car run by Citroen’s Spanish satellite Piedrafita Sport. Citroen hasn’t made an offer to its other driver, Jesus Puras.
So that's about everyone accounted for then? |

Its plain to see Peugeot didnt sign these guys for their looks! Panizzi seems to be a midget, Burns looks like skeletor and Gronholm reminds me of a lanky uncle fester or Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. Harri looks like he needs to pee...
