Citroen Racing unveils its WRC driver lineup for 2018

Contesting the full season next year, Kris Meeke will spearhead the Citroen Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team, whilst Craig Breen will drive the second Citroen C3 WRC at 10 rounds of the championship and Khalid Al Qassimi will appear in a third car at a handful of rallies.

Sebastien Loeb will be making a much-anticipated return to the WRC with the brand in Mexico, Corsica and Catalonia. Meanwhile, Stephane Lefebvre will be tasked with driving the Citroen C3 R5 on its debut season in the WRC2.

Yves Matton, Citroen Racing Team Principal, said, "For 2018, we have decided to capitalise on what we've been building for a number of seasons now with Kris and Craig. Kris' speed is unquestionable, and with the more relaxed mindset he had at the end of the year, he proved he had it in him to be a leader. The aim will be to target podiums, secure some wins, but Kris can also go for position in the championship."
