The Citroën C3 WRC is a rally vehicle engineered by the Citroën World Rally Team specifically for competition in the World Rally Championship. It serves as the successor to the acclaimed Citroën DS3 WRC and is derived from the production model Citroën C3. The C3 WRC made its first appearance during the 2017 season, piloted by Craig Breen, Stéphane Lefebvre, and Kris Meeke, with Khalid Al Qassimi joining for select rallies.
Development history
Following the conclusion of the 2015 season, Citroën declared its exit from full-time entries to concentrate efforts on the creation of the C3 WRC. Throughout the 2016 season, the team took part in a limited number of events, employing the DS3 WRC as a development testbed for new parts. Further refinement was supported by components tested on the Citroën C-Elysée WTCC, Citroën’s contender in the World Touring Car Championship. The introduction of the C3 WRC coincided with major technical regulation shifts in the 2017 season.
