Hi all- Sorry if I'm coming late to this news, but why is Peugeot leaving the WRC? I read there will be some private teams entered next year, but why is the company pulling out? Thanks, Ron >> Stay informed about: Peugeot leaving WRC?

Ah, LeManns. I guess they don't have the resources to do both? As I
understand it, LeManns is a single race (albiet a long one!) and uses a
totally different type of car.

I'm a relative noob to WRC and only watched the last 1/2 of this season. I love it. Thank you tivo. Why does WRC have such difficulty getting manufacturers to stay on. Is it because some of the major brands (Mitsu, Peugot, Ford, Skoda) are having financial difficulty? Is it because the viewership is not great enough to justify the spending for the various brands? >> Stay informed about: Peugeot leaving WRC?

My guess, to get to the top and get the publicity, they needed to spend a lot of money and is why they were so competitive. To keep this type of spending up is not practical. Therefore, it will have phases. It's not just rallying.

It's not just providing a few cars and be done with it. You need technicians, designers, testers, and much more, not to mention a ton of spare parts (and these ain't off-the-shelf!) WRC places tremendous stress on the vehicles and all the personnel involved. A factory team gets priority access to resources that a privateer team simply do NOT have access to, and that costs $$$. There are a LOT of events in Europe that a manufacturer could spend their money on, and still get their money's worth in exposure. >> Stay informed about: Peugeot leaving WRC?
