Citroen scoops WRC2 title

Citroen Racing secured the WRC2 title last weekend as Mads Østberg and Torstein Eriksen wrapped up their fourth category win of the year at a treacherous ACI Rally Monza to become world champions in the C3 R5.

Unprecedented snow in the foothills of the Alps and torrential rain added another dimension to the final round of the WRC which was held at the legendary "Cathedral of Speed" - Monza Race Circuit.

Mads Østberg, WRC2 world champion with the C3 R5

“What an unbelievable feeling! I am really happy, especially as it was such a difficult weekend, with so many ups and downs all through the year. We were very much the underdogs in the championship but we won through persistence and thanks to the excellent development work done on the C3 R5. The whole team, both at Citroën Racing and PH Sport, did an amazing job throughout the season to get to where we are now!”
