Citroen are tipped to return to the Dakar Rally and its first rally raid program for 15 years.

Citroen ended its cross Country assault at the end of 1997, but it is rumored that the Versailles firm is working on a desert racer that could be ready to run in two years. This has heightened speculation that Citroen could leave the WRC at the end of Sebastien Loeb’s current contract in 2013 to focus on raid-type events.
