Sounds interesting. This is what Peugeot will be doing after next year, instead of the WRC. Costs are supposed to be substatially less then running a full WRC program. The rumors are that if the cost is significantly less, PSA will funnel the extra money into keeping Citroen in the WRC past 2005.

I wonder if Speed will be showing this.
