Lähde: BBCRallying suffers double team blow
World champions Citroën and stablemates Peugeot will pull out of the World Rally Championship at the end of 2005.
The French manufacturers have blamed "tougher conditions in the car market" for the decision to withdraw.
A statement issued on Thursday said: "Peugeot and Citroën will remain strongly committed to the World Rally Championship in 2005.
"However, PSA Peugeot Citroën has decided that the marques will no longer take part in the WRC beyond that date."
The two teams have won five manufacturers' titles and three drivers' titles in the last five years.
Yllättävää mielestäni on se, että molemmat vetäytyvät. Peugeot'n vetäytymisestähän oli liikkunut joitain huhuja.
