Citroen have revealed details of the three-car team that will compete in all 14 rounds of the 2003 World Rally Championship.

Another former world champion, Spaniard Carlos Sainz, has just been signed up to join Colin McRae and rising French superstar, Sebastien Loeb, in the powerful, four-wheel drive Citroen Xsara WRC cars.

News of the confirmed Citron line-up for 2003 follows the team's successful development year in 2002, which saw the Xsara WRC prove its credentials in eight rounds of the WRC, winning in Germany and coming second in Monte Carlo, driven on both occasions by 28-year-old Loeb.

McRae, who will be co-driven by Derek Ringer, is already the most successful driver in the history of the WRC, while Sainz, who will be partnered by experienced Xsara co-driver Marc Marti, is a two-times world champion.

Monte Carlo again opens the rally calendar in just over a month's time.

Citron have also announced that they will be attending the Autosport International Show for the first time.

Taking place at the Birmingham NEC from January 9 to 12, the show will give motorsport enthusiasts their first chance to see the 2003 Xsara WRC cars.
