WRC BOOSTED BY CITROEN RETURN

French constructors Citroen have confirmed their intention to return to the World Rally Championship in 2007.

It follows the announcement of cost-cutting measures by the sport's world ruling body, the FIA.

Citroen - heading for a third straight constructors title this year - and Peugeot, will not compete in the 2006 championship for financial reasons.

Both teams were awaiting measures to be taken by the FIA to cut costs before announcing a return to competition.

Citroen, who are owned by the same company as Peugeot, PSA, will return to racing without Peugeot in 2007.
