Citroen car parts will continue being used for the FIA World Rally Championship.

The manufacturer said it plans to enter the competition for the next two years, having won five drivers’ titles and 58 victories overall.

Olivier Quesnel is director of Citroen Racing and said it was crucial the group keeps expressing itself via the sport.

"The FIA World Rally Championship, where the costs remain contained, is an excellent promotional vehicle for the company," he added.

Meanwhile, Citroen car parts were in the news earlier this month when it was revealed that each C5 model will come equipped with a colour satellite navigation system as standard.

The VTR+ model is apparently the most popular in the range and has been renamed the VTR+ NAV. The gadget inside has a seven-inch screen, Bluetooth connectivity and live traffic updates with Trafficmaster.

Basic recommended retail price for the 1.8i 16V 127 hp version is £15,547.83, Citroen said.
