Citroen Racing announced its line-up for the 2014 World Rally Championship. Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle and Mads Østberg/Jonas Andersson will be the Citroen Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team's driver/co-driver pairings in the DS3 WRC cars next season.

Kris Meeke came through the ranks of Citroen Racing's promotional formulas, before driving a C2 Super 1600 for the brand in the Junior WRC.

In 2014, he is awarded a full programme, as he becomes the first British driver to race a full season since Colin McRae's 2003 swansong with Citroen.

Twenty-six-year-old Mads Østberg has already taken part in 65 WRC rallies and won the Norwegian Championship four times. With seven podium finishes to his name at world level, he notched up his first WRC victory at the Rally of Portugal in 2012.

Like last year, Khalid Al Qassimi will take part in a selection of World Championship rallies. The driver from Abu Dhabi will line up for the races in Sweden, Portugal, Italy and Spain and will concentrate on taking part in the entire Middle East rally Championship.

Citroen Racing will unveil its entire rally and track racing programme for 2014 Monday December 16 during a press conference in Versailles.
