Citroen Racing confirmed that Jose Maria Lopez will drive the third C-Elysee in the 2014 WTCC alongside Yvan Muller and Sebastien Loeb.
This is no surprise as Lopez, from Argentina was the only driver known to have tested the C-Elysee during the last months. He will contest all rounds the WTCC in 2014 with Muller and Loeb.
Lopez only contested one WTCC meeting in his career, but it was enough to take victory in race 2 on his home soil, at circuit of Termas de Rio Hondos, Argentina, driving a BMW 320 TC.
Citroën also announced that a fourth C-Elysee will be entered in the last part of the season, for the races held in Asia, for a Chinese driver to be nominated.
The initial plan was to run Robert Kubica in selected rounds, but the Pole left Citroën to join Ford M-Sport in WRC next season.
