According to an article in the automotive magazine and TTA media partner "Teknikens Värld", the press release was just to clarify that it's not some kind of works effort. Tobias Johansson at brovalen says that about 20 Citroen delaers are in this project so far. Citroen Sweden/Citroen Sport will not take any legal actions since it's "up to every Citroen to do what they want with the car they've just bought".

But is it the same if you construct something on your own and not based on something you bought from Citroen?

Further on, the article says that it's up to the dealers themselves to do what they want since they are independent. Citroen says they have nothing against Brovallen, TTA or racing and if they win it's fun anyway.

I wonder why they wrote so aggressively in the press release?
TTA Media partner. It is very strange indeed, and it is too bad there's no real respectable motorsport reporters around to clarify. We'll see what the next few days bring. The press release quotes the MD not souding all too chuffed so you wouldn't think the air is cleared just yet.
