A partial WRC programme for Loeb and a full season for Hirvonen and a second undisclosed driver.

The PR mentions that Citroen is looking at WTCC:
Quote:
In addition to a partial WRC season in 2013, Citroën and Sébastien Loeb continue to consider how they will work together in the future. Always on the lookout for new challenges, the Brand and its emblematic driver are weighing up the possibility of entering the FIA World Touring Car Championship (FIA WTCC) in 2014/2015. “The role of brand ambassador for Citroën cannot be a passive one for someone as driven as Sébastien. This project would give him the opportunity to pursue his career in track racing with the support of the manufacturer with which he has worked since his competitive debut. For Citroën, the WTCC would enable us to showcase Créative Technologie in major markets, such as China and Brazil,” explained Yves Matton. “The final decision regarding this programme is linked to the changes in the FIA regulations and, obviously, the determination of our current and future partners to support us in this project.”
That announcement sort of rules out Citroen getting involved with LMP cars.
