Testing rules regarding the country's that WRC teams can test are all agreed. Portugal is not one of them. I guess Kronos as a private team wanted to test and I am sure that Citroen would have shared that data. I can understand why SWRT wanted to stop the test, 1 team tests and they all have to with the increase in expenditure.

Well, I think it's more about the fact that OWRT is on 17 pts in the ranking and Subaru on 19 pts. Citroen has far more points and I think Subaru has given up that fight long time ago. It's a bit funny that a works team like Subaru has to worry about "small" teams like OWRT. It's not about the general fact that they want no testing and probably not the drivers championship either, since Mitsu has been doing tests there recently. Funny!

Rules are rules for all teams I think.

Mitsubishi tested this week but is not a MT team.

I think so too and I know that Mitsu is not an MT team. However, what I mean is that OWRT as a MT team should be so far from a full manufacturers team as Subaru that Subaru didn't have to bother at all about this. The fact that they have to bother should be a bit embarassing to them... :)

frankly its strange, even I am 200% with Subaru, this situation is strange, from what the SWRT is aware, after all its a privateer team, even if with a factory support from Citroen sport
