Of Course Citroën Made Celebratory Berets For Their Touring Car Win
Of Course Citroën Made Celebratory Berets For Their Touring Car Win-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:49

Citroën didn't expect to win the World Touring Car Championship manufacturer's title in its first year of participation, but they did. So, they made a nice little season wrap-up video...and berets. Celebratory berets. Vive le Citroën!

Citroën has eight World Rally Championship and five Cross Country Rally World Cups under their belts, so they're by no means new to racing. They're just new to being on a racetrack. Where most teams need a development year or two to get up to speed, Citroën just came in this year and smashed it in WTCC.

The Citroën C-Elysée WTCC cars had an astounding one-two-three-four finish in Race One at Shanghai, including a win for driver José María López that placed him one step closer to a driver's championship. Race Two for the Citroën team, but Race One was enough to solidify Citroën's win.

So, out came the celebratory berets. I wish had a celebratory hat of my people. I suppose I could always move out of state and then visit Texas as an out-of-towner so it becomes socially acceptable to wear a cowboy hat.

Congratulations, Citroën!
