    Looking at Basso's times on Mille Miglia, Sordo should be able to be competitive on Corsica.

    Very twisty roads. Most oft he time they are on 3rd-4th gear. A lot of hairpins as well. But what plays the major role now is that it's raining. Basso is on Pirelli plus the 1.6T has better traction. If it gets dry and warmer he will sure start to loose. Let's see...

    Both of them. Some narrow tricky mountain paths like in Monaco/Corsica good for turbo engine, and some flatout roads like in northern Europe valleys good for high rev atmosferic engine. Here if no tyre mistakes, it all depends on the driver. Basso is one idea better than the other italians. Hanninen is way better than him but is there for first time.

    Not on these types of roads.

    Roads might be new to Juho but car is new to Basso.

    Not completely right about weather: for most of the first loop of stages there was no rain. Anyway roads are mostly damp and wet but changing from corner to corner.
    Let's see what will happen, interesting race 'til now!
