But Neuville trailed Kris Meeke’s Citroën C3 and Ogier’s Ford Fiesta during the opening leg as he struggled with the i20’s set-up and Nandan admitted more work is needed to improve the i20’s performance.
“I think it needs to be a little bit better, I think we are a bit behind,” he said. “The Citroën has shown it’s a fantastic car on Tarmac and for sure we have to work on that, especially for the next Tarmac events. But I’m quite sure the engineers will find a good solution to improve the car.”

Ogier
It was definitely a roller coaster weekend. Up and down all the time. Luckily for us it finished on the high with really good points, better than I was hoping for. This morning was starting not so good, well for the first half of the long stage everything was fine. Obviously we had no chance to catch Thierry any more so we were just driving at a good pace but nothing extra. Suddenly mid-stage the car started to lose the boost and then it was a bit difficult, but mid stage it was still pretty fast with wide roads so I didn’t lose too much I think. But then when I took the narrow roads and found some hairpins I realised that this electronic problem we had was not only the boost, but also the central diff was locked and that means we had no handbrake for the hairpins so we struggled quite a lot. At the end of the stage we were behind Dani, but I was not really confident that it would work again for the last stage. The only thing we could do in this moment was change one of the ECU’s we had in the car, but the team was not really confident that would solve the problem. When we were resetting the car it was working a little bit but we never knew for how long. Luckily it worked for this last 10 kilometre Power Stage.

After an idyllic first day in Corsica, Kris Meeke led the insular test at the wheel of a Citroën C3 WRC which demonstrated all its potential on asphalt in the hands of the Briton.
If the chance had smiled in Meeke in Mexico with a road trip inconsequential in the last hectometers of the Power Stage before winning, success was not the rendezvous in Corsica, with a engine failure after the ES6.
"Before his retirement, Kris Meeke evolved in complete serenity, recalls Yves Matton, director of Citroen Racing. His confidence in the car was such that he dominated his subject. Obviously, the black spot is his abandonment because of a motor problem.
We know this was caused by a leak in the oil lubrication circuit. But we will have to wait until we have completely disassembled the car to determine the first cause of this concern. "
A comfortable car on all terrains
Despite this setback, Kris Meeke believes that Citroën Racing's work on the development of the C3 WRC is in the right direction, as demonstrated by recent performances in Mexico and last weekend in Corsica.
"It's obviously not the issue I was looking for, but it's part of the game," said the Briton. For a car to go as fast as possible, dozens of people who work on thousands of parts ... and sometimes this does not work as expected.
In any case, I leave this weekend with a huge confidence for the future. It was really special to lead this rally, which I consider the most difficult on asphalt. We know that our C3 WRC can win on all terrains and that's what we will try to do in Argentina, then in Portugal and everywhere else. "

Just nailed it perfect, the gap in WRX to the line is 10-12 cm in WRX at least. That could have been the 0.1 he got on Breen. You can easily loose 10 sec during a rally by being too slow on the lights, try setting a WR on Dirt Rally and you'Il figure out how important it is
