Or very thin layer of snow and only on the top of the hills. And on Sunday snow and ice will melt slowly again because of high temperatures.
    It seems to rain quite a lot, so there could be very snowy at high places like stage 10/12 on Saturday: https://www.yr.no/sted/Frankrike/Pro...idsvarsel.html

    On Friday it may be mostly water indeed, but let's hope some unpredictability and maybe some snow at higher places.

    Yup, this SS could be snowy, but at the end of the SS10/12 is town La Batie-Neuve (906m high) and the predicted temperature is 6°C for Saturday.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Aaaaaand here we go!

    #WRC season 2018 has officially started. First loop of recce in Turini this morning, totally dry apart from a few icy/wet patches. But we're expecting 4 km of ice after the Col de Fontbelle. Sounds like fun

But I am not sure if my view is same as view of promoter. And what I have seen in last years, they are doing lot of things which are against rally-fan spectator. So I am afraid that it will not be working so perfectly like we all are dreaming here. But I will be really happy if this product will be reliable and working.
    What I hated most last year was messing live feed with studio useless talk. Gaps were made to 4 minutes just to be filled with that crap. Cut this and all the waiting for driver to remove his helmet at the end of the stage and you get 2 minutes action from every crew. Thus the high rhythm remains constant for the spectator and he watches all the show instead of doing something else around.

    Or bring interviews in the corner and next car action on big screen. Still better to look two things at the same time than one not important that much.
