I think these videos are made by Citroen. They can be found on Citroen racing’s web page.

Forecast says, light rain till Saturday (inclusive)..... As of now many places are muddy...

Are we expecting the winner of the QS to pick first on the road then I assume?

It will be a tricky desicion........ :) lets see. In other hand, the fog it will be a main actor there.... since i.e. SS2 (La Pampa - La Pampa) starts 7:28 am and I can bet will by a foggy SS

If so it will be quite ironic. . . the QS was meant to help the top drivers not be disadvantaged by starting first on the road, however in the last 2 rallies it seems first on the road is the place to be!
