From the first stages, we started on a big pace, attacking the maximum. I was really comfortable with the C3 R5 and we could fully let go! In the evening, we enter the second place of the WRC2 and the tenth place overall after signing all of our times in the top 4 of the WRC2. On the team's turn to realize its performance at the last assistance by replacing the collector in record time.
The next day, the idea was to roll on the same pace to maintain pressure on the leader and we all knew that there would be multiple twists on this very long stage. But at no time did we expect to run out of fuel in the middle of a special stage ... It took us some time to believe it. Today, we do not yet know the reason and we will analyze everything so that it does not happen again.
We have not been rewarded for our attack on this race but we have to accept it. We had a good opportunity to take the lead in the World Championship, something that does not happen often in a career. It will soon have to move on, retaining the level of performance shown this weekend against the drivers and factory cars. And think about our next term, the Lyon Charbo in the French Championship. "

Meeke and Marshall heaviest crew... almost 30kg heavier than Daniel Sordo and Del Barrio... I think a wheel and tyre is 20kg or so??!! That's bound to have an effect on performance?Quote:

IIRC Seb Marshall is quite tall, but he's very slim. I don't think Meeke is particularly short though himself. I'm surprised there's that much difference though!

👍..
yeah, they were thinking that it was mistake by Total refueling crew, who refueled less than they asked for. Stewards Decision #5 from Corsica is about it, with some more details.Quote:
