Like Corsica 2015 and Alsace in last years

"Our first objective will be to finish the rally, but if we have a good feeling with the car, of course we will see what is possible to do. In the end, all this is totally new to us. We know that this is the best level to rally in the world. We just need to drive up to see where we are, and build on these foundations."

Not surprising Camilli just wants to reach the finish in his WRC debut - http://www.autohebdo.fr/rallye/wrc/a...r-eric-camilli

Well, it's not a coincidence that Loeb has won it 7 times, Mäkkinen 4 times and Ogier twice. It's not all about luck, since it's actually dominated by the multible and very FAST world champions.

Ogier's first victory was a classic example of winning by luck or a bad luck of others. He wasn't fastest at all. Actually he won only one stage. He even had two offs but others had even more problems.

He was 1:32 down to Hänninen when he had puncture. Third day started with an overnight snowstorm. First drivers were making a way through a deep snow for others and some crashed (I was on that stage). Accidentally it was a stage where Ogier was born and he won it. He got to first place. In the rest of the rally he was able to keep the position despite Sarrazin being another 1,5 minutes faster in the rest of the event (Sarrazin lost 4 minutes with an off on another place where we were).

No snow up there of note and he gives a bit of a weather forecast.
