Hyundai preferes to use halogen light ramp instead of more and more popular LED lamps. Pity we don't have any specification to compare (like great graphs for R5 LED Lazer lamps).
In the photos of Yaris and C3 without rear wheels it's clearly visible that there is an air duct for cooling of rear brakes in Citroën while there is none visible in the Yaris (maybe not installed yet?).
Stage 3/6 even more snow:

Craig Breen: 'So I guess this will be a proper Monte then! Awesome conditions during the first two days of recce. Bone dry tarmac to -13 degrees and full snow!'
Is the parking for the shakedown on the main road parelell to the stage or can you access junctions as normal
I'm sorry if this question has been asked already, but will it be possible to see some footage from Monte on TV? If so - where? Is that true that there will be no live stages like last year?
3 live stages - SS1, SS12, SS17Quote:

Any fresh pictures from the shakedown stage? Anyone?
Stage is probably tarmac, but with some icy patches, as studded tyres have been allowed by COC Communication n°4 yesterday evening:Quote:

Report from yesterday: lots of ice patches between 1,5 and 3km.
We could see the crews testing the different tyre options to get a feel what they can expect this weekend.
Who cares if the guy is selling his political candidate or a brand new deodorant?!? These videos are great fun to watch and an easy way for fans around the world to get to know MC fantastic stages. It'd be great to have similar videos from other WRC events.Quote:

Real shame that he didn't get a drive this year, at least at Monte.
I do miss his flamboyant and flatout driving style

It has always been like this in Monte, I mean not after SS6, but before crossing TuriniQuote:

from French forum
For those who do not understand French well, here in detail, after our first full pass, on the 6 stages around GAP, the current situation.
Shakedown: many frozen parts of km.1.5 to km.3.
ES 2-13: totally dry except for many frozen traps on all bridge crossings between km.13,5 and 21,5.
ES 3-6: 95% full snow and ice!
Snow hard icy up to km.3.
Very good snow and downhill trap until St Disdier.
Rails of melting snow and ice between St Disdier and Les Gillardes.
Snow hard frozen until Ambel
Final less and less icy becoming dry.
ES 4-7: 90% full snow and very bright ice!
Col de Festreaux snow and ice.
Descent on St Firmin wet and icy.
Dry valley after St Firmin.
Return snow and ice from Le Séchier.
Frozen areas on D316 to Chauffayer.
D23 and D123 dry.
D23A and crossing of St Eusete hyper-frozen!
Des Infournas until last bifurcation descending to Chaillol, full snow and ice with gravel. Good snow at the last Pass!
Final totally dry.
ES 5-8: 60% full snow and ice!
Departure and crossing of St Léger verglacés tending fondant soup.
Road becomes dry until Ancelle.
At the end of the stations, return of the hard and groomed snow with gravelly ice to the slopes at the top of the Col.
Summit of Moissiere pass almost dry because swept by the wind but all the descent forest is mega snow groomed or rails until the end of the wood.
Final sec.
ES 9-11: 30% snow and ice!
Dry to Vitrolles.
Iceflakes with melting tendencies in Barcillonnette.
Return of snow and ice from Esparron.
Climb and descent of the Col de l'Espreaux full snow and ice.
Identical situation for the Col des Verniers then final dry for the Col de la Bachassette.
ES 10-12: D148 and D48 dry except the winding part uphill, between Le Sarret and Savournon composed of melting snow rails.
Descent of the Col de Faye well icy with tendency to improve towards the final dry.
Specials of the Turini and Entrevaux totally dry except the final wet after Ubraye, which can lead to formations of frost plates in the evening.
In short, you know everything!
Good choice in your places ...

Any information about what the conditions are like for ss1 as things stand?

Purely based on weather observations, I would tell that its should be mostly dry with a little snow on the side of the road in some sections. Tomorrow it will be 3-4 plus degrees around there and during the stage it should be between -3..-4 degrees, maybe slight chanche of patchy black iceQuote:

I am aware that shakedown has not started yet but I was still expecting the section to be there.
Am I correct in thinking that exact Ogier photo is the one that Col Clarke has posted on twitter? if not, it's very similar!
