In the WRC 2 category, Stéphane Lefebvre set the fastest time in the DS 3 R5, whilst Simone Tempestini, Quentin Gilbert and Terry Folb formed the top three in the FIA Junior WRC, all in DS 3 R3s.
Sébastien Loeb: “I got the feeling back. It’s a little bit different, as I haven’t driven on roads like these for a long time. I’m really happy to be here and to see everyone from the rallying world again. Monte-Carlo is a home event for Daniel and the stages are in France. We’re here to enjoy ourselves. It’s difficult to tell what will happen once the rally gets underway; it’ll all depend on the conditions!”
Kris Meeke: “Traditionally, everyone wants a Monte-Carlo with ice, snow and rain… but it’s really tough for the drivers! There are hazards everywhere because of the weather. There’s a long way to go until we reach the Col de Turini and Monaco. We did some very good test runs and I feel good in the DS 3 WRC. You can never be confident before the start of a Monte-Carlo, but I feel relaxed.”
Mads Østberg: “The set-up was perfect. The shakedown went very well. I just needed to get used to the DS 3 WRC again and to these very specific conditions. The roads were very slippery. We took advantage of the conditions to test different types of tyres. I can’t wait for tomorrow!”

Tänak said that they were trying different tires and settings and collected information how different tires would work.
Real winter wonderland close to Ss1 and 2:

Snowfall is going to end soon, there will be nice weather tomorrow and a lot of snow is going to melt, however, temperature drops below zero before the stages go live. So, we have probably a lot of snow on the higher elevations and ice on lower elevations and some normal tarmac as well. Looks pretty tricky combination.

If I remember Kielder was asking about the road closure info , I just checked again and the info is in the Rally Guide 2 appendix this year
Hi, thanks for your help, but those times aren't real. A few hours ago I've found them at Sospel's web. The road will be closed from 16h30 on Saturday (the document says from Sospel, but I believe it will be the same from La Bollene-Vesubie). So I'll have to reach the Col from St Roche-Peira Cava.
Here's all the info:
