I dont remember a place like this at Sisteron. Except there is another route this year as in past.

They dont go through Clue d`Aiglun this year?

It's probably road section again.

you all mention that he crashed all the time and yet another driver with half Petters years in the WRC and maybe double the crashes has a factory seat and is tipped to be the world champ just because Malcolm Wilson always spoke highly of him.

Petter should have A FACTORY DRIVE THIS YEAR! period

Also the split problems made the Rally more interesting, one good side of this :)

The quantity of studded tyres left is the point:

Jost Capito: “From the first day we’ve asked them to conserve their studded tyres on the asphalt sections – if you look at the split times you’ll see that they were pretty slow, so they did exactly what we asked them to do. I won’t tell you exactly what we have left, but I think that we are in an acceptable, if not ideal position for tomorrow,”

Yves Matton: “The number of new studded tyres we have depends on the drivers; some have four, some less and some more. It’s not the optimum, because for sure we don’t have enough to do all the stages with new tyres, but the second hand ones we have seem to be in good condition. If we manage well we can achieve our goal.”

Christian Loriaux: “We don’t have too many but I think everybody here is in the same boat. Okay, we’re getting a bit short but fortunately we’re allowed to re-use and we have a fair few that are undamaged. Like everybody we will not have all new tyres but we will have reasonably decent ones with studs so I think the fight will be fair.”

it should be in s2000 regulations. no time to digg at the moment but somehow it should be partly production engine.

Look last year Sardinia and some other hard gravel rally - it could be different.
