I heard that Fiesta was crap...
Why isnt Citroën attending?
I believe they have full focus on the 2017 car. They only do selected events this year. Not sure what events they are doing for the rest of the year.Quote:

its just a shakedown and it took whole day for Ostberg to get there. We will see tomorrow who is fast and not.
Whatever.Quote:

Car 2 has a big advantage if they run it only once.
So far the average speeds have been a bit too low even for SSS...
Local website confirms no live TV coverage of the Ittiri SSS. :(
Mikkelsen on SD cut the corner a bit too close...

225euro for 9.2 kph on SS10,
500euro for 10.1 kph on SS12
&
1,000euro for 9.9kph on SS3
That's quite strict. We've had a looooot worse infrigements from WRC drivers...

Today morning we are expecting nice weather, little bit clouds and temperatures around +25 for morning loop, so, not too hot yet.
However, it is expected that first two stages might be held in compplete calm conditons. It should not be too bad for the first stage (stage 2) as it is held in very open landscape. However, stage 3 is in forrest and it should be calm again. Lets see if the wind picks up by the right time or not. Wind should be Ok for stages 4 and 5 again.
Here we go, let's have a good rally.
Onboard with Ogier on shakedown:
