Good point. I guess I assumed he pretty much disappeared after his ERC/IRC championships.

No shakedown for Delecour today?
No need?

The spectators with the pink smoke are so retarded... Good thing it wasn't thicker or there would have been a lot of accidents at that corner.

Autosport:
"Most of the crews ran the most suited, heavily treaded winter tyre - except for the Citroen drivers who set all their times on a soft-compound dry weather tyre.
The tyres used at shakedown form part of the crew's allocation for the event itself.

Citroen insiders were quick to point to the fact that, while the winter cover worked at shakedown, it's unlikely to suit the conditions during the event itself - but anybody who used it will have to include it in their package, precluding the use of potentially more suitable rubber."

Explain this someone, confusing me... :(

Limited tyres per event means using the heaviest winter tyre in shakedown means that you can take fewer soft/dry tyres on the rest of the event, so you have fewer options and may be forced to use inappropriate tyres for stages later on, which according to Citroen (and bluuford) mostly won't be so wet and slushy.
