We’re leading in the Rallye du Var in overall after the first three stages. The final stage was challenging and pretty scary at times.
We tried to push on SS3 in dry areas but we still drove carefully because this stage was entirely new for us. However, most of the road was so wet that the car was aquaplaning even in a straight line, and we were trying not to risk. There was heavy fog with almost zero visibility in some areas. In general, this evening was very tough for us.
We were pleased to have unexpectedly found the right settings, as we’ve had problems during the tests before the rally. It had snowed in France, so we urgently had to relocate to Italy, where the roads were not similar to those of the Rallye du Var neither by surface nor by configuration. Moreover, while the tests took place on dry tarmac it rained heavily during the race.
Regardless of that, we managed to get the settings right during the Thursday shakedown. Also, we were using the new Michelin MW tires, and they did well in those conditions. We certainly didn’t expect such a result after the first day!

Can't see how there was anything preventing Loeb to put on full wet tire, just like many cars did last year in Spain.
If he choose not to it's something else.

The rest of the morning stages (SS5/6/7) are cancelled. Crews are going back to St Maxime to regroup. The organizers will inform whether any stage is planned this afternoon, or the rally restarts only Sunday morning.
