Ogier's 3rd run was dismissed probably because he cut the chicane so now Meeke has the fastest time

While it's an indicator, it's always problematic to compare shakedown times when drivers do 4+ runs. Also some drivers like Ogier and Latvala did all runs in the morning and then gave up, while others (Neuville, Meeke++) did 2 then went back 1,5 hours later, so even comparing same run does not mean same conditions. Also Tanak, Evans and Breen are now going to do more runs again, some 2,5 hours after for example Latvala set his best time.
Nevertheless, Citroen does seem to be competetive (judging by both Meeke and Breen's times), which is good. (In Poland Shakedown they were 3 out of last 4 WRCs, with Breen the last one)

Interestingly, Ogier says he asked for it to be cancelled

Meeke says he has new parts on the car that he couldn't even test in advance. The newly homologated diff parts?

Close call by Breen and Latvala early in the vid:

Also it is hard to compare the times much. In the morning there was a hayball at the chicane in the last part, then a red cone, by the last run shown on the vid (Meeke) there is the plastic block that everyone bumps into.Last edited by mknight; 27th July 2017 at 10:43.

to be honest the "chikane" at the second part of the video looks like a second class autoslalom event...not the world championship...as mknight already wrote, first a hayball, than the cone and than nothing....this is nonsense!
