    Tanak being first on the road should be able to benefit a little from the clean road over the others. He needs to make the most of this, but given Toyota's propensity for punctures, he may need to need to make some really good pace notes. Overall, i see it as an opportunity for Tanak

    Ogier may have to deal with some slight dust/gravel/dirt on the road running 2nd, but it should not be too bad

    with the long 1st day with no full service, i suppose it may not be about flat out pace and some sort of strategy will be needed to manage the car and tires

    if I remember right, Mäkinen said that from Corsica they will use stronger rims(as they already do in Germany).

    Yep, you are right, stronger rims now for all the tarmac rallies. The pollution isnt that much of a problem here in Corsica, they cant cut so much.

    Friday will be interesting indeed with no service, good setup from the start will be crucial.

    cant wait this time, usually im not not interested in this rally at all.

    oh and btw, 2004 Corsica winner Markko Märtin will be Tänak's gravel crew this weekend.

    A proper downscaling from last year’s five drivers.

    I guess they will do nearly all events in the second half of the season once the new car is ready.

    Tyres they can change, but no service.

    The Saturday loop meanwhile is 87 km (typically no more than 80) so that calls for tyre management.
