“We tested here two weeks ago and did a small test in Italy before coming here, but in completely different conditions. Heavy rain is predicted for tomorrow and it will be a big challenge just to stay on the road. So my confidence isn’t really high, but it’s the same for everyone. It will be a big day if the heavy rain comes,” he said.

Thierry Neuville: ‏
«I feel really comfortable with everything. Car is good, I like the conditions, so will have a big push here to get a good result. One week ago we tested here with 35° and now it’s cold and wet. But I like those conditions so I’m pretty confident »

From the wrc.com recce notes:

5. Junction hairpin right.
There are hairpins aplenty in Corsica, but the one below in the Francada - Sermano stage (SS3/5) is so incredibly tight that organisers have added an alternative route. Taking the hairpin option, drivers will approach the corner uphill from the road on the right, before turning hard right. If that isn't possible, they can continue 50 metres past our camera position and double-back around a bus stop instead. We expect the World Rally Cars to favour the hairpin option. Less agile cars, the RGT Porsches for instance, will probably take the bus stop.

That is quite funny. I don't see a reason why they shall not turn there. There are tighter hairpins around the world, for example one famous from Rally Canarias...

Opposite direction
