Wrc Deutschland 2017

That being said you never know what kind of input Loeb had on the car. Could or could not make a huge difference for Citroen. I can think of many examples as a rally car driver at a lower level where small changes can completely change the car and increase confidence of the driver. So yeah, the car can be special, but I was not implying that...

Loeb tested the car after all 3 other drivers completed their tests. Also he tested in France (check the signs on the vids) on smooth tarmac while the others tested on the actual stages in Germany.

I see it quite unlikely that the drivers will change their setup found during 2-3 days of testing (each) based on what Loeb found during 1 day in France. For now it was imo more like "development feedback".

They are going to chase each other only. I don't expect them to fight for the win. The stakes are too high now for both of them.
Since Portugal, Neuville is driving conservatively, and that seams to pays off.

You forgot to tell who is fighting for win ?

The reverse is true, the stakes are too high for either of them to let the other gain an advantage. Tactically Ogier being just 1 point behind rather than 1 point ahead would be ideal going into gravel day in Spain. However, Ogier will go for the win on day 1 as he knows pressurising Neuville from the start could see him gain a huge psychological advantage by taking back the initiative.

looks more like a gravel rally and add tomorrows rain to this...the back starters will have huge loss

[swanny]

Almost looks like the back wants to kick out more than on gravel...
