How come Solberg is driving there if it's non-priority? Can they drive both? Or if he drives today he can't drive tomorrow?

I think driving this morning is limited because of the schedule, so essentially they moved what's normally the last two hours of shakedown into yesterday? WRC2, WRC3 and JWRC were allowed yesterday but I believe they must make one run this morning and it compromises their tyres. Non-priority drivers are then not allowed today.

- Ogier said in press conf and Rovanperä commented to Finnish media that they had a very unrepresentative test road in France. It was too fast and there were no cuts to practice. They will need the morning shakedown for setup changes. Meanwhile Evans and Katsuta got a good test. Rovanperä said he has driven so little on the Pirelli tarmac tyres that he needs time to learn that.

- Suninen said elsewhere that the organizers made recce videos only from the Spa stages, so he had to rely on Youtube to practice.
