Rallye Wrc Monte-Carlo 2013

Weather for tomorrow shakedown:
Night will be cold, approximately -3 degrees.
Temperature is -0.5 degrees at the beginning of shakedown climbs to 0 by 10 AM and +1.5 by 12.

Light snow starts around 7 AM and it turns to stronger snowfall by 8 AM, should end between 10 and 11 (Maybe with light rain). 3-5 cm fresh snow should be there by that time.

The information for the second day looks interesting: Stage 2, 4 should be 100% under snowcover, temperature as low as -8 degrees. Stage 1 a bit warmer, but still most of the stage under the light snowcover and maybe some of it has turned to ice overnight.

The limit on tyres with studs is ridiculous.

agree!! figure out if you have to run mixed stages and destroy them at some km without snow.

Tomorrow we are going to see all the top drivers on normal snow tyres (without studs) to test how do drive on those and to save proper tires.. I guess.
I think that we are going to see a lot of mixed sets.. 2 snow+ 2 studs should help to survive 5 different tyre changes. If here is someone going really fast at the beginning then we might expect that he is not so fast by the end (when they run out of proper tires).

Is M-Sport prepping all the Fords ?

Whats the difference between Qatar M-Sport & Qatar WRT ?

there is no difference.
Qatar M-Sport WRT Ostberg/Novikov is entered as an Manufacturer team, as M-Sport is regulation-technical reconized as a manufacturer, replacing Ford, but still the same team, and almost the same support from Ford, only not in full public

Qatar WRT Al Attiyah/Neuville /Hannine is entered as an M2 team

so Qatar Ford has 2 teams scoring points, just as Abu Dhabi Citroen has 2 teams entering the 2013 WRC
