4. Neuville I20 WRC
5. Sordo? I20WRC
6. DS3WRC

Monte Carlo Rally 2014
Previous posts re route moved here. Let speculation commence.
Myself, 306 Cosworth, pettersolberg29 and Allyc85 are going to be spectating MC next month. Arriving at Nice -13/1, staying at Sigoyer near Gap for 4 nights. Following the rally south on the Friday night with accommodation in Menton overnight then one of the Saturday stages. We'll visit service in Monaco after the stages then back to Nice for the Sunday morning flight home.
Any advice form old Monte experts sought and happily received. Most importantly, how easy is it to use the non-competitive link sections or are these also closed to public traffic?
The route on ACdeM site has changed since the Summer but their detailed maps are due any day nowKris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

Good thing also is that there are no entry tickets, all rally is free for spectators.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
