Rallye Wrc Monte Carlo 2016

[André Rocha]

Hi!

First post on the forum. I'll be coming from Portugal.. Any help on where to stay? We're going 5 persons and only need a place to sleep and bath! Any help appreciated!

The best tip I could give you is book (much) earlier, but you can't turn back time now. I book the accommodation for my WRC trips sometimes over half a year in advance, to ensure a good location/price. If you want something cheap and central to the stages I think you are too late (5 months too late that is). The one time I went to Monte Carlo (2014) we stayed in Ancelle, in "Hotel les Autanes", we also decided to go only in december and booked quite late. You may have a chance there as the hotel isn't on booking.com. Other than that I'd recommend you to search for "Chambres d'hotes"/"bed and breakfast" on Google. The best way to find something now is by searching for things that aren't found on booking.com.

Also if you speak French it could be interesting to repeat your question on http://forum-rallye.com/ , maybe someone can help you there.

Clearly the combination of David Evans/Autosport/MN are less sure what Kubica is driving now on the Monte. They've taken him out of the list of confirmed M-Sport Fiestas, listing only Ostberg, Camilli, Tanak, Bertelli, Bouffier and Evans (R5).

The ACM just tweeted out the entry list - https://twitter.com/ACM_Media/status...272897?lang=en

Small writing but you can just about read it. Kubica in a private Fiesta. New co-driver for Elfyn. Lappi there but not in WRC2.

M-Sport is listed as a manufacture, so they are doing the full season, contrary to some rumours

Interesting also that Lappi is entered, with the works Team absent from Monte.
My guess is that the car is from BRR, as they are entered with Kremer and outside the works squad probably the No. 1 customer Team.

i dont understand, Citroen arent doing full season and they get numbers 7 and 8? Yesterday it was confirmed that Paddon has number 8 for next season.

Is this something or nothing - Bouffier down as a registered M-Sport 'Team' car. Does that mean that they've committed to 7 rallies then with that extra car? Is that rule still in place? Looks likely we'll see Elfyn in that car on some events if so.
