2WD cars use a lot narrower tyres than WRC cars in Monte. It has been like that for years.

I was on that stage close to the finish (with Pluto). There was a lot of fresh snow, we got even stuck on the way to our spot. First cars had it very difficult (I think Wittmann and Alén) and then there was the gap with no Meeke and no Hänninen coming. Later we learned they crashed nearly on the same spot. That brought a massive disappointment.

EDIT: Ups, I speak about different Meeke's accident from a year before, sorryLast edited by Mirek; 7th January 2017 at 22:59.

It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
