Remember that it's a 3-day event, so there is no way to be at a computer the whole time. Install the official wrc+ app on your android smartphone and just listen to the live WRC radio
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ola1.wrc&hl=en The app has also live results with split times.

First time I ever open the Hyundai official site but I like how they present information for people with no or limited knowledge of rally sport. This one also reveals some of the basics https://motorsport.hyundai.com/wrc/inside-wrc/

Thank you to all with your suggestions and input regarding following rallies. I AM LOVING THIS! Just fabulous! Because of your generosity, I have been able to follow and understand everything. Very proud of my Toyotas heading into Sunday! Very exciting stuff. However, Toyota cannot be romanced into thinking that they have arrived already. Quality drivers had problems which has paved the way for Jari-Matti to be on the podium overnight. Still, the pace looks pretty good, and the drivers are relatively happy. Good news!

I know "experts" have always said this about a new set of cars performance, but generally you've been able to tell how quick a car is going to be from Sweden because it's not just Scandinavians that are quick there anymore. With Mexico the teams have to deal with power sapping altitude; however, the winners there have always been quick cars and it doesn't throw up any surprises in terms of pace. Another contributing factor are the regulations, WRC cars have all been quite close in terms of pace since 1.6T started.
I agree that Monte Carlo can throw up a surprise because of the adverse / changeable weather conditions, but from Sweden on I think we'll see who are the real challengers are.

I repeat the point I made on the RMC thread - In 8 of the past 10 WRC editions the Monte winner has ended up as WDC. This is more a reflection of driver pace and adaptability, but the qualities that make a Monte winner seem to be those that produce the right mix of speed and consistency throughout the season.
Ogier in a wheelbarrow would be a serious contender, the Fiesta looks a bit better than that!Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

That's probably due to Loeb being a Monte expert and Ogier also hailing from the region...
However, my main issue here is that I had WRC+ last year and decided to try the free Red Bull TV version to watch the Monte. It was a big, positive surprise - actually the daily highlights were even better than in WRC+ (instead of showing 10 minutes of previous day stuff like WRC+, they had Matt Wilson talking about interesting things for the time). Of course Red Bull TV only had one live stage, but I'm not going to subscribe WRC+ again this year, at least...

Sorry, but RB.tv coverage is like rallying for dummies. I watched the third leg coverage. The only bonus is that they've got the extra bits but those are a bit too dummed down. And for me Paul King is no better than Jon Desborough.
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
