Small note - Greensmith was left outside manufacturer points. It's interesting considering he's done Monte twice on WRC car and won WRC2 in 2019. During the same years Fourmaux has been 7th, 4th and 2nd in RC2. But then again Fourmaux hasn't crashed.

Forecast looks like a dry Monte, so probably Fourmaux preferred as he is seen as the faster tarmac driver.

Anyone heard anything more about spectators? Assuming no news is good news for people who can travel there. Only thing on the website says to mask up.

Had my flights cancelled/rescheduled by the airline today. I think the travel situation will open up, but probably not quite in time for Brits to travel over. Pretty annoying as I think almost all Europe is in the same Omicron-riddled boat now.

I managed to watch through the onboards of all stages so I updated stage descriptions and linked onboards when available on YouTube. This year's route will be very slow and technical, as if there weren't enough challenges with the new cars!

Thank you, much appreciated!! Very useful in order to plan everything

I see that as totally expected since both his WRC starts have been a bit of a disaster. Last year he was behind Rally2 even without major issues. He was also slower than Fourmaux in Rally2 before Fourmaux got a puncture.

Probably a combination of not expecting a good results and not wanting to put extra pressure on him.

Perfectly fine and logical, just slightly at odds with the MSport PR angle.

anyone seen Rallye Monte-Carlo 2022 - Rally Guide 2 (its password protected...) - any useful information for people going there?

I mean, I would have chosen the same, but I'm interested to know how it was explained to him.

Typically it's not useful for spectators.

something like: "keep away from the ditch and to being the last puma at the end, and we can discuss for round 2"
