More questions...
1. Will the shake down times be available? If so, WRC+?
2. How do you follow a rally when not there live? WRC+?, TV?, Live Timing? I want to take in the rally in the proper way.....

Itix, you forgot the splits.
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

Your typical browser setup for when the rallies are live should include 3 basic tabs
1. wrc.com to follow the splits (when they work that is).
2. this forum where you can get last minute info (pictures, videos ects) on the official rally threads and of course endless banter.
3. https://rally-base.com/ where you can follow the results and usually they have drivers comments at the end of some stages.
4. (optional) is the rally radio, i would recommend it, since you are new to the sport since they provide some good info and interviews, just do not take them too seriously since their knowledge is pleb level stuff.
since you are in the USA the web page below will help you to find out when each stage begins on each country

I would also suggest Twitter after choosing proper accounts to follow, like MSport, Citroen. Just search. There you also find ewrc-results. I think Twitter might be fastest way of getting info, especially official info from teams.

I sometimes have rally radio on and a look at the timing, but for the most part I don't really bother keeping up with it live. Partly that's because it's difficult to do when working, but also I've grown up being used to standing out on the stages and not knowing who wins a rally until you read about it in Motorsport News later in the week. Even now, where it's possible on most national rallies to follow live times on a phone, I tend not to look at results until the end of the day.
BTW, shakedown tends to be a bit of an indication rather than a true representation of how quick people will be. You can draw some conclusions from it but just because x, y & z are 1,2,3 in shakedown doesn't mean that they'll be quickest. I suspect that Monte this season will be even less of an indication as some may be sandbagging a bit. Also there's a risk, if someone trashes their car so bad that the team can't repair it then they can't start the event. It's not a common thing to happen, but we have seen it quite a few times. IIRC Ken Block did it a few years back with a giant off, possibly in Portugal.Last edited by MrJan; 17th January 2017 at 13:38.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

MrJan, another reality is that it's really hard to work, when following the rally live online. Usually I just have to not check anything rally related or forget work and just follow the rally.

Since you are beginner, keep WRC.com live radio on.
Look split times, you can compare drives how they progress.
Make notes what kind of tires each driver chooses, they will drive 3 stages with same tires, somebody will gain first stages and maybe loose everything for next. Prepare for mixed strategy: 2 studded and 2 non studded winter tires, 1 of each in both end of car."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"
