The promoter would never be so stupid as to leave out MC again. They did that mistake once and probably (hopefully) never again. MC has always been allowed more freedom than the rest and I hope this will continue. It is literally the worlds oldest rally and so great to watch.
If they don't want to sign, the promoter will let them onto the calendar anyway, I am sure. It is their commercially most lucrative rally I'm sure. No other motorsport going on so early in the year, stunning scenery, unpredictability, history in the loads...
They'd be upsetting sponsors and everything... the Monte has that kind of power.

Not sure if they are next year but why would MC want to start in the middle of the week on a Wednesday and end on a Friday or Saturday as i think they did one year? Any good reason for it?

I actually preferred the years they ran it that way. In fact, I think some events worked better midweek than the weekend; the old RAC got huge crowds, and usually ran from Sunday - Weds/ Thursday. Weekends are crowded with more popular sporting events - moving some events to midweek wouldn't hurt. Obviously it won't happen.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Oh ok thanks. It is clear now, so basically they want more money from promoter? Lol, I can understand Monte but Corsica...
BTW it is not nice move, every other round agreed with actual offer, they should not do this. WRC needs Monte for sure, but Monte needs WRC. They can have a great event in ERC but it is not the same thing.

This is not so important. This stage is only not to make a mistake and not to destroy the tyres. We will see tomorrow on proper stages.
