Road program is now out !
Programme du Rallye Wrc Monte-Carlo 2013
3 loop in Turini !
I like the four day layout from Wednesday to Saturday - and let everyone find their way home on Sunday - but with eighteen stages and only three on Friday it will be a very slow paced event.
The three stages of Friday covers a long way from Valence to Monaco and due to the location of these stages these three are most likely the ones where to expect dramas. It's huge distance although the competitive kilometers are rather small. Anyway this short leg sure deserves to be seen at least because of return of the legendary Sisteron stage!
What I really don't like is to have start in Monaco, shakedown in Sospel but first leg three hundred kilometers away at Valence!
The WRC have never liked Valence. I can't remember the IRC complaining, though I could be wrong. However, it's a better route than this years. They will be running Col du Turini at night, won't they?
They did last run in the night last year too but with more strict safety rules it lost something.
In the IRC they did both runs in the night with the second one ending near midnight in a great atmosphere. I feel really happy I could be there.
Agree, to much etap for spectators if would like to see the full program - and no realy new stages, I would be happy to see Sisteron and others back, but it will depend more on the wheather how spectacular will be.Quote:

Which city/town is the best to stay in over the rally? Nice? Then easy access to drive/park close to stages and walk the rest of the way? Even being media?...
I'm extremely keen to head over! Just one phone call and i'm there! =D
Definitely best is to stay on two places. Near Valence for northern stages and near Nice for southern ones (we usually stay in Menton). Be aware the mountain roads are very slow.
Would anyone be interested in sharing a car and going to stages in Monte?
yes the best place... with 2 places during Rallye... maybe for the first day more close that Rally.. Because Valence to go rally is a bit longer, and for the final days menton or noth menton is good ;)Quote:

It was a long way definately but we were prepared for that and was a good oppurtunity to see the beatiful landscape. Of course staying near Valence is much better. For saturday and sunday stages Nice is very good located it's about 30 km to Col de Turini and Lantosque- Luceram stages. It's also close at about 20 min. to Monte Carlo where is the service park and the prize giving ceremony.Quote:

Last year's stages don't change too much, but 2013 maps are now available: ACM - Automobile Club de Monaco

I miss some snow in it. It will be enough if it appears on the roads.

How very well organised 2012 maps in the current edition and 2013 maps in the 2012 edition. Only the Google map too as far as I can see, there is nothing on the PDF when I download (or is it me!)Quote:

Wanted desperately to go this year, but unfortunately stuff has got in the way. Definitely going for 2014. If anyone from SE England is thinking about preparing for a trip in 2014 let me know and we'll start arranging!
Definitely up for it if you think you can put up with Victor Meldrew the second and if Ally and his mate were in then we have the ideal economic unit - Budget of Ł230 pp for flight accom and car hire could be done this year, so I imagine it won't be too different next year and the euro is due to keep dropping!. Probably another Ł100 each for food and petrolQuote:

I was on Monte Carlo many times since 2004, I was not missing since 2009. But after disappointment with this year edition (especially with comparison to IRC) I am afraid that our whole group will stay at home in 2014...
Dear French friends, are there some onboards from stages Sisteron - Thoard and La Motte Chalancon - Saint Nazaire le Desert? Could be even reversed. I think the first one was not run for quite a long time but the second was used even in 2009 if I remember.
Ok but what is your plans for 2013?Quote:

hi guys, going to monte for the first time, as going with the non rally loving wife will probably just end up on the stages saturday only.always fancied col de turini, can anyone tell me how good veiwing actually is up there and is moving around to other parts of the stage possible either on foot or by car as standing in the same place for 3 passes does not appeal to me. also how far in time does it take to reach from monaco by small hire car.if anyone can help me on this or anything else i should be aware of it would be appreciated.thanks.
In fact there's not much to see on Turini unless it's on snow. Last year they also moved spectators farther from the road. I was on Turini in 2009-2011 and always enjoyed it a lot thanks to great atmosphere over there (especially 2009, 2010 when they came to Turini from Peira Cava). Last year we went to Col St. Roch on stage Lantosque-Lucerám and I have to say that by pure rally spectacle that place is much better than Turini and the atmosphere is not much worse. From one place You can see up to three downhill hairpins with plenty of possible viewing places.
For both Col de Turini and Col St. Roch it's same with moving on stage. Directly at the spot there are tons of strict gendarmerie and marshals but when You pass them You are free to walk and stand wherever You want.
I'm not sure if I remember right but I think the drive from Monaco may take one hour. Anyway start early for both of these places! They are very crowded and You may get stuck kilometers from the stage. I recommend You to be there 3 hours before start. You can than use the time for barbecue or watching landscape or whatever :)
By the way if You have time drive through any of these two stages. It's great experience :)

Thank you!
How many live tv stages for Monte 2013 then?
I'd would also like to know how televisioning has been organized to this year's Monte? In couple of last years we have used to Eurosport's spectacular work, I would rather keep it on that level or better.
Still too quiet from the new promoters front.......Quote:

This thead is dead :( No news or rumours of some entries for Monte?
It was a real "event" when it was part of IRC, now it is just another WRC round.
Have a bit of patience, the deals are still being done. the thread was open waaaaay ttooooo early.Quote:
