And I guess Mitsubishi or Subaru would be too much direct competitors on the car market? ;) I think the choice makes sense...

Very good choice I would say. :)

Does any of you guys have some photos from the day 1 of the recce?

I would add also that Bmw 1 has 50:50 weight's balance, so it can match better what you find in a wrc

Vino or Tom (or any other french member). Lots of debate regarding ZP on Forum Rallye. Is it published (in writing) anywhere that the public can't go anywhere but these zones? I specifically asked the roads dept of Hautes Alpes council if a road to ES7 would be closed and received a reply assuring me that it would be open. So it doesn't look as though people will be prevented from approaching the route. Any help appreciated.
