The slippier the stages are, the smaller the difference btw what logically should have been called R1 (WRCar) and R2 (R5) will be, since the extra power will be more wheelspin, if used to the maximum.

Who can tell me what on earth Giandomenico Basso has been doing for the last five years? And what he's doing here in an R5 in 2017? I mean good for him but as far as wikipedia knows he last rallied on Monte-Carlo in '12 in a Proton S2000...
I think this is better than wikipedia ;)

No shakedown for Delecour today?
No need?
Autosport:
"Most of the crews ran the most suited, heavily treaded winter tyre - except for the Citroen drivers who set all their times on a soft-compound dry weather tyre.
The tyres used at shakedown form part of the crew's allocation for the event itself.
Citroen insiders were quick to point to the fact that, while the winter cover worked at shakedown, it's unlikely to suit the conditions during the event itself - but anybody who used it will have to include it in their package, precluding the use of potentially more suitable rubber."
Explain this someone, confusing me... :(

Fiesta's rear at dark is a stunner

Limited tyres per event means using the heaviest winter tyre in shakedown means that you can take fewer soft/dry tyres on the rest of the event, so you have fewer options and may be forced to use inappropriate tyres for stages later on, which according to Citroen (and bluuford) mostly won't be so wet and slushy.
Have to say having seen the Toyota up close at service I absolutely love it. Completely mental looking. Toyota set up is very good - and ready to take the third car when they get it ready.
Will reccy some of the end of SS4 tomorrow and then SS2 in the evening.
Thank you for your reply. It seems there is no Monte Carlo on Polish TV. Last year we had reports on Polsat, TV4 and Eurosport, but it seems there is no interest anymore after Kubica's withdrawal.
I'll try RedBull.tv then:

I must say I like the look of the Toyota more and more. The weirder-looking ones are growing on me, I now think Citroen and Toyota are the most attractive looking current WRC's. Now if only Tommi proves everybody wrong and Toyota is competitive in good time...
We are starting our journey to Monte Carlo. I will try to post depending on the network coverage what are the conditions where we are standing. Have a nice and safe rally everyone.

Kremer on DMack. Did Pirelli stop supplying tyres for WRC altogether?
