Czech rally news

Normally there is much more snow in the Jänner Rallye than in the Monte-Carlo. The Jänner is a rally where tyre choise isn't so important compared to the RMC, while in Monte-Carlo it is in (almost) each edition very important and it decides the rally.

I don't agree ;) Sometimes there is a lot of snow in Jänner but not always. Last year only few stages were on snow, the rest was wet. In 2008 or 2009 (I think) it was completely dry etc. The biggest difference is that in Jänner narrow studded tyres are allowed. Anyway it is closest to RMC from all big events because it is asphalt/snow event. Also the stages are similar to some of those around Valence.

Monte-Carlo was completely dry, with only some ice parts in the high regions of the rally, in the most recent years that it was part of the WRC. ;)

There's a chance so it's worth the try. If u don't try u will not gain anything. I expect they will use some date from Campana too this weekend in Rally du Var. And this year there was snow in MC if u don't remember..

Please read my sentence again and you can see that I had it about when Monte-Carlo was part of the WRC.

I was in RMC in last three years and always it was a mix of everything. In 2009 I saw 5 passes on snow, 1 on wet. In 2010 I saw 6 passes on snow, 2 on wet and this year 7 on dry and 1 stage on snow.

Jänner was almost completely dry in 2007, all snow in 2008, mostly dry with some snow in 2009, not run in 2010 and a mix of snow and wet asphalt in 2011. Together with very similar nature of stages to those like St.Bonnet or Labatie d'Andaure Jänner really is the best rally to prepare for RMC.

That is quite irrelevant for weather in 2012. Weather doesn't depend on championship RMC is currently in.
