Rallye Wrc Monte-Carlo 2013

History of devolution: Lamarckism claimed that environmental factors such as taking drugs or alcohol would produce degeneration in the offspring of those individuals, and would revert those offspring to a primitive state.

Impressive and novel technology for WRC shame that music is used in the video. I think Ken Block used one in his videos in a US rally before, but that one was a RC helicopter.

That's also an RC heli. I doubt that WRC reviews will start to hire helicam crew(s) because they are rather expensive. I know that in Estonia their daily rate is near 2000 euros. Would imagine that in Western Europe it is even higher.

But stunning images :)

That kind of camera RC helicopter was used to take images in Czech championship already in 2008 or so. I remember a funny moment when on a loooong straight one driver was saluting to the small helicopter and crashed into a wineyard in a junction coming after a crest. There was an onboard of that moment :)

One could also notice on that historical pic of Audi that they had the option of using narrow tyres. The conditions with slush are only bad when only option is very wide tyres.

So for next RMC (if there´s gonna be any in WRC) one option should be narrow tyres with, let´s say 200 studs, of cours not swedish ones.

I've heard Sainz saying that cut tyres could have avoided this year's accidents at the Turini.

I noticed that too. In fact I can't imagine 500+hp beast with any other tyres in these conditions. You must be veeeeeery careful with the throttle.

Just three weeks before in FIA ERC and the most similar event...

And this is what they did with wide tyres when it was allowed to cut (photo of Hänninen's car from 2009). All centre pads are cut out and so is every second side pad.

So what did they gain cutting every second pad on the outside when pads between the two cut lines are blocked? Iguess they didn´t win anything on that. Rather on the contrary.
They should have cut pads between them as well to gain performance in slush.
