wrc.com is owned by NOS, so don't be surprised there is nothing about monteQuote:

Power Stage was created to be "Live TV stage" and the most important rally of the whole season do not have live broadcast :(
The end of SuperRally is good but only if happens to all events.
Ah is she the only one entered? And even then she could not get it, she already said that she doesn't know for sure if she can do all rallies what maybe will get her DQ'ed. But anyways beside that title it will gain her nothing for her future entering PWRC 2WDQuote:

The irony is that before the rally he said that he most likely won't aim for win but for solid points because Loeb is so hard to beat in Monte. I read what Juha_Koo wrote but I still think that excellent times for stage 2 and 3 made him a little bit less cautious :mark:Quote:

It's so good that Quesnel is gone.
And having seen the footage from leg 1, it gives me peculiar satisfaction to see Mini on the roads of Rally Monte Carlo :up: :)
Hmm, and he hasn't got a lot to do now after the Peugeot announcement....Quote:

Motors tv will be on schedule though...
No problem, N.O.T, at least three million of people will watch it.
I already planned that in my mind that it would be delayed.

Well I'm done with the job for this week guys. Now I'm packing my luggage and tomorrow morning i'm off to Nice for friday - sunday stages. Enjoyable rally to everyone !
I set my Sky+ for Motors as well as Eurosport... 1. to see the difference and 2. in case ES fails due to over-running...
Gutted to hear JML went off so early... just what the new season and MC didnt need :(
Pluto !!!! :D :DQuote:

Now highlights at Motors TV here: Motors TV em directo no Tvdez.com - ESTADIOFUTEBOL.COM
Ford team principal Malcolm Wilson says the heavy snow forecast for the French Alps means the Monte Carlo Rally remains wide open.
Five-time Monte winner Sebastien Loeb holds a one-minute lead for Citroen at the top of the timesheets tonight, but wintry weather is expected to arrive on the stages tomorrow and those conditions make tyre choices even more critical.
"This event is wide open still," said Wilson. "We could have Petter [Solberg] winning, a Mini winning with Dani Sordo, Sebastien winning, anything. The weather is really coming in. It was due to come in on Friday, but we've heard it will be here tomorrow."
Heavy snow seriously impacted last year's Monte - then an Intercontinental Rally Challenge round - with an inappropriate tyre choice from Skoda dropping its cars down the leaderboard, while Bryan Bouffier's inspired use of studs rocketed him into a lead he would never lose.

I hope eurosport are using different footage...
the guys who select the position of the incar cameras should be fired !!!
and the commentating seems rushed....
Eurosport will not disappoint i am sure !!! although i think it will be more than an hour for the show to start.
Pretty amateurish feel on the new footage. Even more boring ground cameras than with NOS.
LOL, that is the Eurosport footage. You think MotorsTV has own guys down at Monte? Get real.Quote:

First loop a downhill section some five kms before end of SS2. Little bit of snow, little bit of ice but not extreme, walking without sliding. BUT almost all crews took it in walking speed. I was quite shocked first seeing Loeb so slow, than Mikko and same... You'll see on the autosport.cz leg 1 video soon. JML, Ogier, Sordo, Novikov, PG, Arzeno or Abbring were quite nice. Than extremely boring party of Lancers and much better show by 2WD drivers, also thanks to better conditions.
Second loop some two kilometers backwards in opened area. Dry conditions but a lot of mud from cutting. That was much more spectacular with almost all WRC/S2000 drivers. Than again boring gr.N cars and this time also most of 2WD which could not show much there. One small off and one crazy moment of Abbring.
Knowing these stages from previous IRC years I just have a feeling that WRC tyres with universal tread are crap compared to classic slicks. The cornering speed just don't impress me at all. I don't know because I didn't see an asphalt WRC rally yet but I saw a lot of IRC asphalt and other events. Maybe it's just a feeling...
I'm working nightshift and I this frigging workmachine won't allow me save shortcuts of webpages. Can some nice soul post again the resultpage of day 1, thank you in advance :)
