Thanks Pluto! So a lot of drivers who sent the entry won't start Monte!Quote:

Loix will be 99% at the start but still nothing sure about the car and who'll prepare it aswell. They sent last week a offer to Skoda Motorsport and probably we'll hear some news next week :)
They have a meeting in Škoda on Saturday.
Citroen: Loeb will not enter Monte http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/88405
Only because it ain't a World Championship event? Quesnel sounds bitter. Feels like a lack of appreciation for the sport.Quote:

Hope Ogier will still be there in a 207.
I somewhat doubt that.Quote:

The more I see and hear of Quesnel the more I dislike him.
It's the same in Sportscars with Peugeot, petty protests against Audi.....Quote:

Yep, and Peugeot should try their best to win it.Quote:

Loeb never planned to compete on Monte 2011
In an interview with Turbomagazine, Marc Van Dalen is saying that they have made two entries for Monte Carlo, namely for Wilks and Neuville. The one for Neuville isn't sure yet, because they are lacking part of the budget for next year's season for 8 rally's in IRC. Asked about Raikkonen, he says that he was called by some friends from England talking about that rumour, but he is saying that he knows nothing about a possible entry for Kimi.

So no Räikkönen at Monte 2011 ??? :confused:
Other teams are available.Quote:

That means about 115 teams ??Quote:

But actually Kimi's start isnt main target of Peugeot Sport, there are other subjects which are working on project. So possible is also another team...
That guy destroyed his own carrier..
Monegasque Daniel Elena, who used to be a regular on the event as a driver before forming his dominant partnership with Loeb, has submitted an entry to pilot a Citroen DS3 R3 and is expected to be one of the lucky 100 applicants accepted by organiser, the Automobile Club de Monaco, when it finalises the list of starters on December 6.
The ACM confirmed this evening that it had received more than 250 entry requests for the event, which runs from January 18-22. They include IRC champion Juho Hanninen, his Skoda Motorsport team-mate Jan Kopecky, Monte Carlo podium finisher and former IRC title-winner Nicolas Vouilloz, and French legend Francois Delecour, who won the event in 1994 when it counted as a round of the world championship.
Plans to increase the maximum number of starters to 150 for 2012 have already been discussed such has been the level of interest in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge opener.
http://www.maxrally.com/news/entry/e...scribed_monte/
With two weeks remaining before applications for the 79th Monte Carlo Automobile Rally 2011 close, the Automobile Club de Monaco has now received more than 250 registrations for this centenary edition of world�s oldest motorsport event.
One would have to turn the clock back to the 1980�s to match that number of appearances for the Monegasque event.
Only one hundred crews will take part in this year�s event, so a selection will have to be made, unfortunately for those who do not make the cut. Should this phenomenal interest continue, the Automobile Club de Monaco aims to increase the application limit to 150 crews in 2012.
The official teams have already sent the ACM the names of the drivers and co-drivers who will open the 2011 Intercontinental Rally Challenge season:
* For Skoda, which is celebrating its own 110th anniversary: Hanninen / Markkula, Loix / Miclotte, Kopecky / Stary, Vouilloz / Veillas and Mikkelsen / Floene
* For Peugeot: Magalhaes / Magalhaes (Portugal), Neuville / Klinger and Wilks / Pugh (UK)
* Also Delecour / Savignoni (Peugeot 207 S2000), Elena, 7-time co-driver world champion with his inseparable team-mate Campana, in a DS3 R3, and Gardemeister / Tuomi.
As soon as the application window is closed, on 6th December 2010, the selection committee will draw up a list of the 100 crews selected and publish immediately the results with names.
I see that they have changed closing date for entries...
Bryan will not start in Monte?
Is there any link with temporary entry list names?
Vouillloz again with Skoda Motorsport paid for by Skoda France? I hope Nicolas can get a bigger programme in 2011...
Not sure yet, we will see...Quote:

The way I read the story is that Sordo wants to drive Monte, but the choice of car (he is allowed) to drive will depend on IF he signs with Mini and what if any restrictions will BMW put on that, all academic depending if he signs with Mini. If he pays for a customer Ford then I guess its straightforward, he gets a Fiesta for MC.Quote:
