when even the 4x4 cars have trouble getting up the hill, there is just no point in sending all the 2wd cars in there.
Melichárek had broken gearbox (stuck 3rd gear) and unfortunately he was first one on the road to plough the fresh snow. That was really unfortunate coincidence which led to the cancelation of the stage by him being stuck on the road...Quote:

Ha, small screen, didn't cats photoshop. :D
12 WRC in the entry list are: Villa-Michi (Ford Fiesta WRC-Tamauto)

A 2017 WRC Fiesta? The entry list would probably say Fiesta RS WRC if it was an older one?Quote:

Taking Monte Carlo as a championship event is always a bit of gamble. For sure it's prestigious to win it but it's also an event with higher risk of something unpredictable happening than others. If your goal is to win the title at all cost you don't choose Monte Carlo.Quote:

Still disappointed and (a bit) amazed Citroën don't have a third car for example Lefebvre here in rally Monte Carlo. He could be in the game for sure, not for the win but a top five spot was possible so be a good third nominated driver and you need one here because always something happen as MC is a special event with the tricky mixed-conditions.
Specially now whe know Ostbeg will have a third car for Sweden so that third car is (still) available. Also no Bonato, so for sure now no win for Citroën in the R5 class but i guess they don't care about that.
Ans missing in the entry-list some fast French drivers like Michel, Maurin, Rossel and Margaillan.
Had btw also some hoped Hänninen could be with Dmack but that ain't happen but was a good opportunity (for both), maybe that will be happen later on in the season, you never know.
But in the end, 11 strong drivers in the top-class and 6-7 strong drivers in the R5 class so it will be a exited MC-event anyway.

Quite a poor entrylist in R5 I think. Strange that both Bonato and Greensmith are back in R2s (if the entrylist is correct...)
WRC2 yes, but do You think that the complete R5 list is poor?
Suninen
Kopecký
Abbring
De Mevius
Sciessere
Veiby
Burri
Rovanperä
Giordano
Arzeno
Sarrazin
Carret
Vossen
Boland
McCormack E.
Would anyone know if the complete route map (with road sections) is available somewhere? Thank you in advance.
I think 15 R5 cars is poor yes. Ifcourse the quality is good, but would have expected more. There were 3 rallies in the Belgian Championship who had more R5 cars... And it's not that it are all top drivers.Quote:

R5 may seem good on local grounds but in WRC they are boring. R3 and sometimes R2 provide much more fun. Sure it will be the same this year too.Quote:

Apparently Pirelli tyres for Abbring-Tsjoen. Both Trayco and Vento are companies owned by Pieter Tsjoen, so not many other sponsors...

Despite the Pirelli stickers, the tires here are undoubtedly Michelin. Maybe he will change at Monte.Quote:
