It's so long to wait after an official announcement if Monte-Carlo is running or not(should have been this morning)... :mark:
And on next monday it's normally time for the official entrylist... :s

The "first" green light was indeed given yesterday, but it seems that somebody else has final word.

Well, at the moment there is no 'red light' to say it's NOT running.Quote:

I am sorry, the last announcement says something different. It says that there is a search for sponsors, not that the government will be the sponsor. Please read the last paragraph.Quote:

Looks like M-Sport forfait, after several mechanics to be hit by Covid19 :confused:
withdraw?
Hope this isnt true...
ANL AUTO:
Bad news for the #RallyeMonteCarlo, @MSportLtd cancelled their pre Monte-Carlo tests due to covid in the team and they are not sure to move to #moncao and #Gap because of the measures in England.
The French rugby authorities have banned British teams from playing ties in France due to Covid. Suspect MSport may also have issues with travelling now the transition period is over. Would they be deemed as essential travellers.
Evans is from UK and is right now testing in France.
Usually the travel restrictions are not based on the nationalities but on the country you travel from and to. Also Evans could have stayed in quarantine in France or whatever rule they have.Quote:

ANL AUTO Update
Finally the M-Sport trucks would be on their way for the tests in Ardèche! And so for the rally ! With the covid, the information changes from hour to hour.
It was posted here like a week ago that Evans was biking in Wales.Quote:

i wonder how that will work. the later cars will never make it back to parc ferme before the 18h curfew, so unless they get an exception from the government, how will they go back to their hotel?Quote:

Good evening, I allow myself to put a message, the tests will go well just as M-Sport will indeed be at the start of Monté Carlo.
I also relayed the information, I do not publish a link in agreement with the administrator but I deviate from the rules but as Adrien Fourmaux was kind enough to respond to the rumor, I allow myself to put his answer.
You can still travel and move around for the purposes of work.Quote:

No different to everyone else in France.
The curfew does not stop people who have to work!

Abbring "downgraded" from WRC 3 to non-priority.
Also Bonato as non priority. Pity for both.
Carlos del Barrio with Sordo.
As non-priority they should not be subject to restrictions on tire amount (amount of tires of specific type).Quote:

Will he be allowed to use Michelin tyres :confused:
NO, every 4wd car must use Pirelli.Quote:

Does there is some information about spectator restriction , and what about does need quarantine if arrive from other country ?
I don’t get why M-Sport dropping out may mean the rally not happening. Any ideas as to why?Quote:

so lets say M-sport cant come to a certain rally because of force majeure but the other teams can be there, it would also mean not running an event?Quote:
