ehhh... it is a tarmac rally ;)

Well not long ago they were claiming he was using gravel tyres on a tarmac rally so it only seems fair he's now using slicks in a gravel rally ;)

I think they (Gravel Voice) were calling the normal wet, a slick, and the Monte Snow & Ice tyre an extreme wet, which I don't think it is.

The weather is similar, but maybe not as bad as what it was like at the Galway Rally two weeks ago. Rautencrash times improved alot when he switched to the Monte tyre.

"For this year we decided to have an emergency snow tyre available for Ireland because we think competitors could face conditions a bit like Monte Carlo. So in addition to the base soft-compound PZero we have the same non-studded SottoZero winter tyre that was an option last year in Monte."

LOL :D And what conditions do we have? Extremely wet of course and do Pirelli have an extreme wet tyre? No.

What is happening? :confused: After three stages Khalid AL QASSIMI is ahead of Atko and Sebastian Ogier. Do they have (Atko & Ogier) some troubles?
