With entries closed when is the official list released?
20th I believe.
Yea according to the regs the entry list is published on the 20th
Question - the ZP locations, mandatory or recommended? -if mandatory there'll be too few places for the public to spread out. Some advice lifted from Forum-Rallye - get there early and walk a long way (to avoid les flics)
Those places are not mandatory, only recomended, but you can choose your own spot. It will surely help if you arrive on time, if you want to be at a place "locked up" in the stage i advice you to go a long time in advance. ;)Quote:

Thanks, WW, we will be early but accessing from open roads as we want some timetable flexibility. Got to say the length of the Saturday stages is not great but I imagine that is to avoid some of last year's problemsQuote:

Any recommendations for the cold?
How are the specials less a month away?
Thaks and sorry for my English
Kornes, your English is fine. Most of the time you don't really need chains on your rental car. But you have to know that it is mandatory to have chains with you to access certain roads. If you take rental car it is advisable that you have winter tyres on it. It depends ofcourse of weather conditions, but with normal tyres you most probably will get stuck somewhere. ;)
By the way, you have private message.
I entered all roads without chains (but with winter tyres) but I admit I got stuck once some 2 km from Col St. Jean of SS Moutauban in 2009 when the overnight snow calamity came in :D In fact a majority of French drivers had summer tyres combined with chains what made me sometimes furious because in condition where You can normally drive with winter tyres they were incredibly slow :) Anyway it might be problem to get winter tyres on the rental car in Marseilles or Nice, or am I wrong?
