I'm quite fond of Becs, she's nice to listen to and she always sounds kind and friendly. The new stage end reporter up till now has been pretty shit though.Quote:

Yeah she seemed nervous. I agree becs is friendly and up beat. But she offers nearly zero rally insight.
I know it's only SD, but TGR seems strong already.
I see that they have gotten rid of the option to listen all live audio as rally radio?

Oliver Solberg had a short off road excursion on #RallyeMonteCarlo shakedown. Slid wide and continued - same style and place as Latvala last year. #WRC @OliverSolberg01
And there seems to be no more free live stream from the SP either.Quote:

All Live should soon show pictures. Plus people on this forum always post it as soon as they hear...Quote:

People would start complaining "why are they showing the empty stage" when cars are either returning to the start, changing their tyres, setup or even going back to the service.Quote:

Hyundai cars don’t have the centre exit exhaust fitted...
Starting order for tomorrow is ready - https://rally-base.com/2020/rallye-m...imeTypeId=1104
I thought I was being creative with Ostberg 8th in my pickems but Vaggelis27 had the exact same idea as me!

This is actually quite strange. They have new diffuser but exhaust in old spot. So different configuration than in both sets of pre-event testa.Quote:

No even Loebs car has side exhaustQuote:

For me Ogier is the favourite like always at Monte, no matter what the car is. As basically he is local, he knows how to read the conditions and weather etc. He showed with the Fiesta and C3 that even with little testing time he is still unbeatable.
Neuville for second i think or maybe also for the win. Last year he narrowly missed out and its all familiar for him regarding car and team wise, he should feel the most comfortable and confident.
Tänak for third. He has a good record here the last 3 years, two 3rd places and one 2nd place, it isn't his strongest rally i would say. The question is how fast he has adapted to the car. Same for Ogier thou
dunno about the rest, Evans for 4th i think or maybe Loeb? Maybe Lappi will surprise? i have no idea, so many unknown's this year, we even can't take for granted that Ogier, Neuville and Tänak will be in TOP3.
Anyway, exciting season ahead with so many changes!
I think Neuville will go for it this time and if he is mentanly strong then its all open this year.

Well, you just read through my top six prediction...I think it's a battle between Ogier and Neuville. Ogier has a good car but he has to adapt to it, but we've seen in the past he can do that quick, and Toyota has been easy to adapt (Tänak, Meeke). Meanwhile, I would still give some time for Tänak to settle in with the more difficult Hyundai. And the shakedown seems to hint that Loeb hasn't gotten any faster with the Hyundai.Quote:

Then it's the fact that they use new diffuser in combination with old exhaust which is a combination that wasn't on any test at all as far as I know.
--------------------------
If it's mostly dry and easy tire choices I think Evans can get 4th or maybe even 3rd if Tanak struggles more. If there are lots of tricky tire choices Loeb should be 4th instead, on the other than if it's very dry it's possible Loeb ends behind the two Fords around 6-7th place.Quote:

Are there any posibiliti to snow in these days?
Sorry. But no.Quote:

Well, only two years ago we didn't see anything of the shakedown. Now we get a great coverage of the first run, and people are still complaining...Quote:

Have you been on a shakedown yourself? Those who had know what to expect.
