Pretty poor if the defending champion can't get support or sponsors.....
According to his codriver Xavier Panséri, it's OK for Monte start ;)Quote:

I could Mn’t find any spectator guide.
@Mirek, could you as an experienced Monte spectator how you and your friends finds the spectator places?
This just seems like the normal nightly highlight shows that Motors TV did last year?
Yes, January 6th. If it's wrong blame Autosport Portugal :-)Quote:

I have also an italian guide. It was published in 2007, but some of the stages are still the same. I used it when I went to the rally in 2008, but I can't find the pdf file now :-(.
In Monte there are no spectator places, you have only to see the maps and the roads which reach the stages. There are many incredible places, but don't miss St Julien du Gua (SS1 & 3).
Thanks Kielder.Quote:

I think wrc.com along with its various branches should consider to shut down completely....
seems more like a ford advertising site than a WRC info site.
Really, star studded...????? C'mon get real.....Quote:

Col St. Jean is a very nice peak close to the end of stage Moutauban. A small road is leading there but it's one-car wide so You get stuck near stage and than must wait for opening after the action is gone. Quite a lot of space for spectators. On snow it's wonderful, on dry it's less spectacular but still worth watching (so does the complete downhill to the finish). In 2009 we didn't manage to get up due to heavy snow falls and got stuck lower :)
Here is for example our Best of 2010 video (most spectacular edition I was): The Best of rally Monte Carlo 2010 - YouTube
Thanks Mirek,
Then you have to find a place where to park the car by the stage.Quote:

It was good wakeup in the morning with a 5 km walk to stage and a 5 km walk back to the carQuote:

And about that error, always drive so far as u can, u maybe find some good spots to park but like u said u could be tricked then how far away it's still from the stage :D .
This WRC free period of the year is getting really boring. Bring on Monte!
I think it's not so boring, too much news around driver swaps, Mini etc. :D
Well, in a way they said true.Quote:

C'mon Eurosport, get it!
