The driver's have all said they take no notice of weather forecasts as it can change at any time... even after the ice note crews have been through.

The first leg starting order is same as last year championship, after that in reverse order.Quote:

Even after Donald Trump has pushed the big red button those Volvos will still be rolling along.
I saw only poor Evans with a Volvo. Buff uses a classic blue Subaru.
It's just recce car, doesn't matter if they drive tractor or van.
Does anyone have an idea how long the wrc+ free trial lasts?
Of course it does matter.Quote:

Kalle Rovanperä says in an interview for @ksmlfi that his deal with @MotorsportSkoda is 2 years + 1 year option. Kalle's gravel crew in #RMC is Mikko Kalliomaa and Timo Hantunen.
Possibly. It wasnt meant for public use.Quote:

I blogged about the weather predictions, probably nothing new https://itgetsfasternow.wordpress.co...18-conditions/
no more videos of recce?
PS: the focus RS looks like a proper machine
On the other hand, when you sit high, the view you have on cuts and hidden obstacles is a lot better.Quote:

If you go slow enough and watch out of the side window, you can see them from any car. Sometimes I even get out of the car to take a look :)Quote:

Never forget Henning doing Sweden recce in a Mercedes van.
On tarmac events it is crucial to use a car with rollcage and racing suspension similar to your competing car's in order to better understand bumps , compressions and uneven terrains.

Shakedown stage looks quite dry.
Whoever decided the Panasonic stickers on the front of the Toyotas were placed correctly, needs firing. What a shambles!!
Agreed. I thought it was unfinished at the Autosport Show and may change for Monte. Sadly, it hasn't.Quote:
