At the start of last Season the odds for Ogier were 2/9...
The bookies clearly dont fancy M-Sport.

As RMC is finished, got the idea that I really want to experience it in person next year.
Could any one give me some advice on that? (before i have forgot)
Have got cheap flights to Nice and Grenoble, but no further ideas.
Check out the first 30 pages of the 2017 Monte thread as there are a number of advice posts there.Quote:

Arrive 2 days before the start - you need to recce your spectating routes, the atmosphere in Gap service park is fun and shakedown is a must-see
Look for accommodation in the Gap region as soon as the dates / route is announced.
Make sure you have cold weather clothing with waterproofs too.
Learn how to put snow chains on if you never have done before. (just noticed you're from Riga so you probably have the necessary experience!)
I'm sure other people will have other bits of good advice but good friends that you don't mind travelling with for hours are a pre-requisite.
Definitely RMC is a must see. As I wrote in a previous post, arriving in the stage and walking those historical routes at 6 in the morning with the cold and thin air of France, the fires of fans in the side of the street... That's a unique experience.Quote:

Skip RMC and visit Rally Finland instead. The rally it is.Quote:

Lyon is a key place to fly into as Nice won't have that many Winter types available... downside to Nice but least it's close to the rally and if you have to fly out Monday morning it's best.
