Only the powerstage live on WRC+?
Disappointing... expected more, especially after the announment of the intense live coverage on local French channel.
Will be very interesting what the conclusion after the event will be concerning the very different layout compared to a regular WRC event of these days. The very long stages could cause some unexpected happenings, but also boredom.
Forecast is so crazy that I am afraid to write it here..
It will be rainy week and there will be sudden cold front on Thursday. So, +9..+10 degrees and rainshowers during shakedown are high possibility.
For Friday, things go even worse, western coast gets some proper rainshowers, lets say, normal rainshowers.. but eastern coast with Ss2, and Ss3 looks so bad that if it becomes true, then we will not see SS2 and Ss3.. for two reasons.. the amount of predicted rain is too much for mountain roads and I do not belive that anyone is allowed to drive in these conditions... if they drive, then I do not belive we can see them through the rain. Unless something drastic happens with forecast, I am not sure that SS3 and Ss2 run. There is slight possibility that rain comes early and its starts to clear up just before the stages.. but maybe it is too late.
Saturday morning Ss4 should see some slight rainshowers and from then, rally should be dry until the end. temperature rises from Friday +15..+17.. to +17..+20 for Saturday and to +19..+23 for Sunday.
So, crazy weekend ahead.
On many forecasts really big big amounts of rain are predicted now for Thursday and especially Friday. Will be a tough event for Drivers and also spectators. Especially as cancellations of Special stages will be critical due to the big loss of stages km with this little number of stages.
I hope all the stages get to run but a bit of wildcard weather would be good.
I have one Ok rubber boat, 3,5 long, very stable, 3,5 HP engine.. suitable for these conditions.. send me your coordinates .-P
Anyway,
I just calculated that according to some models, July, August, September and October total precipitation is going to hit the ground in 36 hours.
First WRC rally to be cancelled bcs of rain?
