Decision on the running or cancellation of the rally is expected on friday
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/monte...n-on-thursday/ Here they claim the decision will be taken on Thursday (7.1.21)
What is the supposed benefit of the time curfew method of restriction though? Doesn't it just mean more people are out for the few hours in the day they're allowed out, rather than spread out through the day/evening?
Here they said it was to prevent people hanging together and drinking but in the winter it makes little sense when it's cold outside and the pubs are closed anyway. But to be honest little of what is being done makes sense. Small shops where few people come are forcefully closed, meanwhile large supermarkets are kept opened etc.
Anddddd more encouraging news!
New 6 week national lockdown in the UK, will M-Sport even be able to travel if the rally goes ahead?!
What a f*ckfest.
