hmm I don't see Bosch on the livery. In GB 2011 the Mini had Bosch as a sponsor, was it just a one-off?Quote:

Its anyone's guess who Mini are sponsored by now.Quote:

I don't know if it was meant to lead to something bigger however.
I think that the North One issue may have made BMW freak out, making it all the more difficult to confirm who and what is going to be happening this year.
I wouldn't be surprise if we have to wait till the 11th hour for all the surprises to be revealed.
So you think FIA has only one hand, do you? If they happen to have a mess up with NOS they still have to handle such as entry lists, wouldn´t they?Quote:

Honestly I think people are wrongly blaming FIA. My guess for the delayed entrylist is because FIA is waiting for the final entry name for MINI and for an extra Ford team with Wilslow and HSolberg. (both will be able to score Manufacturer points). So FIA is giving those two teams extra time so sort out potential sponsor deals that might be a part of the entry-name for the full season.Quote:

Sorry, but it's not a mistake of ACM but the mess with manufacturer teams and NOS.Quote:

So now who will take care of the WRC site?! Nothing new has been updated to the site in the last days and I suspect we wont have live-timing, radios and media in the site until someone takes over.
I think some will miss the things they constantly ranted about last years.
i have a soft spot when it comes to publishing of the entry lists... its a mental problem i acquired from greek organisers because they never publish entry lists on time...so i hate it when i get the same from civilised countries.Quote:

Some of us on here are old enough to remember a wrc without North One Sport, and for what it's worth it was good back then.
I can't imagine there was any kind of live timing before ISC / NOS. Haven't they been doing it for 11 years or something?Quote:

You should have seen Safari (historic) rally last November, members of the public could log on with Google Earth and track the cars, service vehicles and helicopters. Dont get sucked into the journalistic hype that WRC cant survive without NOS, other events like Dakar have this "live timing" and outside rallying check out the Tour De France cycle race to see what they have in terms of internet coverage.Quote:

I have no worries about live timing. ACM always has had it in event website Automobile Club de Monaco. If it's true that Patricksoft will do timekeeping in RMC, than results will be also on their website PatricK Soft and maybe also on FFSA | Fédération Française du Sport Automobile. After that other sites like Výsledky Rallye: Mistrovství svìta or eWRC-results.com - archive and online results from WRC and rally etc. will have it also and we can count with Michelin as mentioned before.Quote:

As I wrote in my previous post ;) Or do You think that the French measure their championships on calendar? :)

I guess you didn't read the news. Monte Carlo is going to be timed via the "Honor System."Quote:

Right, because releasing the entry list is their single biggest concern right now. Never mind the debris that NOS left behind, or the problems with the timing equipment not being available for Monte Carlo, or the ongoing problems in Bahrain, or the inevitable challenge that the Formula 1 teams will make regarding the legality of Lotus' latest piece of equipment - satisfying the public demand for and entry is is their number one priority.Quote:

Hello every one
me and my wife coming from Canada to Monte (aprox. on 20th) to see the Rally
any suggestion on where to stay, where to rent a car and how to get around
to see as much as possible?
or any guided/bus rally toors available?
i contacted "rallytravel" but they're sold out and "wrc experience" won't answer my emails/calls)
thanks in advance!
So why dont they just get the rally on in a backyard where nobody else can watch. They indeed are so busy cleaning up their own mess so maybe let´s just skip the rally and start season in Sweden instead?Quote:
