Here is a guy travelling the Shakedown in his car with a dashcam

Michelin’s top drivers have a choice of four types of tyre for this year’s Rallye Monte-Carlo, namely a snow tyre with or without studs, plus ‘soft’ and ‘super-soft’ versions of the firm’s asphalt tyre. The RC1 priority drivers have a total allocation of 82 tyres to choose from (24 softs, 24 super-softs, 24 studded snow tyres and 10 snow tyres without studs) but may only use 40 on the rally.
Engineers from Michelin Motorsport and their counterparts at Michelin’s Technology Centre have develop a new compound for the Alpin 4 snow tyre which combines enhanced performance with improved longevity, especially on dry roads. This solution is recommended when the proportion of snow and/or ice on a stage exceeds 20%. If used, it will most likely be employed in its studded form.
The regulations concerning the studs themselves have changed slightly compared with 2013, since the number of studs per tyre has come down from 240 to 200. The maximum overall stud length is 15mm, of which only 2mm may protrude from the tread blocks.

Agree. Is it so difficult and costly to show and update shakedown times and some short texts on the official site, like Dakar have been doing?Quote:

as we can see it is NOT difficult.Plenty of sites for free with amateurs have live news photos videos everything.Just because they love what they do.Quote:

Not far wrong. Twitter especially, out of every 20 tweets 2 are good and the other 18 are re-tweets of the first 2...Quote:

According to dimviii Timing system :) WRC2 drivers have only 1 atempt on shakedown? or shake not over yet?
Photos from shake HERE: http://www.rally-mania.cz/photogallery.php?id=1225
Do a search for, say, Germany http://www.wrc.com/search.php?suche=germanyQuote:

Is there a site that normally follows the SD, or does it differ from rally to rally?
Where are the final for MC, I have seen different numbers on different sites!
Can't get more official than the official display (thanks to Dimvii):Quote:

Usually it is http://www.best-of-rallylive.com/, I'm quite surprised there are no shakedown times for Monte.Quote:

Tomorrow weather should be mostly 0..+3 degrees in the morning and a bit higher in the afternoon (on the stages). Rain should start in the morning as the stages start and then get stronger as the day progresses. Stage 3 and 6 (last in the loop) is on the highest elevation and there is a big risk that 30-50% of the stage might be covered by fresh and wet snow (in the morning). So, the faster will be the one who is the fastest after stage 3, do not make conclusions after first or second stage.
Edit: +35 cm more snow predicted for the top of Turini during tomorrow :-)
Finally a nice shakedown stage for Monte, infact for WRC rally held in France:-)

Surprised how well those Citroens go as they have not been tested or developed in a year and everyone there only concentrstes on WTCC. (at least according to last years no. 1 driver) :)
Love those comparison vids, even with low resolution. It's serious stuff, let them come :bounce:Quote:

It's a new sport division, something like STi for Subaru. The N refers to Namyang R&D.Quote:
