No, they cant use the same type as in Jänner.
The Monte-tyres is wider and not so good in winterconditions, but better if there are changes in the surface(some tarmac and some ice/snow) on a stage.
Any news about that maybe cancelled stage.
It was on my plans...
This stars on his shoulders means number "off's" on every rally? :DQuote:

No, I think these must be VW titles. However I really hope for more dules to the final between Ogier & Latvala this year.Quote:

BTW: Delecour and Dumas have different cars Cup Porsche with 3.8L (450hp) and 4.0L(480hp). I know that at Monte it means nothing but still wonder why not at same cars.
Hi everybody!
I've been following this forum for many years already, and now I decided to go to my first Rallye Monte Carlo this year. I planned to do either SS1 or 2 on Thursday, SS5/8 on Friday, SS9 and SS12 on Saturday and Col de Turini on Sunday. As I don't know the area very well and as I'll only arrive tomorrow afternoon, any help regarding good spots to spectate would be very much appreciated!
Riiiiight.Quote:

They have restrictors. Is the bigger volume an advantage?Quote:

I think only restrictor is the weight to power ratio which should be no less than 3.4kg/1hpQuote:

Check page 6.......I have read it also in a interview of Tuthill manager
Looks like a simple off:

Two off's now for Loeb... one in testing, one on recce. This wont do his confidence any good.
And remember this is how his last WRC rally ended...

In my opinion the key sentence is the second one.Quote:

All the air necessary for feeding the engine must pass
through this restrictor, which must respect the following:
- The power of all cars is restricted according to a minimum
power/weight ratio of 3.4 kg/hp (4.6kg/kw) in all
international rallies. The FIA shall, at all times and under
all circumstances, take all the measures necessary for the
enforcement of this power restriction.
- The diameter of the restrictors is established by the FIA
and must be mentioned in the FIA/R-GT Technical
Passport.
Pictures is from Monday, even before the new snow arrived.Quote:

No. I didn't find RGT spec of this cars. So think it's same as at circuit racing. And at dry tarmac +30hp is an advantage. But not big in rallying, more so at Monte.Quote:

Yeah, I can tell that it was not snowing on those stages that they were recceing today in the morning ;-)
You guys sometimes really astonish me. How could you remember a picture of a little off in a recce seven years ago?Quote:

You are right, 2008 RGB. Jez, some a-holes about Twitter although from a usually reliable feed. Sure, many retweet but somebody made the mistake/acting stupid at some stage. Thanks for the heads up.
Poor girl still there with the Hyundai balloon.Quote:
