Weather for tomorrow:
Looks like it will be pretty boring (in terms ofweather). It will be warmer than initially expected.There is still plenty of rain expected. Mostly light, medium and rarely moderate. Temperature should be mostly between +2 and +5, no snow is expected. I expect a lot of mud..specially on the long stage as it is mostly running between the fields with possible cuts. So, first cars on the road should benefit.
Very low clouds, some fog, nearly no wind and low visibility is expected also. Weather should improve in the late afternoon (around 3 PM) Temperature starts to drop during the last stage.. Some of the last cars may hit some black ice on the higher elevations.
So, water and mud on the road will be keywords for tomorrow.
How many snow tyres are they allowed to use?
You are well f..d up in your head...Quote:

Full on-board of SS3 with Meeke/Nagle. Fast and wet on the way up, different story on the way down and see the added notes from the ice/gravel crew. Full credit to all crews having to drive in such conditions (especially those with slicks), one slip and rally over:

Just watched Motors TV UK highlights and was pleasantly surprised... Improved picture quality and good commentary.. So much better than the last time they had WRC. :)
Now for HD version on BT Sport.. :facelick:
"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. "Quote:
