    How does the availablity of an entry list a week before the rally make the event any more or less watchable?

    The deal between Qatar and NOS fell though. But Eurosport looks like it's going to pick up the pieces. The price might be that we get delayed coverage of the event, but at least we get coverage in the first place. Without Eurosport, the season could start without anyone to broadcast or promote it.

    It is not the FIA's fault that NOS is in trouble. Nor is it ACM's. In fact, it isn't even NOS's fault that they got in trouble - NOS was owned by Convers Sports Initiatives, which in turn was owned by Vladimir Antonov, a crooked Russian banker. When CSI was sold to Antonov, NOS were in no position to prevent the sale or to go their own way. So why are you blaming the FIA and the ACM for the sins of a banker who was ripping off Lithuanian businesses?

    We usually stay at BB Hotels or Etap in Valance (for northern stages) and Menton (for southern stages). These are really cheap and good enough for the short sleep needed between stages. If I remember right there is a free wi-fi internet as well (it used to be quite overloaded in BB which was otherwise better than Etap). The advantage of Etap in Valance is that it is close to service park where You can get just by walking.

    No snow as such, only the usual tricky hidden or not black ice patches.

    Latest forecast doesn't predict snow in Ardeche stages. Temperatures below zero during the night but around +5°C during the day.

    Hi, we are also going to Montre for the rally. We are arriving on 19-th in the evening so we are missing the two days around Valence. On 20-th we will try to watch 2 out of 3 stages (ss 12 and ss 13). On saturday I think it's possible to watch only 2 stages and on sunday there's only the powerstage. We have booked an apartment in Nice because it's very close to Monte Carlo and to saturday and sunday stages. You can also rent a car from Nice airport or from the city of Nice. Have an enjoyable rally!
