    Hi
    We are looking at coming to our first Monte next yr and have a few questions.
    Would you advise getting winter tyres 100% as I am struggling to find any hire car company that have them?
    All I can get is snow chains!
    I have never fitted snow chains are they hard and time consuming to fit?
    Is it too cold to sleep in the car and are there places close to the stages to park car overnight?
    Is it possible to park on the road after the stage finish overnight and walk in to the stage?
    thanks

    it's difficult to find winter tyres if you rent a car from south.if you want to stay to the car overnight a caravan could be the solution.

    Hi,
    me and my mate used to sleep in Renault 19 in 2008 Monte. It was ok, but there was practically no snow that year. With 50cm of snow everywhere and 1m snowbanks on the side of the road, or rain all weekend it would be a tough one.

    Cold is not so big problem, you should have a good sleeping bag and over it you put all spare clothes you have... Midnight bathroom routine ... but standing on the top of Turini... priceless.

    Try it, it is tricky, but at right age, an experience worth trying...

    Sadly Turini isn't anymore what it used to be. After the return in WRC they enlarged the safety no-go zones and don't run it till midnight. The nights there in the short IRC era were great but now I would strongly prefer Col Saint Roch even though it's run uphill this year and it's not clear where the stage ends to me.

    It looks like the M-Sport test was held on the stage Moutauban sur L'Ouvéze which was one of the most spectacular ones during IRC years. I think it was Ogier's home stage. I was spectating there in all IRC editions and have the best memories about it

    Love that conditions, maybe i will tell something controversial, but if necessary start WRC in year before to garantee snow, i will agree
