[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2021

[Rallyper]

Lets not waste too much time comparing a sport that happens in a closed, controllable stadium with a WRc event.

How many people are involved in running a football or basketball game? A few hundred?

There would be quite a few thousand involved in the running a WRC event.
- on public roads
- using police
- using ambulances
- using medical helicopter
- using marshals
- bringing people from all over the world

etc etc

You can't compare the scale of one to another.....

Not on the same spot though...

They do this every year. In Australia it was also common for many years.

However this year the arguments are different and very understandable.

I will be at Monte Carlo as ice-note crew. I will try to put updates before every stage about the conditions, on our facebook page (search for Benoit Verlinde Rallydriver).

so you confirm now it will go ahead 100%?

Nobody can confirm it now. For sure also Dupanton

For now, no indication by the organisers it wouldn't go ahead.
But as PLuto says, it's not me who decides It's not even ACM I guess...

French government just announced even more severe rules (curfew at 1800 in all off France, quarantine for all travellers from outside EU...).
It's looking worse and worse honestly...
