[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2021

[Tom206wrc]

News from that:
- only 2 Fiesta WRCs, Rally2 fiesta without announced driver

-Fourmaux not listed, so it is not sure whether he runs in Rally2 or WRC

- no Østberg in C3 ( but he can also pick other rallies)

-Mikkelsen in Fabia (so unlikely to be involved with MSport, at least at start of 2021)

Oh no I was hoping for the presence of Mads Östberg(he could do well on the Monte roads)

i hope they make exceptions, otherwise im afraid it would be cancelled

You can still go to and from work, and actually work.

I thought that just our government is so stupid (we have a curfew already from the end of October), but now I see there are also other idiot#** imposing restrictions to ordinary people....

Greater restrictions are happening everywhere with new-variant Covid infections rising rapidly. But they are mostly required because idiot people wont abide by the existing instructions to stay safe.

And the curfew wont stop the RMC, it will just be further adapted.

What is the supposed benefit of the time curfew method of restriction though? Doesn't it just mean more people are out for the few hours in the day they're allowed out, rather than spread out through the day/evening?

[Mirek]

Here they said it was to prevent people hanging together and drinking but in the winter it makes little sense when it's cold outside and the pubs are closed anyway. But to be honest little of what is being done makes sense. Small shops where few people come are forcefully closed, meanwhile large supermarkets are kept opened etc.

Anddddd more encouraging news!

New 6 week national lockdown in the UK, will M-Sport even be able to travel if the rally goes ahead?!

What a f*ckfest.
