Who had the bright idea of ERC/ WRC clashing events. Personally, I'd go to Valais. Remember 2008 when it was the first IRC event with Live coverage.

Who cares about the boring Rally de Catalunya? That is for sure the most boring event in the WRC for years in my opinion. The stages in the Rallye du Valais were much more better, there are more candidate winners, the scenery is fantastic, the weather is changeable and there can 3 marques win in the ERC, while in the WRC it is only Volkswagen. The win for Hyundai in Germany was very lucky and they don't have the speed to win another event this season.

Damn, no hire car being available anywhere in southern France (long story) has put paid to my attempts to get there, but now I'm very hyped up. Is the only coverage available for this the usual Eurosport 30 minute roundups?

Even no Europcar that can help you?

Yes, the only coverage on TV for Valais is the Eurosport 30 minute roundups and on Tuesday evening a review of the rally in 30 minutes. Of course there is also the ERC website.

Yep, not Europcar, not Hertz, not Sixth, not Avis and no one else either it seems. Pity, as it looks like it's going to be superb from these pictures, deserves more than half an hour of attention!

A question to someone knowing... is the stage high on the mountain ski slopes in the itinerary? I mean the one which was nearly undriveable in 2012.

no

Every year there is also lot of coverage on Swiss TV. I think this year it will be the same...

It is really strange. Why you are not going directly to Swiss? There is no problem to rent the cars here in Swiss. And I was just in contact with Avis and there is no problem to rent a car in Lyon...

I had a little time to check the weather forecast and it looks like it is currently snowing on some stages (starting from elevation 900 m). today in the afternoon the temperature drops and it can be as low as -5..-6 on Friday morning at some stages. After that it becomes much warmer (+10..+15) and there should be no snow left by Friday afternoon. And it will be all sunny until the end of rally.
