Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

[pantealex]

R classes should be allowed to run narrower wintertyres than WRCar, to create some interesting results.

but to be honost, all rallycars should be allowed narrower wintertyres. Many people that drives much on snow chooses to buy narrower wintertyres from a safety perspective. Same should apply to rally cars.

Production of narrow (16") studded tyres is ending (or even ended)

Here is story from AKK (Finlands motorsport federation) http://www.autourheilu.fi/uutiset/ta...tavat-renkaat/

2WD cars use a lot narrower tyres than WRC cars in Monte. It has been like that for years.

At least that stage is not in the itinerary

It was a great stage though and it was used this year for a lot of tests

Oh man I remember watching that live. Awesome years.

I was on that stage close to the finish (with Pluto). There was a lot of fresh snow, we got even stuck on the way to our spot. First cars had it very difficult (I think Wittmann and Alén) and then there was the gap with no Meeke and no Hänninen coming. Later we learned they crashed nearly on the same spot. That brought a massive disappointment.

EDIT: Ups, I speak about different Meeke's accident from a year before, sorry

Hopefully they won't disappoint us this year

That in WRC is not pushing the car that much. In gpN evo with strong ALS when you release your foot from throttle car is still moving, similar with R5,

You mean that for some tenths when the driver is on the brakes the car <pushes >the throttle on its own?????i am a bit confused!
