[WRC] Monza Rally 2020

[ferrial]

It maybe as easy as the rescue vehicles not having tires/chains to come in case someone gets injured. Not a weather to fly rescue helis in. (due to icing, not visibility)

Also if it really got high with snow (10+ cm) you could even risk cars not making it up the hill on wet tires.

It's winter, rescue vehicles should have the correct tires/chains. How is organising this rally different from organising Monte?

I said it already. This sport, Wrc and Fia are fucking joke nowadays.

I said it already, that you are one line grumpy idiot.

At this point you know pretty nothing on why it was cancelled. All we know is that in last 2 stages we got 3 WRC crashes, 1 of which could have ended really bad.

Cancelling stages due to weather being too bad has been done forever (remember Portugal 1998 or so?). Corsica multiple times as well in last 20 years.
This is not an off-road survival competition.

Monte has been held for over a century. Monza organizers for sure never organized a snow event. Sad but when FIA selected Monza as a WRC round they had to consider the risk connected with that.

Yes, that is the most likely reason for cancelation. Not the WRC tyres but the inability to reach them with ambulance in case they crash hard. It's not the first time we would have stage canceled exactly for that. And it happened also on rallies without snow.

Yes, gentelmens, it's easy to throw comments to forum with hot head, but let's get the actual argumentation first.

Of course it does not change anything for Elfyn anymore and it's not favoring Lappi at all.

This is start of December in Italy, mostly below 800 meters. Not normal weather there at all, I lived in that area for some time and talked to locals today.
Monte is higher up in mountains and has been run like that for 50 years or so.

What would they do if someone living there got a heart attack? Wait till spring to come and get them?

The rescue vehicles should have the best tyres of them all here.

Looking at the webcam in the middle of SS12 at about 1200m they seem to get snow every year

Exactly. Nothing unusual to have snow there.
