[WRC] 91e Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo (16-22 January 2023)

[Googol]

Forecast looks very cold, but likely no snowing. However, there seems to be some snow/ice in some places already.

So it is still allowed. Then i don't understand why they are not all doing it all the time. Seems like a great rule to get around the stupid testing regations.

Why do you think it is a stupid rule?

It's a different thing to drive 8 separate special stages than drive the same road 20-40 times during the day. Both have their benefits and disadvantages, but if you want to compare setups, it's better to stay on the same road. I would say this is more about Katsuta getting experience for Sweden. They could test on snow in their permanent testing area anyway (if the snow situation improves soon)

i think is as easy as asking for permission from the rally organizer

Yes but to avoid the chsnce of them saying no, as long as France isn’t the country of the championship round, then you don’t have to ask and can test as much as you like (non manufacturer entries anyway).

I came up with an idea to present the route of Monte on a video, hope you like it.

reported with rally1, rally2 is nowhere near competition form...

Presume was wrong word, bcs I´m sure I read it somewhere yesterday.
Probably my bad...
Edit: searched for the quote, and found it was saying Rally1. So my bad.

Yaris rally2 wasn't homologated yet, so can not compete
