Nice day looking for spectator spots, stage 7/9 looks amazing :cool:

Service park is a bit crap and poorly laid out. Its like Citroen have been shoved in a corner out the way, while the other teams are randomly spread around.

Hyundai Motorsport has an indoor spectator area where everyone will be welcome to watch the cars being serviced from tomorrow!

About time the Brits were back at Monte Carlo... :laugh:

http://www.ralsys.com/irally_admin/news_images/Victor%20Bruce%20copy75.jpg
The first British Monte winner, the Hon. Victor Bruce with his Autocarrier (later AC) in 1926

Good history from iRally:
The event has only been won six times by UK drivers. It’s half a century since Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon won the 1964 Monte in an original Mini: 46 years since Vic Elford and David Stone won the 1968 event in a Porsche 911.

Elford was the last British driver to win the rally: victory at Monte Carlo eluded Roger Clark, and world champions Colin McRae and Richard Burns.. :eek:

Inside rear wheel lifting a bit too much under braking on the i20?

[Mirek]

Yes, it looks a bit odd, like on S1600...

[noel157]

Yes, it looks a bit odd, like on S1600...

Yep, just like a FWD car.

[miniwintz]

Too much mass on the front? Front shocks too soft? Rear shocks too hard? Could be numerous reasons but you are right, something seems definitely wrong.

Looks like the rear is very hard. Similar thing I remember with 207 S2000 which I believe was designed by same designer as the i20 (Bertrand Vallat).

[dimviii]

Inside rear wheel lifting a bit too much under braking on the i20?

generally from videos so far we ve see so far from tests,i20 seems to be build/setup like a ds3 and not with so big suspension travel like fiesta/ polo.
lets wait to see it live tomorrow at stages with same circumstances as the other cars.

[Francis44]

In the last video from the same channel the problem seems to have been adressed, it's not exactly the same angle but I think the improvement is visible.

[dimviii]

Bryan Bouffier: " I forgot to put the boost at the first passage and the second was caught François Delecour who was driving nails, so it was rather an average morning. We are fighting against many official teams, already a top 5 would be great. I felt very comfortable with the car from the beginning. This is a very easy and healthy car, it moves a little faster in but it will . "
Mads Ostberg: " To be honest, it's nice to be official driver in the team we see that it works hard. The car is perfect asphalt here. I really enjoyed the moment . For me, this is a new way to control the behavior of the car is different, as the gearbox and engine. We need to change a lot of things . "
Yves Matton: " The objective is not to play to win. Both drivers have little experience here WRC Kris Meeke only 10 departures a WRC. It will grow slowly for pilots take control car. You can have a Monte Carlo with changing a mile to the other portions.
Both championships remain significant with the WTCC. It is sure that we are not in a position to win a championship but we can still make some shots bursts . "

[dimviii]

Michelin’s top drivers have a choice of four types of tyre for this year’s Rallye Monte-Carlo, namely a snow tyre with or without studs, plus ‘soft’ and ‘super-soft’ versions of the firm’s asphalt tyre. The RC1 priority drivers have a total allocation of 82 tyres to choose from (24 softs, 24 super-softs, 24 studded snow tyres and 10 snow tyres without studs) but may only use 40 on the rally.
Engineers from Michelin Motorsport and their counterparts at Michelin’s Technology Centre have develop a new compound for the Alpin 4 snow tyre which combines enhanced performance with improved longevity, especially on dry roads. This solution is recommended when the proportion of snow and/or ice on a stage exceeds 20%. If used, it will most likely be employed in its studded form.
The regulations concerning the studs themselves have changed slightly compared with 2013, since the number of studs per tyre has come down from 240 to 200. The maximum overall stud length is 15mm, of which only 2mm may protrude from the tread blocks.

Agree. Is it so difficult and costly to show and update shakedown times and some short texts on the official site, like Dakar have been doing?
Instead we have to follow 10 websites, 20 forums, 30 twitter accounts and 40 facebook pages at once in order to collect a mosaic from small bits of information

Not far wrong. Twitter especially, out of every 20 tweets 2 are good and the other 18 are re-tweets of the first 2...

This forum is the best for all info.

Go to results and stage splits for 2013, click on any link and.....and........and you get 2014 page with the message "DATA WILL BE AVAILABLE ONCE THE RALLY STARTS" LOL

[stefanvv]

Is there a site that normally follows the SD, or does it differ from rally to rally?

Where are the final for MC, I have seen different numbers on different sites!
Usually it is http://www.best-of-rallylive.com/, I'm quite surprised there are no shakedown times for Monte.

[newfrank]

@dimviii Are there more sites with snow? Have you this info? Thanks ;)

[bluuford]

Tomorrow weather should be mostly 0..+3 degrees in the morning and a bit higher in the afternoon (on the stages). Rain should start in the morning as the stages start and then get stronger as the day progresses. Stage 3 and 6 (last in the loop) is on the highest elevation and there is a big risk that 30-50% of the stage might be covered by fresh and wet snow (in the morning). So, the faster will be the one who is the fastest after stage 3, do not make conclusions after first or second stage.

Edit: +35 cm more snow predicted for the top of Turini during tomorrow :-)

Finally a nice shakedown stage for Monte, infact for WRC rally held in France:-)

Can anyoone explain what's the meaning of that N in the Hyundais?

[Mirek]

Can anyoone explain what's the meaning of that N in the Hyundais?

It's a new sport division, something like STi for Subaru. The N refers to Namyang R&D.

Hmm ok, thanks!

[jparker]

My point is, if he was there, he wouldn't have so much time for internet :D
On the serious note, looks like from the videos Hyundai is moderate fast enough for top 5 result, but not quite there yet for podium. But we shall see, anything can happen at Monte.

PS: But this cannot beat live impression for sure

[Allyc85]

@Mintex or Dimviii or anyone else at Shakedown - impressions of the i20? Ive seen the handful of vids on here but want to hear what you guys made of the hyundai seeing it live on the stage?

From what I saw today stood next to Mintex, it just seemed to be lacking a little bit in all areas, though not by much. Of course there might be more to come yet! It looks and sounds good though!

[pettersolberg29]

Yehh I'm there with Ally and Mintex and agree. Look and sound great - but just not 100% on it yet as is to be expected I guess. Sordo was a bit disappointing. Looks like they'll be aiming for top 5 more than podium at this stage. Still interesting to see Bouffier's true pace after the mess up today! Excited for tomorrow - seeing ES1/4 and ES3/6 - both have good spots, and potential for snow on ES3 in the morn! Will post updates tomorrow night.

Thanks Allyc85 and pettersolberg29 :). Yeah car does sound good from ive heard/seen on vids. As long as the car isn't massively off the pace like say the suzuki sx4 was il be happy. Maybe the hyundai will be around the pace the Mini was when it made its debut or just a little behind that in competitiveness?

[pettersolberg29]

Funnily enough I was gonna say it reminded me of the Mini in a way - not quite as competitive perhaps, especially not in Sordo's hands, but we'll see over a whole rally length!

[Francis44]

Aren't they supposed to build a completely new car for next year based on the new I20? If so all they really have to do this year is gather data and further develop the components.

[Rallyper]

First measure comes in sweden when power really counts. RMC is not (if weather conditions will be as predicted) the best rally to make an assessment of the i20.

Good point but shakedown was a tight layout where handling and speed out of corners was at a premium. On similar tyre choices with standard conditions throughout (dry with frozen mud turning to wet mud through the last half of the session). I don't think s/d will be representative of the whole rally but it did show the VW and Citroen combos are better at this time.

For sure. RMC SD tody was an indicator which told us very much of the state right now of the WRC-cars. And it looks that something lacks on the i20.

Let´s hope though they are not so far from pace...

[noel157]

Even if they are a bit off the pace initially they'll soon catch up.

Yes, that´s right. But we´ve seen other things too, but timing. But as said. Rally Sweden will tell more...

[Mirek]

Why is Meeke so far behind in the starting order?

Probably because of his "result" in 2013 season. There is no qualification in WRC this year, only in ERC.


What is the weather forecast for tomorrow?

According to post of Bluuford from some previous page there is a high probability of snow around Col de Perty on SS3/SS6. Otherwise wet if I remember.

[RS]

Well guys the 2014 season starts in the morning and I think there are many interesting things to follow, even if Ogier and VW will almost certainly be champions again.

I hope the new Citroen boys will be able to compete for podiums at least and I hope Mikko gets his mojo back; I've never been his biggest fan but he is not as bad as he showed the last two years. It would be really nice if he and M-Sport could win at least one event this year.

I'm expecting Mikkelsen and Kubica to further improve throughout the year, neither are both fully ready yet but by the end of the year maybe things will start to come together?

Hyundai, I guess Neuville's first win won't come this year but if the 2015 car is good then maybe they can compete with VW eventually.

[er88]

LOL f*cking ridiculous to have prokop running so high up the order - ahead of mikkelsen, meeke, delecour and even bouffier :angryfire. Why cant some sense not be included when making these decisions ...having delecour behind this 'random guy' is very stupid. Meeke and delecour could also be severely hampered or greatly benefit from running far back if weather changes quickly.

Yet wrc.com has split for him? :eek:

WTF? I can see him -4,5 on splits?

[jonkka]

He's off allright but not before the first split, that's wrong report

[Negaiss]

Splits are not working corectly, they are very late and no more green and red feature. Very disapointed!

[jonkka]

Then again, that off is no wonder with the speed that first split proves...

[dimviii]

do we know vw boys tyre choices?

[jonkka]

Splits are not working corectly, they are very late and no more green and red feature. Very disapointed!

Yup and no more possibility to compare times to a driver of your choice. I wonder why they dropped the display code/technology that was proven and worked (except when splits themselves didn't work).

[hari]

Splits are quite useless again - a pitty.

[Dug83]

New year same sh*t splits!!!!!

[dimviii]

Then again, that off is no wonder with the speed that first split proves...

cause Ostberg has also same 1st split maybe an error from Ogier? Lets wait for stage times to see if according to splits.

[jonkka]

You guys are never happy

[jonkka]

cause Ostberg has also same 1st split maybe an error from Ogier? Lets wait for stage times to see if according to splits.

Yeah, I watched that split in astonishment as well... Time will tell but Monte can spring incredible times on you...

[Mirek]

Huuuuge gaps on 3rd split....

[jonkka]

There is no split 2, most don't have time on split 3 but on 4 the gap's already huge...

Not A Number?

does Ogier hit wall at first corner? (according rally radio)

[er88]

Can i just say JML wouldve been a world champion if he hired a psychologist a few yrs ago, he had the speed but was mentally fragile. Nowadays he doesn't even have that superb raw speed - plus Ogier keeps crushing his fragile confidence more and more :(

I don't have access to WRC coverage. But is the time by Kubica correct?

[TyPat107]

I have work in a few hours and should be sleeping but that stage was exciting! I hope things stay this way and ogier has a challenge this year.

Nice job kubica and bouffier! Meeke please make the finish!

[MartijnS]

Ogier Sébastien - Ingrassia Julien "Very tough, I am first on the road… Not an easy job"

Justice in a sport?

Loeb took some championships 1st on road, and while he had a difference from Fords you was pushing him with clear road,not allowing him to relax even with minutes diff from Fords.This was much more difficult job.
Stop moaning and drive Ogier.
