Im sure that after the stage is over the co drivers can cut the sound so you cant hear what they're saying in the car to eachother, if they don't particularly want you to hear. Paul Nagle is usually very quick to do that after the flying finish ;)

For sure it can create a mess in results but also unfortunately if it's just a fraction of the whole stage it will be veeery boring to spectate there. All top drivers will go through on snail speed, only later will come some show with worse drivers who will start crashing and spinning here and there.
Toyota has made white stripes to Tänak's mirrors but i think it isnt enough. When watching the vids of shakedown yesterday then it is basically impossible to make a difference between the Toyota drivers.
Big yellow sticker on Breen's steering wheel ?

yes to remind him that he has installed the radiator mask.
The stripes easily add 5 hp..
It has nothing to "WRC dislike". There is start of the new season, everybody is hungry for rally after long break. Yesterday lot of people were trying to follow shakedown, today lot of people were searching for some stream from ceremonial start in Monaco. And what wrc.com or wrc+ did? Almost nothing. Despite it had great potential to make people more interesting and to make bigger promotion for wrc+
Indeed it's a wasted opportunity in my opinion. All the hype and excitement about the new season was wasted instead of taken advantage of. You have to wonder if it was a logistic issue that they could not be ready with coverage for shakedown and the start or they simply thought people wouldn't be interested.
If you look at F1 they milk the preseason as much as they can to keep people engaged. Each car launch is an event and even preseason testing gets covered. Sure F1 has way more reach but ignoring the first official outing of the new season (Monte shakedown) and the ceremonial start won't help things. It would have been a perfect opportunity to do a relaxed preview (during shakedown) where you could see the cars but the commentators could talk in a more relaxed manner, maybe they could tell us what town Kris Meeke is from! They could show those "what you had for breakfast" interviews during the ceremonial start and leave just racing for the real stages. But no, they ignored it.
Maybe being Monaco it has some special ban on coverage in the Principality and only allows it for local TV ?
All of the actual stages are in France so no problem there..
The Rally Guru's joke. :-)

Is anybody else listening to WRC radio? I just tuned for the end of Latvala's interview :(

Info by @FlorianBernardi #WRC #RallyeMonteCarlo opener
ES1: moisture initially, then dry up to the Col de Fontbelle. 2.4 km of ice at this place. Descent to the wet finish.
ES2: Many wet parts. 2nd half of special with a bit of gravette.
Indeed, same for me :D
I will follow the rally at work too.... Can't promise I'll be very concentrated on my work though :p
Planetmarcus will have a live stream from ss1 here

@Michelin_Sport
The Stop Control at the end of SS1 is ready. The temperature isnt far off 10°C and the road is dry. Apparently there is about 3km of rutted ice at Col de Fontbelle (around 1300m). But tyre choice will depend on the conditions over SS1 and SS2 combined. #RallyemonteCarlo #WRC
The Sisteron-Thoard stage has seen some drama over the years but this is the first time it is running from Thoard to Sisteron since 1981. It wont be any easier! Lots of spectators! #WRC #RallyeMonteCarlo
any link?
Let's hope spectator safety is improved this year...
