Well - we can count hours, instead of days up to 76th under the start account rally championship. The first rally of a season is especially exciting, as while everybody is at the start point it is very important to make right first step. Rally Monte Carlo is a lottery, the unique combination of asphalt, snow and ice - as always will introduce an unexpectedness element. Service-park will settle down for 3 first days in Valence, near to Rhone river, and for final day will move to Monaco Automobile club's General Headquarters of the organizer of rally.
Guileful 365 km of the road is waiting for crews. This year there will be 2 night stages (on Thursday), for one day rally comes back again to the legendary pass Col de Turini, known by many fans. In 2007 it has been excluded from the route, this year it has been decided to rectify that unfortunate error.
In the end organizers have reserved a high-speed finish on Monaco Grand Prix line.
The weather - is a corner stone. It is expected cold weather and snow, but whether it will be? Therefore as always it is important to guess with rubber. Do you remember, that starting with this year teams use Pirelli? For Monte Carlo there are three types of tyre covers on a choice: sleek DS, snow WX without thorns and WX with thorns.
