Rallye Wrc Monte Carlo 2012
 

The program road is now out

Programme du Rallye Wrc Monte-Carlo 2012

6 days of rallying...wow a true festival !!! but i think having 2 stages on 1 day and 1 stage on the final day might lead into cancellations and problems since the spectators have no choice to spread out on many stages......

Nice schedule. Shame there are no proper stages live like in the last few years, that was one of the tv highlights of the year for me.

Agree. To me having 1 or two stages on a day in the middle of the rally or the last day of the rally isn't rallying either. But some don't seem to mind.

Olivier Quesnel in Imola (during the ILMC 6 Hours) told that North One Sport will make in Alsace a TV-test for the future web-tv!!! Who knows... =)

+1

Obviously a fresh and encouraging approach, but it lacks enough stages to be a five-day event. Hope they crank it up even more in 2013.

Time to get back to Monte then http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...es/biggrin.gif

Not sure about the Power stage on the Sunday morning - why not finish it on the Saturday night? If there is only one stage live - it's hardly progress is it?
However, it's a start to hopefully a better WRC.

I guess it's before the finish ceremony at the palace is always on Sunday around midday.

Maybe there's not only a stage broadcasted live...

Rally Monte Carlo reveals full route for 2012 WRC event

Rally Monte Carlo reveals full route for 2012 WRC event - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

are those stage lenghts in miles ? or in Kms ? because if they are in miles then its going to be a huge event....very demanding...nice.

Those are indeed some hefty stages if they really are listed in miles. Live coverage this year was better than anything I could have hoped for (along with Eurosport putting it on their website) and it's loss will be greatly missed. How many if any of these stages will be run at night? Along with some stages I thought that was one reason the organizers were happy with the IRC.

Stages are basically same with IRC route, just driven almost all from those years, not only a selection.

SS1/3 and SS2/4 were run last year, also first day, just each one only once.
SS5/8 must be similar to the one run in last WRC years and twice in IRC (Sarrazin off at a bridge for example). SS6/9 is run every year. SS7/10 was run in previous years also, just not in 2010.
SS11 and SS12 should be same with last year (snow disaster) but mostly I don't like them as the majority is wide and too fast. SS13 is classic of previous years, always used as connection stage on the road from Valence to Monaco.
SS14/16 and SS15/17 is night classic around Turini. This year I can see only one section is in the dark and not so late...
I don't know the power stage.

Update program include kilometers and timetable special stage Programme du Rallye Wrc Monte-Carlo 2012

So they're all long stages (big plus), but only two will be around sundown and one (Turini, thank goodness) in the dark. Assuming everything runs on time, of course.

This is news to me. The Monte Carlo Rally is back? WAHOO!
