Menton
And a traditional scenario. Like in the Czech Republic in June. It rains in the evening. Today so much that the bike remained in the central parking lot. And under the bridge, where it is dry and you can sit down, I thought I would record the rest of the walking route.
Alessio finds Gianni with there AMG.
At lunch
Another step in the fight against YouTubers. A barrier is growing around the hotel. The wilderness and the chase of the last year is increasingly on the defensive. These people are deeply convinced that MC was built for them and must allow them to make money. I would say that celebrities are boycotting Place du Casino because of them anyway.
And the best job in France. Their ambassador is returning, perhaps, from the opening of the carnival in Nice.
But only ET consul, so probably definitely from Marseille. But the imagination worked, the color… until the C…
I looked at how it looked a year ago. And my hunch came true. The week before last year 46 (+-0). So two weeks in a row this year +9.
After three exceptional weeks, no news today.
Charles gradually brought the entire fleet in for service. This time the flagship SP-3 Daytona. He must have 16. And they probably didn’t have any anymore so they gave him an X for veterans.
Centre Comerciel, apart from the Carrefour hypermarket, had a lot of small shops. And one of them was the shops of private individuals from MC. Such a homely atmosphere in the otherwise cold greenhouse MC. And now it’s over. It supposedly has to be reconstructed. And who will come? Bet on it. The same shops as everywhere in Europe, wherever you are. Today there was a demonstration and a signature campaign. So they have one from CZ.
Otherwise, Carrefour MC-Fontvieille is the 3rd best for me. 2nd place is Esselunga Verona. And the absolute largest selection of everything exclusively excellent quality Migros, Balexert, Geneve. The plum cake from here is probably the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted.
They probably can’t decide where to go.
Carlos goes to visit Charles.
MC has a third of the bus drivers young women. All pretty. Some extremely.
1 point short of the weekly record. And really DZ. When I looked at my phone…
Nochmal sensationelle Woche 55 (+-0). Es fehltte nur IRL. Aber auch GBG, GBM…
Japan J, 2026 Premiere
E and GR removed it. Some went home with it. Some destroyed their Lp while removing it.
Detective work. Among other things, the crew card helped. There is also the car’s Lp.
In the evening I find everything stripped. Mr. Sato struck another blow during the night stage.
Takuma Sató, in the days of F1. As you can see, they are still at Honda. They were de facto factory cars. Next time I wouldn’t give him such a beautiful Civic. But thanks. You saved the rallye.
Historic cars with obscured LPs. Takuma Sato, former F1 driver, if he doesn’t do it himself, I’ll tear down that abomination myself.
I’m very curious tomorrow to see who will keep the decoration and who will remove it. I wouldn’t come again.
Libya Nr. 3, probably first. Premiere 2026.
The last Ford Escort to arrive from John O’Groats, straight from the production line.
Riley, Singer, Hillman, Sunbeam…From the northernmost point of mainland GB, John O’Groats brought back the old glory days. Beatles, Twigi and many now-defunct car brands.
Kazachstan KZ, old, Premiere 2 letters on end
The GBZ is run by a hottie, about 30 years old. I’m guessing her name is Gaia. That’s definitely a nice name.
BY after a two-week outage. In the evening, it started to rain unplanned and the occurrence of UA to the rest of the world increased to 1:1.
All I’m missing now is the W with the date.
One of the cars that never ceased to amaze me. The brutal, roaring V12 Ferrari Daytona.
In a secret underground garage with a massive grille. I remember that journey through the maze from the time of discovery.
No, no. CZ, driver UA, made in PL.
Is Corsica interesting? And they have a pink W and WW date.
Here is a very rare NMK, the latest addition to an unexpectedly record-breaking week.
Superwoche 55 (+1). Keine BY, BIH u. RKS. Ich erwartete RMC Teilnehmer aus RUS. Voriges Jahres noch mit BY tempor. Diesmal vertrieben komplet.
I’ve seen so many cars here that I’m not impressed by anything. Lancia Montecarlo HF. I remember Clarkson writing in his book. He was surprised at how small it was. And he immediately wanted it desperately. But the owner wouldn’t sell it to him.
Another point in the weekly review.
Today I returned to an amazing discovery. You can carefully walk to the back. I have a feeling that it is an extremely rare LP and also very expensive. Just because you removed it from the front.
Otherwise it seemed so sleepy that at 2 pm to Nice. Nice CdA only a little less depressing than last time. At least the TR truck was there.
In Beaulieu, an abandoned, forgotten CDN.
Tomorrow, a hundred MC starters will start arriving. Everyone, including those who started elsewhere, will then arrive in Valence. And in the end, everything will arrive here.
Speaking of rallies. In Finland, there is the Lapland Rally, with almost the same number of participants as the WRC. They have minus 23 and the cars cannot be seen through the snow barriers. 2nd overall so far is Essapeka Lappi/ Anni Mälkönen on a Škoda. Yes, that’s the one who drove with Sami Pajari on a Toyota. And he couldn’t stand the fact that she was more popular. And Hyundai reached out to her. In Sweden, they will drive with WRC 1.
Anni Mälkönen and Oliver Solberg Škoda/ Toyota, New rally star. Rallye is going up immensely in popularity. All SS lined with crowds. 25 thousand spectators in MC in the pouring rain at SSS.
The only police force in the world that drives foreign license plates.
Avenue Princesse Grace, the most expensive street in Europe. Rightfully so.
Today’s only addition to the weekly ranking.
Is something happening around Mohamed Hamdy? Is a new parade coming up?
From January 2025
Without even knowing it existed. Gibraltar person. First on www.
A look into the crack by the wall caused astonishment.
???
In any case, beautiful. Thanks in advance for the clarification. Probably crazy Q.
Meanwhile
Nicolas Osika at first glance: Australia AUS, Queensland, 2 years Premiere
raphael would have told us too, but I was already very curious, so I sent her out into the world.
and a Mediterranean-type downpour in the afternoon.
Morning waiting for rain in Menton, surprising 23 states.
Afternoon in MC. Ghost town. Only locked cars left in the garage. That’s MC. Someone parks an Aston Martin and never remembers it.
An Austrian group is demolishing the Red Bull building. So I asked if they were going to Sweden in 14 days. But only with a tent. You probably won’t enjoy the weather like that there, I say.And then he started naming other places. So sie haben also ganzes Jahr viel zu tun I say.
Guernsey again.
One surprise after another.
Countries: 41
Roberto Daprá (I) finally 1. Škoda. 2. Eric Camilli from Nice. Both in the top ten.
Nikolaj Grjazin in the top ten after the accident. Practically no one escaped. Daprá has to step down and the technical commissioner will go in his place for inspection.
Cody Walker, an American actor, came to watch too.
Ganz aussergewöhnliche Woche 54 (+6). Keine BY, NMK, MNE, AL u. N, aber z.B. GBJ, GBG, GBM, GBZ! Das ist nicht jede Woche.
The Budapest-Bamako rally started on Friday at 10 a.m. Many did not miss our village.
Lots of snow just above MC.
I had no illusions about SSS Monaco before. Today at 2 pm the first ones were waiting for the start at 6.35 pm. When I returned to the port at this time, there were tens of thousands of people standing in the pouring rain on the impassable sidewalks. Exactly what I absolutely hate.
Now even Toyota’s generals have figured it out. With us workers.
Newly appeared F Lp blueberry cocktail color.
Florida will probably stay here forever.
As promised. There’s snow above and fans with flares.
Sensational Oliver Solberg. First start in WRC 1 and first position.
Sensational Nikolaj Grjazin. With a new car he got to the lead of WRC2. Probably the best driver of the moment.
Sensational Eric Camilli from Nice. He led WRC2 for a long time in a Škoda Fabia. His car and all service are from CZ Orsák Rallye Sport.
The MC doesn’t just have an underground pedestrian highway, but also a network of corridors and elevators. This is absolutely key to where you need to go. Left? Right?
It won’t go to the rally. It will end up in a collection.
The car is ready. They’re shortening the wait for the owner with a film about it.
Made in Monaco superbike and Charles in the service. F1 drivers are the most frequent visitors to the repair shop. Of course, a consumer car is not perfect like an F1. The rest of us would not know about any problems.
Until yesterday it was right next to RR. Confirmed today. Egypt ET.
Youtubers hyenas, to make money for the hundredth time, they put a 3-year-old video with UA.
I pity people who believe that something is current on youtube. So 1%. And often stolen.
So I wouldn’t stoop to that.
but it was completely empty. I would have gone to Nice. But there was a threat of showers. But I can’t say that I was looking forward to a totally empty airport.
The main road was closed. The Super Special Stage will be held there on Saturday. So that was the only chance to get to know the tracks, at least in the support cars.
When I think about what was happening this time last year?! Primož Roglič, a visit to Charles’s mom, a hug from President Ben Sulayem, Max Verstappen, Christjan Albers with Project One, Mohamed Hamdy, Lando Norris…
And all that mess. Spanish gunslingers, Gianni from Naples, Kate, etc. “That will never happen again”, I said. Yes, some are banned from entering the MC, others are banned from entering the Place du Casino.
When I walk there in the evening, peace, order – I like that.
But then a wave of memories comes…
Woche 48 (-3). Keine TR, MNE u. RKS.
Charles looked focused, Alexandra leaned against the side window, looking angry. All of this remains hidden behind the glare for the mobile phone. But the eyes saw.
slightly positive tones.
ALIK10 a další přátelé rallye. Je týden do startu a roste nám tady městečko jako když je F1. Osobně jsem nadšen z velkoplošné obrazovky , kde budeme live sledovat RZ. Col de Turini live. tak to bude něco. Ledové peklo a tifossi se světlicemi a nahrnutým sněhem…
