F1 stars polished their handles and finally the rally arrived

I haven’t seen this anywhere outside of GB.

I was having lunch with Antonio (that’s the one on the right) at the port when his phone : Lando Norris is upstairs.

Before Lando went shopping with his brother and their girls at Richard Mille, I was looking through the Tiffani window. The boys were looking around with sharp eyes for prey. And across the street they spotted Carlos Sainz.

How it continues. Quickly down. The GO luxury rally is just arriving.

Sometimes instinct and intuition win. Today I was just ride for free . It’s not too much if you can ask right away. “Is that Lando girlfriend from here from MC?”. “No, she’s Portuguese”. I obviously didn’t remember the name.

Remembering the Japanese participation in RMC historique

There are no words for this.

Porsche 908, Porsche 917 from Jo Siffert. Winner of 24 h Daytona, 12 h Sebring…

 

The price for 1 piece is 5,000,000 USD.

What kind of rally is this without Czechs?

Where there is a rally (and beer) there are Czechs. This year they were absent for the first time. Also no one from NL, P, IRL, S, A …

Only one copilot Šťastný (Happy) with the CH flag.

It’s not the same without Japan

Today 3x AL. They already dragged it on C. Ford Anglia. They said she played in Harry Potter. My favorite Emma Watson certainly played there. But first she hung huge in a cosmetics advertisement in the center of Prague. And J. Rowlings certainly wrote it all. A brave woman in the fight against all those delusions that we, like a stupid herd, accepted and kept quiet. Now E. Musk has supported her. I hope this is all just the beginning.

Gradually all participants of the RMC historique are returning to the MC. Even those who started in Turin, Reims and Bad Homburg. I didn’t even realize how much this event depends on the Japanese expedition. The F/I championship did not and does not get me into the right mood.

The first messenger from New America arrived

Missed in the sea of ​​scooters. Luckily, the has an oval USA. So at least I’m relatively calm. After 10 minutes, he returns to our convenience store for pizza. New Hampshire, Premiere blog. First expedition of the year. London-Turin.

I’ve already returned to lunch on the other side, but it occurred to me. I return and ask: “Are you a Donald Trump fan?” “Yes“, I hear with great joy. “We need Musk and him in Europe”, I tell them on the way. A messenger from the free world, where they are already liquidating this world of bans, orders, criminalization, where those Soros communists until recently controlled the entire country.

Beautiful Giulietta still in Menton, more conciliatory towards the 12 cilindri, huge star youtuber and influencer GMK and Matra.


From our traveler’s video: MC didn’t pass without contact with the police. At least you can see that I’m not writing nonsense here.

A big loss occurs

compared to the same period last year. As I said before. Last year’s values ​​will not be repeated this year. It was exceptional how it all fit together. One after the other. One from each and another different.

Lamborghini Miura. The only “old” car that even today makes 15 year old spotters fall to their knees. For me, next to the BMC mini and VW Golf, the most important car in history.

It was so empty today that at 7:30 PM the train arrived just for me.

Praise for ordinary days

a few catches, it’s not raining very much, will be enjoy with friends, nothing bad will happen…

12 cilindri. Premiere. Huge and unsympathetic. A throwback to the days of the hideous monsters of the last century. Mr. Elkan’s handwriting. Hamilton, this, etc.

The world’s supercar hub

MC port. Three transporters came down at the same time. 2 cars stayed here. And the third one was transferred from Maranello to Barcelona. Next week Ferrari has two days of testing there with Pirelli. So Charles will also drive the F1 with windows and a roof.

Of course another Premiere. Not just for me. The boys ruled MC before I came. They won’t like me soon. That’s just knowledge of the terrain, experience, intuition and instinct.

There were also many Lps. But all repetition. Whoever came for half a day today could have UAE, USA, TN, GBJ, GE, FL, FIN, N, P, AND, BIH…

Everything turns green in the rain, like in May in Central Europe.

Don’t even look at the RMC historique starting list

Kuwait KWT When I exit the tunnel from the station, the first object is the Ferrari workshop. The first  house and the last catch for the rest of the day.

Where are all the countries from the first visit? At least we have the Japanese left. They won’t be coming this year either. What cars came from N. This year they write 3.
Where is CY, IRL UK , S at least etc? Everything is just F/I .
It’s only worse with yachts. Where is the famous Monaco harbor? Present: a few undersized and many empty holes.

2017. It had the atmosphere of the glorious years of the Monte Carlo Rally. Practically all manufacturers sent a factory team. Including those from the East. A lot has changed. Most things for the worse.

(I’m always fascinated by the colors Sony Ericsson used to make. Today’s ones are as fake as the exhausts of current supercars).

Now I see that in 2017 the starting cities were also Lisbon, Barcelona, ​​Athens, Glasgow, Oslo, etc. Just like in the old days. Do you know how many there are this year? 4. MC, Reims, Turin and Bad Homburg. Sad.

Even the sun didn’t help.

So the most fun was discovering the new neighborhood. They packed everything into a narrow space that was incredibly complicated. First you have to take the elevator (it has 6 floors and 4 garages) to 03, then walk around the entire building. At the end you go up 2 more floors and you are on the new bridge. MC is much bigger than on the map, because it is on a steep slope. You will be surprised, but CH is actually bigger than D. All those foothills of a million mountains have a huge area. The map does not take that into account.

Devastating combination

Public holiday and all-day rain.

Maybe there will be time for new memories. For now, at least a few very old ones.

January 2015, Genova, Rallye Budapest Bamako

 


Charles went to see Terramare with his dog on Sunday evening. He’s testing at the Barcelona circuit tomorrow and Pirelli next week.

Last week, the first tests of the year at the Ferrari on Fiorano circuit. It’s amazing that Ferrari is letting the public into their facility. The attendance was bigger than at the Bahrain GP.

Satisfaction with the rally, satisfaction with the Lp

Every day before I catch the train, I start at this intersection in Menton. At the weekend, especially, the direction from Italy is full of cyclists. At every green light, a larger or smaller group. The telltale signs: the sharp features under the helmet and the bikes we know from the TdF.

The first to return to MC were Greensmith, Gryazin and Solberg. Oliver S. was already handsome like this. And with a beard, he’s really handsome.

Nikolaj Grjazin 9th place overall with WRC2. With this used Škoda of some private Italian team. For me the best rally driver of the moment. I see a beauty there, so she will be Grjazin’s partner. That’s how we talked. Such nice people. Where are those aggressive, hateful Russians, as our pro-government media writes about them? Finally, she thanked me for the support. Amazing.

Kalle Rovanperä was allowed to start. At home, the Frenchman Sebastian Ogier must win. His time will come in 3 weeks at the Swedish Rally. Satisfied generality (Jari-Matti Latvala) Toyota Gazoo Racing. We take 1st, 2nd and 4th place from the most famous rally. Only poor Katsuta crashed 3 SS before the finish.

Our Jan Černý, great 14th place overall!

I stayed at the port all day. Honestly, I feel the best here. Without dozens of cameras and police at every step like at Place du Casino.
And it was worth it!

Transnistria and Malta

Only Charles is missing

So much unexpected happened. And the expected meeting with Charles didn’t happen. And there’s no time left. So I went to the places where he lives. Maybe he’ll go jogging or go out with the dog.

The rally will return on Sunday. I appreciate Gryazin the most so far. The poor guy had to take Bulgarian citizenship, when Russians are victims of collective guilt in Europe. They even sent him away from Citroen in the end. So this year, the private Škoda is leading the WRC 2 ahead of all the factory Toyotas, Hyundais, Citroens, etc.

Nothing is missing

Hard job in hard times at the St. Dévote bend and roundabout. I present such a new Bentley that they just shake their heads.

If you want to get some new ideas, take a trip to Fontvielle.

A local YouTuber and Influencer has found a new joy. The red Lambo. The entire series belongs to him. A decent bearded man. He greeted me when I pulled over. This is Monaco. You’d be fucked anywhere else.

News of the day

1. Macron came for a short visit. All the way along the MC: Heliport- Rocher-Heliport.
2. The rally is totally in. This time I refused to push myself in the crowd. Spotters always ignored the RMC. Now 50% decided to film. Just like my elite four, otherwise united.
3. There is snow between the MC and Gap. A lot in the Col de Turini. After years when everyone came back clean as they left, this year will be a real rally!

That Ford belongs to “DirtFish”. He’s the soul of the WRC. He knows more about the networks than anyone else. A little more than a Superfan.
I’m rooting for Kalle Rovanperä.. He dodged the truck and escaped the police!

And if I’m in the mood for another ride and it’s a warm evening, I’ll leave one stop earlier and cycle the last 3km around the sea.

From minimum to maximum

Another rainy day. But it’s supposed to stop at 2 p.m. So I’m in Menton under the bridge. Over 20 countries can be collected relatively quickly. And a completely wet pigeon arrived. As if it had been standing under the gutter. So at least it got fed. 14.07 departure to MC.

The first km traditionally goes to the port, all the way to the very end. That’s where the biggest surprises are. And there they were.

Ferrari SP-90 Stradale XX edition Premiere.This is truly a marvel and the pinnacle of engineering and craftsmanship. There is probably no more beautiful product in the world. 

And it’s starting to rain again. Google weather was wrong again. I was interested in the Punto next to the Aston Martin. That Punto was beaten up from all sides with dozens of blows. Good neighbor. These cars are often seen. Especially with F Lp. But I remember the Italian Punto. It even had colors like a rainbow, which rubbed off everything! How many people do these people spoil the mood of others. Maybe they are taking revenge. They are definitely voters of Melenchon etc.

I was officially recognized as a lifelong motorsport fan and enthusiast by a hug from FIA President Ben Sulayem.

Friends

Two more came back today. So there are four now. That’s above all.  World Carspotting Stars of Youtube. It’s a lot of money and yet they remain friends.  The point is to be the first to bring this significant event to the world. A while ago, I was watching and the second person wrote to the first person in a post: “Faster than lightning”. I also said to him the next day: “That was nice of you”.                                                                                           Even though nothing happened that needed to be in the photos. Aston Villa played the Champions League today. So fans (I didn’t see any hooligans) were scattered everywhere. As the planes landed in Nice, they were escorted to the train and here the MC Police took over. It’s impossible to say that they were curious about the Place du Casino. The biggest concentration was in a pubs near the stadium.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem hugged me

It´s 4 p.m. Nothing, I’m already looking forward to the 7 p.m. Dinner and radio. They’re preparing the backdrops for RMC at the Place. Why? After all, it doesn’t start until Thursday.

I learn that it is not the beginning of the RMC, but the beginning of the motor racing season. The drivers start to appear and then I see Someone.
The President of the FIA from Dubai. We somehow caught each other’s eye. And when he walks past me, hug me in half , definitely holding my shoulder.

 

Quite a bit of confusion around me. I turn around, thinking I’m in the way and…Takamoto photo from 10cm.

 

Dobrý večer, I hear. Ah, girls, students from Nice. We met about 14 days ago at the Fairmont bend. There’s nothing better than chatting in our mother tongue. I sent them to Amazonico. To that new superclub that the prince opened in December. They came back and said it was temporarily closed.
So this whole event paid for by Hankook (who recently joined the WRC) will have a social part there. And late in the evening Charles, Lando, Fernando, Flavio will come too…
So the girls went to Café de Paris. I only just thought of this. But they won’t get lost.


(The 2 on the edges are Czech, the second from the left is a Czech Asian, they spoke English with the 3rd one)


The two resting on the steps of the Casino are Munster and Louka. Our Jovata is cheering for them.


There is no worse place in the world to take photos than Place du Casino. Shadows all day long and mega-luxs lights in the background. And in the evening? That’s not possible at all. There is no direction from which the spotlight doesn’t shine against you.

The sky is cloudy today

and according to her, so did the whole day.

The expedition reminded that the traditional Rallye Budapest-Bamako  started on Friday. They are recommended to take the ferry from Genoa to MA today, but some choose other routes. There is a huge turnout and always something exotic.


We don’t have much blue today, so a memory of a memorable trip to the second most famous bend after Fairmont.

Sorry. For motorists only.

Guys at the intersection of St. Devote. I arrive: “Bad news. Luxury transport brought to the port of Daytona. But before they dropped it off – they left again towards Fontvielle.” Yes, that’s probably the most in car at the moment.

I was very happy when Daytona appeared in the evening. Already with a blue LP. So she was in the underground of the Technical Control. I saw her twice. Youtubestars by Rolex were silent.

And in the evening Fernando Alonso appeared again. For me, a premiere.
However, the greatest automotive hero of today is Martin Macík (CZ). With a truck, he holds 16th place overall at Dakar. One place behind the factory Toyota Gazoo Racing Hilux. And ahead of many dozens of personal specials. With a truck!


Let’s all be very kind and careful when we arrive at MC. The prison (pic.1) looks like a stylish hotel on a rock with windows to the sea, but…I once told an acquaintance about it. And he was surprised that in MC …Well, read MC matin: an evening fight between young men (definitely not MC), caused an accident in the tunnel…etc. everything was transferred to prison.
But be careful. That’s only until the conviction. Then, according to the agreement, they will be taken to a facility in France. and that will be worse.

From time to time, change is needed

Nice

Charles will also greet you at the Nice airport. In fact, he wouldn’t have to race at all. Advertising campaigns and signing autographs and taking pictures with fans would fill all his time.


He is actually staying at a training camp high in the mountains of South Tyrol. He writes as always. “I love you all.”

That was a chance !

before lunch Costa Rica. If only the boys hadn’t flown in and rented motorbikes.

Little Kate coming to me. All the girls from Asia are called Amy, Emii, Annie… So that’s Kate and she’s trying to make it among the YouTuber wolves. The big boys don’t really accept her. I like to see her and I’ll tell you everything I know.

The Big Girl also arrived. From Kuwait. She’s even been caught going out alone in the evening. Just for that handbag, Czech women would work for an average of 2years. But great! Driving a Lamborghini!

Good evening, Monaco.

There was hope and a chance

but nothing major happened. Far worse is hopelessness.

Actually, the only thing missing is this young man.

Noble tranquility

Monacair. MC-Fontvielle Airport. Line to Nice- CdA. Let’s say the top 20% don’t bother with cars and parking. They land and take off in and from Nice a few dozen meters from other connections. The most common vehicles in the parking lot in MC- black minibuses with dark windows. A few steps and then they go home.                                                               Flight time: under ten minutes. Exclusive view on Eze-sur-Mer, Cap Ferrat, etc. included.


With a memory of yesterday’s show.

I’ve never seen women with heels that thin and high. I’ve never seen women who walk in them like they’re wearing Nike Air.

Mohamed Hamdy’s ceremonial procession has departed


with a Monster Batman car, 1 Rolls Royce Cabrio and 4 Ferraris.

to meet with Russian media. So many nice people. No restrictions, no inhibitions.

It surprises me how the boys are raised. To keep quiet and record from a distance. I was curious about what kind of engine it was. Mister answered me with a smile, willingly, that it was a twelve-cylinder BMW. As with Lando, I was the only one who spoke briefly.
We will return to this fascinating event next time.

Malta surpassed Lando

Lando showed up again today. He stopped briefly at the Metropole. Big change. Some of the reappeared spotters are waiting outside. No chase inside the mall. The run – who knows – just run 10m and you have Lando once again from a bird’s eye view.

And here’s the reason why he’s been visiting the shops for the past two days. Miss! And today he also rolled down the window and gave me a look, like he was looking at an acquaintance.

Lando wins in Miami


The KWT lambo was driven by a woman herself. The boys noticed it. Like everything else.
This is the first time I’ve seen it.

Posted in Spotters

I dealt with Lando unexpectedly early

I met him at the pedestrian crossing and we managed everything with gestures and a smile. He ended up arriving at the Place anyway.

Things weren’t looking good at the Place anymore. A group of fat, ugly, aggressive women surrounded him. No wonder they all hid.

Evenings Nescafe at Mirabeau bend.
