Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo
The oldest event on the WRC circuit, the Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo has witnessed more high-risk gambles than the famous casinos in Monaco itself. With stages alternating quickly between dry asphalt, icy roads and heavy snow along the narrow and twisted slopes of the Southern Alps, the route through the breathtaking French mountains is almost as unpredictable as the weather itself. Join flamboyant host Neil Cole as he tackles the slippery slopes and introduces you to the unmistakable glamour of uber-rich Monaco.
The Uddeholm Sweden
The Swedish Rally is the only racing event on the WRC calendar to be set on pure, unadulterated snow. But the roars of the engines alone are almost enough to melt the snow in Karlstadd, as stud-tyre cars pummel the ice-covered gravel and snow banks with relentless intensity. With temperatures that drop to less than -27?C, the snow-covered stages create exceptional challenges for the drivers, crew and even the spectators. Follow your well-wrapped host, Neil Cole as he does his best to keep warm and find out which drivers and their cars make it to the finishing line.
