Every driver dreams of winning this unique event which is undoubtedly the toughest of the year due to its highly changeable and varied conditions. On top of that, the night-time stages and wintry weather provide the perfect recipe for a spectacular and frequently dramatic week in the French Alps. For Michelin, too, this is an event apart. In addition to the technicians who work with our partner teams throughout the season and who play particularly key roles on this rally, we also run ice-note crews who cover the stages ahead of the competitors. Their mission is to collect up-to- date information on the conditions with a view to helping the crews make their tyre choices.” MICHELIN TYRES FOR THE MICHELIN AND 2019 RALLYE MONTE-CARLO TH E RALLYE MONTE-CARLO michelin pILOT SPORT Michelin has won the Rallye Monte-Carlo 27 times as a WRC round S6 SS6 Michelin Group tyres also won the event (soft) (super soft) in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011 ASP HALT Michelin tyres have won more than half of the Rallye Monte-Carlo stages contested as a WRC round since 1973 Michelin Pilot Alpin Michelin has won the Rallye Monte- Carlo as a WRC round with 13 different manufacturers A4 A41 non studded studded Michelin has notched up 81 podium finishes on the Rallye Monte-Carlo as a WRC round snow/ice Michelin has claimed one-two-three Quota for Studded A41 tyres Rallye Monte-Carlo finishes with five WRC drivers: 3 Maximum stud protrusion: 2mm manufacturers: Alpine, Audi, Lancia, 43 tyres, 3 Maximum stud weight: 2g Citroën and VW including shakedown 3 Number of studs: approximately 200 (10 studs per 10cm of tread, with a 47mm from a total circumferential gap between the 2 rows) Nine French drivers have won the Rallye allocation 3 Studded tyres not permitted in Monte-Carlo as a WRC round, all on of 80 tyres parc ferme Michelin tyres 2019 FLASHBACK TO 2018 format WINNERS: 40% of the route modified Sébastien Ogier/ compared with 2018 Julien Ingrassia (Ford Fiesta RS WRC/Michelin) The start venue has changed from Monte Carlo’s Casino Square to Gap’s city centre STAGE WINNERS: SS1, SS2 and SS3/6 are new Neuville (5), Ogier and Tanak (4), Evans (2), Meeke and Mikkelsen (1) SS4/7 has been modified RALLY LEADER: Ogier (SS1-finish) SS5/8 hasn’t been used since the Noughties 3 Sébastien Ogier’s fifth straight Rallye Monte-Carlo victory (a record) SS9/11, SS10/12, SS13/15 and SS14/16 3 Two Michelin-equipped Toyota Yaris WRCs in the top are identical to 2018 three (Tänak and Latvala) 3 Many crews lost time on SS1’s icy Col de Fontbelle Competitors will drive the 245km 3 Varied, tricky conditions (ice, rain, snow, dry asphalt, from Gap to Monaco as a road section on wet asphalt, etc.) Saturday afternoon 3 WRC2 victory for Skoda/Michelin CLICK HERE TO WATCH OUR LATEST RALLYE-MONTE CARLO VIDEOS DOWN MEMORY LANE 1999 Rallye Monte-Carlo RALLYE MONTE-CARLO TRIVIA The Rallye Monte-Carlo is world rallying’s longest-surviving event Like the Le Mans 24 Hours, the Rallye Monte-Carlo is celebrating its 87th running this year The inaugural Rallye Monte-Carlo was organised the same year as the Indianapolis 500 The first Rallye Monte-Carlo (1911) was won by Henri Rougier driving a Turcat-Mery 25 HP The 1973 Rallye Monte-Carlo was the opening round of the newly-created Maiden Monte success for Mäkinen and World Rally Championship Mitsubishi/Michelin It was 20 years ago that Finn Tommi This year is the 42nd time that the Rallye Monte-Carlo is a WRC qualifier Mäkinen claimed the first of his The Rallye Monte-Carlo’s most successful driver is Sébastien Loeb (seven wins) four Rallye Monte Carlo victories to provide Mitsubishi with its first win Sébastien Ogier holds the record for the highest number of straight Rallye Monte-Carlo wins (five) in the Principality after a particularly punishing event.

  • The MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5 and S6 Ready for Rallye Deutschland's
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Round 10/14: ADAC Rallye Deutschland The MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5 and S6 ready for Rallye Deutschland’s challenging cocktail of asphalt and concrete stages Although the majority of the rounds that make up the calendar of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship take place on gravel, the year’s asphalt fixtures counts amongst the sport’s most iconic competitions, including the wintry Rallye Monte-Carlo and France’s Tour de Corse which, this year, was held at the end of March. This week, Round 10 takes competitors to Germany for the campaign’s third sealed-surface rally which is famous for its mix of asphalt and abrasive concrete roads that pose an additional challenge for tyres. The stages themselves vary from narrow vineyard lanes and tracks over army ranges which features numerous changes of surface, to smoother, fast, flowing country roads. Rain is frequently a factor that the teams and crews need to take into account. Although the overall length of the 2019 Rallye Deutschland has been shortened slightly from 1,221.89 to 1,160.35 kilometres compared with 12 months ago, the total competitive distance has increased from 325.76km to 343.95km, while the menu includes 19 special stages instead of 18. As in 2018, the service park is based on the shores of Bostalsee Lake, around 60km south of Trier. For the first time, the wooded recreational park will also host the official start ceremony on Thursday evening. Friday’s programme comprises two attempts at a loop of narrow stages through the vineyards of the nearby Mosel Valley, plus two visits to a very tricky super-special in Wadern-Weiskirchen.

  • 1968 − 1984 Colin: the Busy Baby by Margaret Mcrae
    1968 − 1984 Colin: the busy baby by Margaret McRae Colin Steele McRae was born on August 5, 1968. It was a Monday. He was born in the William Smellie Maternity Hospital in Lanark. And he was a much-wanted child – a first grandchild for my parents, however Jim’s mum and dad already had two. It’s from Jim’s mum that Colin took the name Steele – it was her maiden name. We were living in Blackwood, about five miles from Lanark, in those days. And it was to the house in Vere Road, Blackwood that we would have taken Colin home – if we hadn’t still been renovating the cottage at the time. Instead, we went and stayed with my parents for two or three weeks while we finished the work on the house. This was actually quite a God-send as my dad wasn’t feeling too well at the time and having a newborn baby in the house really took his mind off things. He spent all of his time, just focused on the baby. Right from the off, Colin was a busy baby and, unfortunately for us, not a baby to whom sleep came easily or quickly. I think he stayed in our room for about seven weeks, before we knew the time had come for him to go into his own room. I don’t think Colin really slept through the night completely for about two years. Alister, his younger brother, was something of a revelation by comparison and slept really quickly. It’s fair to say, Colin wasn’t an easy baby.

Under new Team Director Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorsport will contest its most comprehensive season in WRC to date with 14 rounds, including a new event in Chile. Birmingham, UK January 11, 2019 – On the eve of the official WRC season launch at the Autosport International show, Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its intentions to compete once again at the very forefront of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), with its sights set firmly on the manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles. The team finished as runners-up in 2018, for the third time in a row, having taken the title fight down to the wire. In one of the closest, most hotly contested seasons in recent years, a three-way battle was only concluded at the season finale in Australia. Running a revised crew line-up and with an extended calendar of 14 rounds in 2019, Hyundai Motorsport will aim to revisit the competitive form that helped it score three victories and 11 podium finishes last season. With WRC’s regulations remaining stable, the team has been able to evolve the technical foundations of its rally winning Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. All aspects of the car have been rigorously assessed in order to perform consistently across all terrains in the coming season.

    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Spain Champions, champions, champions, champions*! Ogier/Ingrassia claim fourth WRC title in a row with Volkswagen § Crowned with a win: Ogier/Ingrassia wrap up world title after eleven rallies § Title defence sees champions join Kankkunen and Mäkinen in exclusive club § Match point number two for Volkswagen in the Manufacturers’ Championship Wolfsburg (16 October 2016). Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) were crowned World Rally Champions for the fourth time in a row after taking victory at the Rally Spain. They guided their Volkswagen Polo R WRC to a fifth win of the season in Catalonia, finishing ahead of Dani Sordo/Marc Martí (E/E, Hyundai) und Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul (B/B, Hyundai). Their ninth podium in eleven races triggered wild celebrations. The Frenchmen can no longer be caught at the top of the overall standings in the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Team-mates Andreas Mikkelsen/Anders Jæger (N/N) went into the Rally Spain as their closest rivals in the title race, but the Norwegians’ hopes of winning the championship were dashed when they were forced to retire from the rally. Eighth place in the Manufacturers’ classifications for Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) means Volkswagen is well- placed to claim its fourth Manufacturers’ title in a row next time out at the Rally Great Britain. Kankkunen, Mäkinen and Ogier – up there with the biggest names in rallying 952 days in a row at the top of the table: Sébastien Ogier is only the third World Rally Champion to be crowned champion four years in a row in the pinnacle of rallying, and the fourth four-time world champion in the history of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).
