Training in France

Next step is preparing for transportation and transfer of car & equipment to France. We’ll take the rally car on a trailer down to Provence and our tow car will be our service car boarding the Oslo-Kiel ferry on Thursday 22 nd January.

The plan is as follows:

 22.01: Oslo-Kiel

 23.01: Kiel-Kronberg (575 km)

 25.01: Kronberg-Valence (800 km)

 26/27.01: test drive 

 28.01: Valence-Nice (370 km)

 29/30.01: test drive

 31.01: scrutineering & documentation Monte Carlo

 01.02: RMCH start, Monte Carlo

The idea is to have some days up in mountains to test the car & equipment. During these days we will check that the car is working as it should, i.e. the trip will be calibrated and tested on different tires, the tires will be tested on different surfaces and we need to familiarize ourselves with the roads. We know that we may get snowy & slippery roads and temperatures below zero at night and above during the day. Conditions may change quickly, and it is really a lottery what we get next day.

And; we need the right mindset when we start off in Monte Carlo!
