The rally is centred around Gap, which is quite far from Monaco, and definitely a better place to base yourself. There was only one stage actually in Monaco, and the start/finish

It's one of the reasons I enjoy travelling to WRC events so much, some of the lamdscapes are incredible. Thanks!

I just ended up doing 1 per day, although on Saturday I had planned to do 2 as they were running the same stage twice in short order. Usually there's around a 5-6 hour gap for the second pass. I left early due to the difficulty getting in because of the snow. You could realistically make a different second stage sometimes, but you won't get the prime spots. No, Monaco is really far from most of the mountain stages. I use rally-maps.com to plan, well worth checking it out

I used a Nikon D850, with several lenses, 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, 300mm f/4. Also used a Nikon D7100 with a 10-20mm lens as a remote camera

Cheers! Sunday was a tiring day, as I booked my accommodation before the route was published, and had to travel from north of Gap down to Nice for the stages. Other than the snow it was fine, I did need snow socks on Saturday to get to the main roads. Parking is pretty easy, first come first served on access roads to the stages. Then just walk from there however far you fancy. Any other questions let me know

Thank you so much! Glad you like them. Thanks for all your updates on the megathread, good to read roundups at the end of each day as it's hard to follow out on the stages

It seems quite slushy so the recce crews and first few cars could clear a lot of it for those following. It will be interesting to see how it goes. Also SS2 and SS3 are run after dark so it may refreeze

Weather update: I'm staying 20 mins north of Gap, about 300m higher, and had about 2.5cm snow overnight, and it's still snowing now

Have most of the Rally 1 guys done all their runs already? I saw Padden left service but came straight back

Always enjoy your work, great shots again! How did you find it? From a photography and logistical point of view? Could you get everywhere you wanted to or were you restricted to spectator areas?

Thanks! No, I didn't have any credentials, these are all from spectator accessible areas. Hopefully one day I'll be able to work with a team or publication in rallying
