Damien Smith ponders the success of a Monte Carlo rally far removed from the harbour-side principality, and looks ahead to some uninterrupted viewing when the 2007 WRC season continues in Sweden
The 2007 World Rally Championship brings you its most famous, most traditional event: the fabulous Monte Carlo Rally - live from, er, Valence.
It wouldn't have worked as a sales pitch, would it? Apologies for my ignorance of French provincial towns, but I'd never heard of Valence until this week. It's 250 miles north of Monte Carlo - not exactly just up the road, then. But after last weekend it's certainly on my motorsport map now.
