Still shown on Peterauto site, but press accreditation not opening until March, which suggests they are not making a final decision quite yet – press accreditation is usually open from January...

Competitors have apparently been contacted and are expecting it to happen. Possibly without spectators though, depending how the French rules change.

Nothing more _ I got in touch with Andy Prill and he was in the dark, too. On paper it looks like going back to the dark days of carnets and listing everything – spare, tools, the lot. I'll see if I can find any more news...

public tickets are to go on sale in April, which coincides with the timing of cancelling last year. So I imagine they are waiting until as late as possible to make a decision. To be honest I would rather it be postponed until next year than do a half hearted version.

Remove from trailer. Drive on to ferry / train. Reload the other side.

I take it that the UK will be applying the same Carnet Rules to Visiting Europeans?
