Please post any questions or comments about the Monte Carlo ’72-’82 series in this forum.
Please post the car and livery you are planning on running in this series.
Radial TA found this in the 1972 Rally list. Will run wider than 8mm tire class.
SRC 52006 – Porsche 914/6 GT #118 – ’71 Monte Carlo Rally The green and yellow car from last year that Steve drove for me during the heat of summer.
Have not settled on a narrow tire car and may not bother.
Current plan is Renault Alpine for <8, and Lancia Stratos for >8. Both scratch builds

-Warren ZevonGroup W entry, a Lancia Stratos. It looks like I may have stumbled on a mix of resins that combines decent surface quality and (we hope) sufficient durability. Slot.it running gear, still on the hunt for wheels and tires.

-Warren ZevonBelieve I’ll give this a go.
Opel Kadett Monte Carlo 1979

Tanner – I don’t think that car will be allowed as it has a metal chassis. Usually, only plastic chassis are allowed unless the series is for BRM or RevoSlot where those cars all run a metal chassis. I am not the series director but I am sure he will have rules posted shortly that will help everyone make a car selection.
Anyone planning a scratch-build should check out the decals at rally-miniature.fr
Decals came in for my Alpine and Stratos, and they are among the best I have used. Thin, strong and flexible. And the decal film os not over the entire sheet, but around the individual graphics, so it is much easier to work with than most of what is out there.
