A tantalising mix of roads and surfaces at Monza circuit’s Cathedral of Speed, allied with tricky asphalt in the foothills of the Italian Alps, make an enticing formula for the WRC season finale at ACI Rally Monza (3 – 6 December). All the circuit speed tests carry the names of tyres from local manufacturer Pirelli, and the event roars into life on Thursday afternoon with the curtain-raising Sottozero The Monza Legacy (4.33km). Friday’s first full day comprises five tests at the parkland circuit. A 15-minute service follows each of the opening four stages, with a regular 45-minute service at the end of the day. A repeat of Friday’s PZero Grand Prix, again in darkness, takes the day’s tally to 126.95m. It’s back to Monza for the season’s final day on Sunday.
