The Rallye Monte Carlo is known for mixed conditions if anything: some snow, some dry, and like in this video, some butt turrible slicks of ice.

Ever seen a rally car struggle? I mean, really, really struggle? The Porsche is helped out by the weight over its drive wheels, but the slicks of ice still make it extremely difficult for them to get traction on any part of the road.

Roads half-covered in ice and half-snow? Yes, please. This week's Rallye Monte Carlo is going to be a blast.
