If there are only 3 cars then he might have to share with Sordo; his pace on Tarmac still isn't good enough. However, as you say, a fourth car would solve that issue. I still think he needs lots more...

Wait until the end of the season to make a valid comparison; 1 event, and such a specialised one as the Monte is unwise, and pretty inaccurate.
