[WRC] 86th Rallye Monte-Carlo 2018 (Jan 22-28)

[Simmi]

A 2017 WRC Fiesta? The entry list would probably say Fiesta RS WRC if it was an older one?

You're giving too much credit to the people who put together the entry lists I think.


WRC2 always makes me smile on the Monte. So many drivers giving it respect and not registering. When in reality you just need to not write your car off and you'll probably get a good points haul.

Taking Monte Carlo as a championship event is always a bit of gamble. For sure it's prestigious to win it but it's also an event with higher risk of something unpredictable happening than others. If your goal is to win the title at all cost you don't choose Monte Carlo.

Still disappointed and (a bit) amazed Citroën don't have a third car for example Lefebvre here in rally Monte Carlo. He could be in the game for sure, not for the win but a top five spot was possible so be a good third nominated driver and you need one here because always something happen as MC is a special event with the tricky mixed-conditions.
Specially now whe know Ostbeg will have a third car for Sweden so that third car is (still) available. Also no Bonato, so for sure now no win for Citroën in the R5 class but i guess they don't care about that.

Ans missing in the entry-list some fast French drivers like Michel, Maurin, Rossel and Margaillan.

Had btw also some hoped Hänninen could be with Dmack but that ain't happen but was a good opportunity (for both), maybe that will be happen later on in the season, you never know.

But in the end, 11 strong drivers in the top-class and 6-7 strong drivers in the R5 class so it will be a exited MC-event anyway.

Available if the driver pays for it

Hänninen is Toyota's test driver and DMack stopped supporting WRC entries.

Quite a poor entrylist in R5 I think. Strange that both Bonato and Greensmith are back in R2s (if the entrylist is correct...)

[Mirek]

WRC2 yes, but do You think that the complete R5 list is poor?
