I can say that Nobre finishing the day is the greatest acknowledgement of his Rallying career. He has not ever driven in such conditions and dealing with studded tires and icy roads. We barely see snow here in Brazil. He is limited, but a brave!

Please fellows remember this is more of a drifting contest than real rally. But some driver doing well today. PG, Novikov, Ogier for example. Tänak, Neuville... well very overrated before the rally and it looks to be true also.
Loeb was doing well?Quote:

Loeb is from other planet and can´t be compared amongst the other drivers.Quote:

It's quite obvious that he couldn't be very fast here - it's his first MC rally and it certainly takes more experience to drive fast in these conditions. I mean, look at Markko Märtin, in 2002 he was 12. in Monte Carlo and he was losing quite similar time to the leaders as Ott now and already today we saw Ott developing quite fast. And it took 2 years for Märtin to win on Tarmac.
So, my point is, give Ott a bit time to get used to the car and tarmac roads and he can be very quick. In my opinion his approach has been very wise so far in Monte Carlo.
