He is a little disappointing, but bear in mind that it is also his first Rallye Monte Carlo, and only his second event in WRC-class machinery.Quote:

This year the organizers get to choose whether they use or not superrally. Monte Carlo chose not to while it seems every other rally it'll be used.Quote:

Secondly, they're not approaching the drivers for interviews until they get to service points. This always irritated me about NOS' coverage; we'd see five minutes of post-stage interviews for every two minutes of in-stage action, so we were being told what was happening after the fact rather than seeing it.
Overall, that thirty minutes' worth of coverage from one day of competition was better than last year's coverage (excluding the power stages).
same thing i saw.slow entry,fast exit for Loeb.This part of corners was useless to see engine power.Just different aproachQuote:

First time with WRCar on studded tires on ice and snow. First real rally on tarmac with WRCar. First time in Monte. Nearly no testing and crash to end the testing... You cannot expect much from such a background :-)Quote:
