If Evans can do that and if Ogier is correct that road will get better, just wait for Loeb's time!

I think heavy crashes have affected the youngsters. Fourmaux will also suffer from that from now...
Only Colin could shake it off without any problems.
Hyundai needs slippery conditions. Works then
he made mistakes and last year, Monza for example, he needs alot of work...................
And msport works best on dry tarmac but loose a lot on slippery one
He shook off a big crash on Rally di Roma in 2020 and got some good results.Quote:

Turn your clocks back to 2003 Loeb is leading Monte Carlo Rally!
Loeb is in my eyes the greatest and most talented Motorsport guy the world has ever seen
I have a thought for Isabelle Galmiche who sees the landscape passing by at a speed she did not dare to imagine possible before today !
After just five stages of the opening round of the 2022 season, M-Sport Ford have won thrice the number of stages they won in the whole of the 2021 series. . . .hmmmmm!!!!
Fourmaux has shown last year at times he can be sensible though - take it easy on certain stages and then target specific stages to increase the pace etc.Quote:

As you say too many crashes can really effect a driver. And there won't be another McRae with his mindset to never let crash after crash effect his belief in his ability/speed.

The second loop will be interesting to follow.

Loving Isabelle’s pink watch but crickey what a load of fun it must be.
Allez Seb !
Loeb in the lead by 10 seconds no less! What a story!
I think he was aiming at the same here, after SS1 he said that "this is the most difficult stage so we took it carefully".Quote:

Post-crash footage of Fourmaux
It's sick what people film and share these days, let them get out the car and take a breath FFS. Until they are confirmed OK and visibly calm this isn't fair.Quote:

Hyundai doesn't seem very slow, but Neuville's comments on how "scary" it is to drive is worrying.
Yeah I noticed as well it isn't really cool. I was focusing on the damage of the car. Could it be still fixed with just new panels?Quote:

My personal perception is that the Ford is perhaps the most resolved package at the minute, but the Toyota maybe a little quicker when it’s in the window (or it could be Ogier/Evans making the difference) weird to see Rovanpera and Katsuta so far off tho.Quote:
