No he would have crashed on day 1! His 9 Monte starts reads 4 ret, 1 7th 2 6th 1 5th and 1 3rd (last year). Not Petter's star event by any means.Quote:

and for sure not 8 and 6+mins on loeb on the second day of the rally........
What makes You so sure? His past attempts in Monte Carlo were rather unsuccessful. From those recent in 2011 he was clearly slower than Hänninen, last year than Sordo in Mini. Also almost in every attempt he had some offs or crashes...Quote:
