Whole motorsport and rally have been "build" by these gentleman drivers. Like 1894 Paris-Rouen. Without these gentlemans we don´t have whole motorsport. :)

Maybe Bluuford just saw few times from RMC but forgot that Vigion did a lot of stages with broken transmission. Sometimes he was passing us in a speed of tractor...

Moreover Vigion was one of the most talentuous young french at the end of 2000's. He could have another carreer if he didn't lost his driving license in Mont Blanc 2009 ... at this time if I remenber correctly he was leading french championship, and I'm quite sure he would have won. But due to his mistake, he lost his sponsorship (Yacco) and his carreer never really restart ... but after two difficult years (2010 few races with C2 S1600, and 2 international events with 207 S2000, with very good times in Rallye de France; and no monney to do whole champ in 2011, doing some event in a not reliable 207 S2000), he did a nice combeack this year with DS3 R3, fighting against all young french rising star, proving that his skill is still there.

If he didn't lose his driving license ... maybe he could have had some international experience, and for sure no-one would classified him as gentleman driver.

Is that a "Monte Carlo 2013" topic or not...?

In as much as it is discussing the merits of competitors against their contemporaries I think it is acceptable. After all we are in the phoney war period. Entry list posted, testing mostly done waiting for Valence Shakedown with baited breath. Hell, I wish the season would start. For those wanting a fix and who haven't noticed - RMC Pickem is now live!

I'm not sure that this livery is for Monte, i think it's from Barbórka 2010...

Mini probably was't homologated in 2010.
