Rallye WRC Monte Carlo 2019

Loeb 2nd slowest WRC in every pass (only Tidemand slower) and slower than Mikkelsen on every pass says a lot about the car on tarmac imo. Surely he suddenly forgot how to drive, just like Mikkelsen did.

wow lol...just stop it

You've been dying to post something like that to try and make your boy Mikkelsen look better

Shame you've blown your load before the rally and season has even started

Do tell and quote people that were expecting Loeb to be effectively last WRC on every single pass at SD. I certainly wasn't, even though he rarely pushes hard on SD.

It doesn't surprise me at all tbh. The fact that he has been away from the sport for years still stands in my opinion, he probably still lacks some rythem to be on the pace straight away. Combine this with the fact he has come straight out of Dakar and most importantly, he has only driven the Hyundai for what, 1,5 days? No it doesn't surprise me at all, he'll be there or there about tomorrow I'm sure.

Hyundai 6, 9 and 10. I know its only SD but I wouldnt be surprised if this is the positions we will see from Hyundai on tarmac this year. At least the first half of the season. Their new boss has a big job ahead of him..

Duval was once quickest on shakedown driving a Fabia WRC, and that was in Catalunya when it was still full tarmac... Shakedown isn't that representative for the rally itself, especially in Monte.

But this rally will be more than just dry tarmac.
