We'll probably hear something during the event, but it could just be that Fourmaux has had a bit more testing or feels like he's adapted to the Puma a bit better. He is also French and it's his 'home' event.

I would think pretty simply if I’m honest! I would imagine that when he signed his deal, the possibility of him not being named in the main team on every event was a very real one. It remains to be seen if on any other events Loeb does, they chose him over Formaux, but I doubt it.

"You're a mediocre pay driver, so...."

Breen and Loeb are obvious and tbf to Gus, Fourmaux has probably had double or triple the testing miles.

Gus is freer to do his own rally now rather than carry the weight of team expectations. Not the best rally to gauge him on but we'll do it anyway, I hope there's more rounds like this.

Latest M-Sport & Toyota PET's have been on snow and ice, but Hyundai has been dry tarmac. What is the likely road conditions on the Monte stages ?

Weather-wise my app shows it will be mild dry and sunny weather but with freezing nights.

I dont think it is important. If there is Rally Monte Carlo running, nobody can stop you to spectate the rally. You are just walking by :-)
