[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2022

**mknight** · 20th January 2022, 20:31

Quite a few shockers this evening, and Loeb being 2nd isn't even one of them.

- Fastest Hyundai 6th ( not that much of a shocker)
- Breen slowest Puma
- Rovanpera slowest WRC, behind R5s (definitely biggest (bad) surprise)

Seb Ogier "Right now it's hard to know where we stand, we're still trying things with the car. I'm glad we got to the end of tonight, it's always a challenge."

i would say it a bit different.
The two fastest drivers (till now at least) will not do the whole championship.

Fourmaux will do all rallies.

Well, I wasn’t expecting him to come charging out of the box tbh, after all he hasn’t done Monte since 2018, different car, different tyres, it was always going to be a challenge. Besides Loeb has won the event how many times? And both Greensmith & Fourmaux have competed here for the past two years, and you can tell how much those experiences makes a difference.

Through but still with problems it looks like. Hopefully fixed for tomorrow.

Hopefully they’ll get those teething problems out before Sweden and hopefully, fingers crossed we won’t see a reply of 2021 for them. As for Ford, I think I heard Richard saying in the interview they’ve been preparing this for the last 18 months so I think we should be pretty glad it seems to have worked out for them, but as you mentioned, early days.
