[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2024

Tänak used two super softs on this run compared to others

Saving for Sunday I guess, as I predicted before. Without mistakes from top3, he can not catch them by pure speed only. So, if he wants more points, he needs to catch them from Sunday.

Hyundai should have had Sordo in the car here and give Mikkelsen more tests and then gravel events.

I dont know if its onboard camera, but you can see Mikkelsen is really struggling with the car.

EDIT: Much better already on 2nd loop. Beating Fourmaux and not far from Katsuta.

I see, really strange driving through the cuts, big movement with steering wheel

SS6 Mikkelsen: "It was better, the feeling is coming. Still a bit on the safe side, I can go a bit faster. But going in the right direction"


Mikkelsen time-loss per km for the fastest:
* SS1 1.57
* SS2 1.43
* SS3 1.64
* SS4 1.10
* SS5 1.65
* SS6 0.83

Sensible words from Fourmaux showing the right attitude and how he's matured.

What happened to ingram?

Fourmaux seems nice and relaxed. Hopefully can keep it up and the car on the road

Tanak confirmed that Hyundai has solved the throttle issues he and his team-mates were battling last night.

He also revealed that he is feeling relatively comfortable in the upgraded i20 N on his competitive return with the brand following a year at M-Sport.

"This morning it [the car] has been running smooth," he said.
"It is actually quite comfortable, and I would say I'm 80%. It is driving quite nicely, and I'm relaxed.

"The last part I don't have yet it takes a bit more driving to get and understand the last push."

I guess Mikkelsen has orders to get to the chessflag, and drive as a libero, to pick up points if others goes off.
He need ss km in the car to understand settings vs behavior and get the car under his skin before pushing 100%.

Lets see where he ends up speedwise when the process is done, if he get close to the top drivers or not.
