[WRC] Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo 2026

Tire choices
Ogier, Evans, Armstrong: 2 super-softs + 4 studded tires
Pajari, Neuville, Munster, Fourmaux, Katsuta, Paddon, McErlean, Solberg: 4 studded tires + 2 snow tires

Interesting choice for Armstrong, I would have expected him to go with a safer choice of 4 studs + 2 snow, as he will be just looking to finish tonight.

Surprised by the tire choices tbh, I expected SS1 and SS3 to be dry-wet-slush, not snowy. Going with no softs at all suprises me. Does anyone have the link for Hankook recce analysis please?

When SS 1 will be mostly dry, SS 2 will be mixture of everything including ice and snow. SS 3 is currently mostly wet, but it will start later in the evening, so it is expected it will be freezing, so lot of ice is expected, I think.

SS1 almost fully dry but the recce from Hankook was AT 9:00! Everything could be different now..

But how can SS1 be DRY when there is rain/snow all day on radar?

Dry of snow/ice at the moment maybe?
