[WRC] Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo 2026

[JAM]

Very weird times today.

A proper Monte Carlo is like this.

It's the word he used, shitty, which will get him in trouble. If he would use bad, Hankook officials would have difficult time convincing FIA to fine Ogier of bad mouthing their product.

Of course it's classic Ogier reaction towards tires. If I remember correctly he also was criticizing Michellin's too, so I don't know which brand of tires would work for him, DMACK? Or none.

What a stage for Solberg!

[meh]

It is 2nd stage of the year, but we have a proper candidate for the stage for the year! That is amazing mr Solberg!

[Morte66]

Holy cow, there's a new kid on the block.

OTOH, he said "that was the craziest I've ever done, and I thought I was off many times".

Solberg 2026 champion

It seems all drivers think the tyres are shit, no grip at all.

[EstWRC]

To be fair Ogie got the worst conditions on this table

[speederbee]

This could be a pretty good year to watch... Toyota doesn't do team orders, so we've got multiple skilled drivers competing on equal terms in the same car.

Basically it's like a spec series, with the hyundai and msport cars there too as a bonus sideshow

Hankook will do nothing, avoiding Barbra Streisand effect. Everybody else but us moved on already.
