[WRC] Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo 2026

[M3 Jambo]

He has had it, since he was a youngster. I admit that I was wrong on him starting too early, which I thought was good by then. And maybe it was, but in the way he got a wake up call to learn more in Rally 2 first.

We saw already last year what he can do, and tests before this season have seen very good.

So now we have a matured complete rallydriver on top level in Oliver Solberg. Even if he don´t finish RMC, we know what to come over the season.

WRC history was made today. Great performance from Oliver and Elliot. Smart driving and still fast(est) paid out fully.

Let´s wait for next chapter.

The next chapter is looking rather promising. Way more impressive than Rovanpera thus far IMO

This year we are seing a proper Monte Carlo where even Ogier is facing challenges.
I missed this and i'm happy to see how Monte Carlo is going.

Oliver Solberg is in a rally apart from the others.
Elfyn Evans is doing a excelent rally.
Seb Ogier is proving, again, that when things go worng he lost his head.

Hyundai are on their own league stucked in problems and lack of performance. At least they are having, until now, reliability.
And talking abou Hyundai, who tought that put Hayden Paddon for the first time with a Rally1 in Monte was good ideia? He made this rally for the first time in 2017... Sordo and Lappi would have been a much clever choice.

A last word for MSport Ford, Armstrong proving that one of the problems of the team, besides de lack of money, is the lack of talent behind the wheel.

Citroën - Lancia - Skoda is the current classification in WRC2 after six stages

Unfortunately SS 7 mostly wet with some mud. Temperature is too high...

Same like yesterday, rules don't apply to some rallies.. spectators so close that they can touch cars and all good..


On the other hand, when in some rallies people are 10-20m away and oh nooo cancel cancel red flag..

But short answer - France.

Fourmaux no brakes, had to reverse in the hairpins, says they can fix it.

Solberg is managing now... and still fastest.

Tänak is having a laugh at home

6th fastest for Armstrong with a puncture is good going.
