Katsuta moved to Monaco in 2025. So technically a resident of Monaco (Monacan). Who was the last resident of Monaco to win a World Rally? Elena or Mikkelsen or someone else?

Neuville also lives in monaco.

Criticise if you must, but the rally created some brilliant stories and drama. Plus it finished with a win for Toyota, Manufacturers 1-2 for Hyundai and a new WRC winner in Katsuta. A lot for everyone to be happy about.

But the 2nd team also takes points of the 1st team. More like big cost, marginal gain.

Great to see how everyone is genuinely pleased for him, I feared it may never happen.
Congratulations to Taka and Aaron…

Well, I'm happy for Katsuta.

Championship goes: Evans, Solberg, Katsuta, Fourmaux, Pajari, Ogier, Neuville, Lappi.

So Evans is first on the tarmac at Croatia.

Congrats to Tänak for two his students winning!

So happy for Taka, finally it happened and said also thanks to Tänak.

Impressive by Virves especially considering it was his first Kenya.

That does not seem to be fixed yet, as best I can tell. I can't see when the entry list is published.

Personally, I bet he will.

Virves did a very mature drive. Not pushing over the limit and zero problems. A very good start for his WRC2 season.
