Woohoo, rallying is gonna be on TV again! I hate winter when there's no motorsport coverage.
I'm afraid I have to stay loyal to my own car's brand so ... go Markko!

While I want Markko to do well, I also am hoping that the new 307 and WRC Lancer do well.

It will be interesting to see how the two new cars fare against the Focus, Subaru and Citroen that we've seen so much of. Hopefully Mitsubishi have come back with a car closer to the pace than the previous one, but it will be interesting to see if the Lancer and 307 are going to be reliable or suffer from those little gremlins. I'd love to see the Mitsi do well to justify their return and give the team a much needed boost.

Re: 22 - 25 January, the 76th edition of Rallye Monte Carlo
Shakedown times (we all know how much these mean, but still)
Marcus Grцnholm (Peugeot) 6m10.2s Franзois Duval (Ford) 6m10.3s Sйbastien Loeb (Citroen) 6m11.4s Petter Solberg (Subaru) 6m11.8s Markko Mдrtin (Ford) 6m14.0s Mikko Hirvonen (Subaru) 6m16'.1s Carlos Sainz (Citroen) 6m17.7s Freddy Loix (Peugeot) 6m20.1s Gilles Panizzi (Mitsubishi) 6m33.1s Gigi Galli (Mitsubishi) 6m51.7s And snow (about 40%) and -8 C are forecast for tomorrow. Tricky!

Re: 22 - 25 January, the 76th edition of Rallye Monte Carlo
First stage cancelled due to a large number of spectators, the second stage to 307 and Marcus, by 9.9 s ahead of Martin, 3rd stage to Markko and 0.8 s ahead of Marcus. Overall after SS3:
Gronholm Martin Loeb Duval Sainz Kresta Galli Solberg. Loix 10th and Panizzi 13th.

Re: 22 - 25 January, the 76th edition of Rallye Monte Carlo
4th stage seems to be going the way of Loeb, Sainz second, then Marcus and Markko. So Loeb now moves into 2nd lpace overall.

Certainly fast, hope not fragile.
Still looks awkward during rally stages, just out of place

Re: 22 - 25 January, the 76th edition of Rallye Monte Carlo
Is this airing on TV? I have heard nothing about it! SPEED channel sucks! What Dish Co. do I have to pay to get good Non-Nascar/Racing/Rally footage???

I guess given the lack of comments about the Monte, everybody must be as underwhelmed as I am?
With the small field, only 12 stages contributing to the result, Ford team orders and a general sense of doom foreboding future changes in the regulations (hell I don't even know that is happening this year!) are we all feeing a bit down on WRC at the moment? I suppose it was a great result for Loeb, taking his second straight Monte. Nice for Ford to fill the out the podium and take the lead in the manufacturer's championship. Best result ever for Peugeot on the Monte, getting both it's new 307s to the finish and at times showing genuine pace. A not too disapointing result for Mitsubishi, who showed some early speed with Gali and perseverance getting Panizzi to the finish, (although how Ralliart can show up with such a half baked car after supposedly taking a whole year off to develop it is a mystery ) Solberg too even took a SS win before dropping down the order with accident damage on the last few stages. Maybe I'll be able to get more excited when the highlight package makes it to Australian TV in about a month... |

Re: 22 - 25 January, the 76th edition of Rallye Monte Carlo
I haven't been able to folow it closely after Friday, sorry, hence my lack of comments. Was out of town.
Loeb seems to be becoming another Tommi - Monte specialist Any idea if ford, Subaru and Citroen are coming out with new cars this season at all? The 307 showed good pace, and I'm sure they'll solve the reliability issues, and Mitsu rather disapointed.

Re: 22 - 25 January, the 76th edition of Rallye Monte Carlo
OK, I have to ask: what team orders at Ford? Haven't seen any mention on wrc.com or rally-live.
