.OfficialWRC burst into life after a brief hibernation last weekend with its iconic Rally Monte Carlo curtain raiser. TommyHoward reviews all of the highs and lows from the event. Feature:
Much like Roger Federer’s domination of Wimbledon in his prime, watching Sebastien Ogier master the Monte Carlo Rally year after year is one those awe inspiring sporting moments.
The Frenchman led from Thursday right through to Sunday, racking up nine stage wins from the 18 tests to become the most successful driver in the events history with a ninth win to join those achieved in 2009, 2014-2019 and 2021). "We still need to enjoy these moments and that's why we are still here [in the WRC], to catch some victories like this. To win a famous one like Monte has no price.
Had Evans avoided a puncture on Stage 5 he could have given Ogier a run for his money. The Welshman was among the few to be able to live with Ogier’s speed which is encouraging for the championship, having struggled to gel with the GR Yaris at times last year. At the previous tarmac rally on home soil in Japan last November, Toyota were second best to Hyundai. After both teams elected to upgrade their respective GR Yaris [engine and aero] and i20 Ns [aero] over the winter, a close battle was anticipated.
