Monte-Carlo Rally 2022
Have a good lunch break everyone and see you at 14:08 p.m. for the start of the 2nd loop of the day!
After Loeb passed Evans, SS11 was neutralized and the red flag was raised. Last to pass, Greensmith was forced to slow down. The Englishman should be credited with a fixed time
14’22″5 for Loeb at the finish who concedes 5″4 on Ogier now alone in control of the Monte-Carlo Rally thanks to this special victory
Ogier responds with a 14’17″1 which allows him to temporarily take control of SS11 with a 4″5 lead over Rovanperä. The Gapençais could take the lead alone if Loeb does not do better
Neuville comes to the end of the ordeal, he who was driving without snow tires… 14’57″2 for the Belgian, 35″6 from the lead
Evans in the ravine! The Welshman lost control of his Yaris on a fast right and is now trying to get back on the road with the help of spectators. He's going to lose a lot!
15’07″3 for Tänak who lost 45″7. The impact in the 2nd sector seems to have had consequences on the mechanics of his i20. On arrival, his windshield was splashed by one of his engine fluids
14’44″7 for Solberg who finished 23″1 despite a damaged car
A time ahead of Rovanperä, Breen finally finished 4 tenths behind the Finn. 14’22 for the Irishman
Frightened also for Tänak who did not go far from the ravine. The Estonian finally hit the front but was able to get back on the road. As a reminder, it does not include any snow tires.
Neuville spins in a hairpin in the 2nd sector. The Belgian, suffering since the start of the rally, was able to leave quickly
The conditions are very difficult in the first half of the special with a lot of ice. Drivers sometimes drive below 20 km/h!
A time close to Rovanperä, Katsuta finally finished 14″1 with a time of 14’35″7
Solberg finally took the start of SS11. The Swede still drives a very damaged i20
Rovanperä reached the finish in 14’21”6 after a special where the conditions changed a lot between icy tarmac and dry tarmac
This is a very difficult stage since the road is icy over a large part. The difference could be made during this SS11
The route of SS11, the last of the first loop of the day
After a delayed start to SS11, Rovanperä attacks!
The start of SS11 is scheduled for 11:16 a.m.
