25. 01. 2026 14:22 CET 17 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't understand it at the moment. It's another emotional day. The most difficult rally I've done in my life. It's my first rally on tarmac for me in the car on tarmac and he we are winning the thing. I just want to say a bigh thank you to Toyota for the trust and the belief. The teamwork has been exceptional.
25. 01. 2026 14:18 CET 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Massive congratulations to Oliver he has done an amazing job and first rally inside the big team let's say. They deserve it a lot.
25. 01. 2026 14:07 CET 17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a difficult weekend. Mainly happy to be on the podium again. For sure Oliver has done better than everybody was expecting. He has been doing a great job. Good for the championship to have some fresh thing, looking forward to fight with him.
25. 01. 2026 14:06 CET 17 (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): was out of road
25. 01. 2026 14:03 CET 17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I didn't touch anything. I had a good stage, but my studs were quite out, so the car is a moving a lot on the tarmac. I think it's looking nice from the outside. I am pleased with my Sunday, I hope we will get some good points from this weekend.
25. 01. 2026 13:59 CET 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had only two studs and two snow tyres, not easy. Struggling really to find the feeling the whole weekend. Don't really know how to use the tyres in these conditions. I have been a passenger more times than actually driving the car.
25. 01. 2026 13:56 CET 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'm not really happy with the weekend. It was very demanding with the conditions. There is a lot of things to improve. Ilm not sure what was wrong completely in the first two days. I was missing something. Sorry dfor the team for struggling I will juts try to get better. The next one is Sweden and I will try to take the best result.
25. 01. 2026 13:52 CET 17 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was very tough for everyone and I never thought I would be here. The last six weeks have been a mental mess as I never thought I would be coming back to this place. I feel like I don't have to fear Monte anymore.
25. 01. 2026 13:50 CET 17 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): It is very incedible. I'm just happy, Thanks a lot to my team and it is my first rally with them. This is a win, wow. This result is more important for my future.
25. 01. 2026 13:49 CET 17 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun
25. 01. 2026 13:43 CET 17 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): There is nothing better.It was. really tough race. I have heard many say this was the hardest Monte Carlo in the last 10 years. I'm proud of the job we have done this weekend. we had some ups and downs and we will try to fix this.
25. 01. 2026 13:40 CET 17 flash info (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): It is not what we expected at the beginning. We learned a lot. We had some chances and we did some mistakes. It is Monte Carlo and we finish it the first time in this category and it is a dream come true.
25. 01. 2026 13:07 CET 17 Temperature is high, snow is going down very quickly. Partly snow, partly slash, partly wet, partly dry.
25. 01. 2026 12:37 CET 17 Starting order: Pelamourgues, Dapra, L.Rossel, Paddon, Katsuta, Neuville, Fourmaux, Ogier, Evans, Solberg, Camilli, Ingram, Gryazin

25. 01. 2026 12:00 CET 16 (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): damaged wheel
25. 01. 2026 11:46 CET 16 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was tricky, because the beginning was nice. In the end they said maybe snow, but there was definitely snow, so I just went out a bit. I'm calm.
25. 01. 2026 11:45 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Maybe the Hyundais have the snow tyre, pretty difficult now on the stud.
25. 01. 2026 11:44 CET 16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is still much easier as there is a line at least.
25. 01. 2026 11:43 CET 16 retired (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): retired after SS 16
25. 01. 2026 11:42 CET 16 (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
25. 01. 2026 11:41 CET 16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): For Super sunday we are not fighting with Rally1 cars we are fighting with Rally3 cars so we need to try to get the best of it. We were betting on the tyre choice and I think it is going to work. I had a very good stage.
25. 01. 2026 11:38 CET 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was ok. We discovered a problem with the tyre before the stage so we had to change to another one that is not in a. good shape. I saw Josh's lines so I took it a bit steady. There was a nail in the tyre.
25. 01. 2026 11:37 CET 16 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Got caught out on the slush and crashed into the armco. I'm sorry for the team, it has been a disaster weekend.
25. 01. 2026 11:36 CET 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Just some slush and the line, just hit the barrier outside, but nothing special.
25. 01. 2026 11:33 CET 16 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's definitely better, but there is a lot of melting snow and slush which makes it even harder.
25. 01. 2026 11:31 CET 16 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): clipped the barrier
25. 01. 2026 11:26 CET 16 (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): was out of road, hit the barrier
25. 01. 2026 11:22 CET 16 retired (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): accident in SS 16
25. 01. 2026 11:06 CET 16 Temperature is high, most of the snow is melting to wet.
25. 01. 2026 10:39 CET 16 Start will be delayed for 6 minutes.
25. 01. 2026 10:37 CET 15 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): The feeling is always good, but it's really really tricky. I have no grip, just focussing on my driving and finishing the stages.
25. 01. 2026 10:32 CET 15 retired (25 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): accident in SS 15
25. 01. 2026 10:29 CET 15 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had a small spin, braking through a corner into a hairpin, it's so easy to do. Nothing serious. I lost ten seconds at least. Not enjoying it in this position when you're leading.
25. 01. 2026 10:27 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): You think it's getting better towards the end, but it's not. Super difficult. Who knows what it's going to look like in the Power Stage.
25. 01. 2026 10:26 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not fun, we just drove super slow on the downhill. We just try to finish the rally, it was not the most fun in my career but we just have to finish it.
25. 01. 2026 10:21 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We touched something on the first corner, I had nothing in my notes so clearly I didn't see something there. Obviosuly on three studs and one snow it's not that easy. Later I had some understeer and clipped something in the ditch, but nothing serious.
25. 01. 2026 10:20 CET 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I don't know what happened to Thierry. We didn't lose any time to him but I was bit disturbed., It is going to be quicker behind. It will be difficult but I will try my best. I am happy with my pace
25. 01. 2026 10:17 CET 15 (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): spun
25. 01. 2026 10:14 CET 15 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was ok to be fair it was consistent on the uphill. Some places turn to slush and we found that is tricky to evacuate the water as you get understeer and then oversteer on the exit. I think it will improve.
25. 01. 2026 10:14 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There is huge amount of snow. There is zero grip. Ot is really tricky and no grip from the studs. Not enjoyable.
25. 01. 2026 10:13 CET 15 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): hit the rock
25. 01. 2026 10:11 CET 15 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The road is evolving a lot. The second half of the stage will be a minute quicker later on.
25. 01. 2026 10:10 CET 15 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is melting quite a bit. Even from our route note crew the road is changing a lot. It is very good practice for car control and being patient.
25. 01. 2026 09:49 CET 15 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): stopped in stage to change puncture
25. 01. 2026 09:31 CET 15 Start will be delayed for 6 minutes.
25. 01. 2026 09:15 CET 15 Weather conditions are various from wet on start through slash, ice and snow.
25. 01. 2026 10:59 CET 14 retired (74 - Morini Olivier / Marquez Stéphane): retired after SS 14
25. 01. 2026 10:58 CET 14 retired (72 - Michellier Gilles / Richard Christophe): retired before SS 14
25. 01. 2026 09:06 CET 14 (25 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): was out of road
25. 01. 2026 09:00 CET 14 (30 - Kohn Filip / Whittock Ross): puncture
25. 01. 2026 08:40 CET 14 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Right now I don't care about Sunday points, it's a unique incredible position to be in. I just try to be clean and safe. It's so easy to make a mistake, too risky to do anything.
25. 01. 2026 08:39 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very difficult. The grip at the top is completely non existent. It was impossible.
25. 01. 2026 08:39 CET 14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I cannot go up the hill.
25. 01. 2026 08:35 CET 14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): There was much less slush and snow at the beginning than what we had from route note crew. I tried to be efficient but we have no grip on any hairpins. I'm looking for traction all the time.
25. 01. 2026 08:34 CET 14 Stage continues with 9 minutes break.
25. 01. 2026 08:33 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was probably the cleaning effect. The first part is cleaning. I tired to have a good stage but when it is slush I have no confidence.
25. 01. 2026 08:31 CET 14 Stage is stopped after Solberg because of spectators issues.
25. 01. 2026 08:31 CET 14 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Honestly it felt like I was stopped everywhere. I was trying to be quite careful. I've never driven a stage so slow in my life. It looks like we did a good job.
25. 01. 2026 08:27 CET 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know, very tricky. In the beginning it's melting a lot, I completely backed off because I wanted to finish this rally.
25. 01. 2026 08:26 CET 14 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We just want to have fun today. It has been a pretty stressful week. Obviously very slippery and it think it will get better. Not often it takes 14:30 to do 12km I think we were faster in recce.
25. 01. 2026 08:23 CET 14 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is vert tedious especially going up thorough the hairpins. It is good fun but it is just not going anywhere.
25. 01. 2026 08:13 CET 14 retired (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): technical problem before SS 14
25. 01. 2026 07:55 CET 14 Tyre choice: Ogier 6x stud, Neuville 4x stud + 2x winter, Munster 4x stud + 2x winter, Fourmaux 4x stud + 2x winter, Katsuta 5x stud + 1x winter, Paddon 6x stud, Evans 6x stud, McErlean 4x stud + 2x winter, Armstrong 4x stud + 2x winter, Solberg 6x stud
25. 01. 2026 07:50 CET 14 Most of the road is slash, partly full snow. No snowing or rain.
24. 01. 2026 21:31 CET 13 (61 - Berard Christophe / Bernabo Christophe): spun few times
24. 01. 2026 21:01 CET 13 (51 - Royere Eric / Grenier Alexis): reversed at donut
24. 01. 2026 20:48 CET 13 (49 - Fontana Matteo / Arnaboldi Alessandro): spun at donut
24. 01. 2026 20:39 CET 13 (56 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): spun at donut
24. 01. 2026 20:34 CET 13 (45 - Drivakos Dimitrios / Bante Ekaterini): spun and stalled engine at donut
24. 01. 2026 20:25 CET 13 (46 - Marchino Filippo / Ometto Pietro Elia): spun and stalled engine at donut
24. 01. 2026 20:23 CET 13 (43 - Boland Eamonn / "MJ" ..): reversed at donut
24. 01. 2026 20:20 CET 13 flash info (42 - Keferböck Johannes / Minor Ilka): It was a very tough day, so tricky all the time. We are happy to be here. This one is also not easy to drive, because there is so much water on the road.
24. 01. 2026 20:19 CET 13 (42 - Keferböck Johannes / Minor Ilka): stalled engine at start
24. 01. 2026 20:15 CET 13 flash info (37 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): It's a crazy day to finish a crazy day. Tomorrow will be a big day. Today we had some good Monte stages with a lot of snow and ice. In here it was tricky, a lot of standing water.
24. 01. 2026 20:14 CET 13 (37 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): spun
24. 01. 2026 20:09 CET 13 flash info (39 - Wartique John / Andernack Maxime): Even in Monaco it's slippery. It was a crazy day, I'm super happy to be here. There were super many possibilities to do mistakes today.
24. 01. 2026 20:06 CET 13 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's incerdible, we have 10 centimeters of water. Thanks to all the spectators for staying here. It's more or less a clean day for me. Tomorrow is another day. It's not an easy rally.
24. 01. 2026 20:05 CET 13 flash info (32 - Chatillon Mattéo / Cornuau Maxence): So much aquaplaning, it's really really tough. Amazing to drive here, fantastic.
24. 01. 2026 20:01 CET 13 flash info (34 - Delecour Eliott / De Castelli Sabrina): It was impossible to drive because we have a lot of water. It was impossible, impossible! I don't understand.
24. 01. 2026 20:00 CET 13 (34 - Delecour Eliott / De Castelli Sabrina): spun, stalled engine
24. 01. 2026 19:55 CET 13 flash info (30 - Kohn Filip / Whittock Ross): Super fun, slicks on full wet. Quite crazy, aquaplaning a lot. But we are here. Extreme conditions for everybody today. I am happy we somehow managed to get through the stages.
24. 01. 2026 19:51 CET 13 flash info (36 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Honestly, not bad. Really heavy rain and minute for minute more water on the stage. For sure it's harder.
24. 01. 2026 19:50 CET 13 (36 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): spun
24. 01. 2026 19:46 CET 13 flash info (25 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It's very wet and slippery, but a super nice experience on the Monaco circuit. Still a long difficult day tomorrow, but I am enjoying this rally.
24. 01. 2026 19:42 CET 13 flash info (31 - Ingram Christopher / Kihurani Alexander): The donut was just ice, just aquaplaning the whole way. It's good to be here and survive it, let's go for tomorrow. It's been the most difficult rally of my life.
24. 01. 2026 19:38 CET 13 (31 - Ingram Christopher / Kihurani Alexander): spun twice
24. 01. 2026 19:38 CET 13 flash info (24 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): This one was full of standing water and I didn't want to risk anything. Very sad, in the 12th stage the connector of the alternator broke and we had to fix it. It was a bit of a shame.
24. 01. 2026 19:29 CET 13 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I did a terrible first donut, so that was not good. The second one was all right. It's raining so much and there's so much water on the track and it's really tricky. I didn't want to mess it up after a great weekend so far, you know? But it's been a fantastic day, fantastic weekend so far. Really tricky out there, of course, as everyone's seen. I think everyone's been off a little bit everywhere, but I am in a good position. Let's see tomorrow - it's probably going to be another crazy day.
24. 01. 2026 19:24 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It doesn't matter how slow you think you have to go, sometimes you don't realise how slow is slow! Difficult, and obviously raining a lot heavier now, so not ideal. I'm guessing from the rest of the rally that tomorrow is probably not going to be easy, so let's see.
24. 01. 2026 19:20 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): No, I didn't put on any show. I think we looked ridiculous in here, but that's the way it is.
24. 01. 2026 19:15 CET 13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's quite tricky with slick tyres, but it seems to be working a little bit. Let's see the guys with the snow tyres behind, but to be fair, this weekend we are not competing in the same level. At the end, I'm very pleased that we have some tricky conditions in Monte Carlo. It's what you are expecting to find here. It's for sure difficult. It's nice to finish also today on a Super Special in Monaco. First time for me, and I'm really enjoying it, so that's a great idea.
24. 01. 2026 19:12 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Actually, the rain came really at a bad moment for us! We had a slick tyre and it would have worked quite okay, but there was some standing water now, so not that easy. Hello to all my friends and family who are watching us today here in Monaco. I'm happy today is over. It was a tough one and looking forward for tomorrow, which is going to be a very challenging one as well.
24. 01. 2026 19:10 CET 13 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): also had issues in that stupid donut
24. 01. 2026 19:10 CET 13 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It's interesting, let's see. The cobbles on the donut, I think that's an interesting place to put the donut on there because it's just impossible with slicks to get a clean donut around there. A bit of a mistake again on tyres, but it's not easy. If it was you'd get it right all the time.
24. 01. 2026 19:05 CET 13 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Slippy. A bit unlucky, I should have crossed [the tyres] the other way, but it's how it is. It's like ice skating there. I had a super soft on the rear right and I spun.
24. 01. 2026 19:01 CET 13 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): stalled engine during donut at barrel
24. 01. 2026 19:01 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was extremely slippery in many, many places and no confidence, but I was just being tidy. Hopefully Morizo-san was watching this. I don't know if our time is going to be good or not, but it was a good show.
24. 01. 2026 18:56 CET 13 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Well, to be honest, it's been a pretty poor rally [for us], but you've got to remember you're here in a Rally1 car, rallying around Monaco. I've got to remember to smile because I'm very lucky to have this opportunity. We'll have a good sleep tonight, reset, and see if we can improve tomorrow.
24. 01. 2026 18:54 CET 13 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): The donut on the cobbles... full slicks in this type of weather isn't so good. It's nice to drive around such a famous circuit, obviously with the limelight of Monaco, but we could have definitely done it better.
24. 01. 2026 18:50 CET 13 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): The feeling is so good, honestly, but it's really slippery. Tomorrow it's a long, long day. I will just focus on my driving and we will see. I don't know the weather on Turini, it's always tricky, but we will see. Just happy with my rally for this moment.
24. 01. 2026 18:45 CET 13 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): I think that this is one of the best experiences in my life. It's amazing to drive on an historic circuit like Monaco. Happy also with the five seconds on Camilli. That for sure is something important for tomorrow.
24. 01. 2026 18:40 CET 13 flash info (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): It's very good for the show to be here and to show the rally as well in the city. It's very important, I think, for the rally world. And this stage is quite tricky, I have to be honest. Very slippery, especially because of the white paint, but it's all okay. Let's see tomorrow.
24. 01. 2026 18:30 CET 13 Road is completely wet, it is raining.
24. 01. 2026 17:40 CET 13 Starting order: Camilli, Dapra, L.Rossel, McErlean, Paddon, Katsuta, Munster, Armstrong, Neuville, Fourmaux, Ogier, Evans, Solberg

24. 01. 2026 13:45 CET 12 flash info (30 - Kohn Filip / Whittock Ross): Really tricky with the slush. Lot of times you are just aquaplaning and praying to stay on the road. Very lucky to be here.
24. 01. 2026 13:45 CET 12 flash info (36 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Easier than this morning, but unfortunately the tyre is not working. We went off a little bit into a small ditch. Very tricky.
24. 01. 2026 13:45 CET 12 flash info (25 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Really tricky, I think everyone said that. Really really slippery, there is no line. But we are here, so we will go to Monaco.
24. 01. 2026 13:45 CET 12 flash info (31 - Ingram Christopher / Kihurani Alexander): That was the most difficult stage ever. I went off a few times, I just backed right off and survived to the end. I just really want to get to Monaco. There were cars just everywhere. We almost rolled ourselves so we just needed to go slow after that.
24. 01. 2026 13:44 CET 12 flash info (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): Not happy. Did one little mistakes and we are here thanks to the spectators, but we lost a lot of time. I'm so sad, because we did a good stage.
24. 01. 2026 13:39 CET 12 (37 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): was out of road

24. 01. 2026 13:31 CET 12 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Very tricky. We didn't see Gryazin, hope they are okay. Tonight I slept one hour, because I'm sick. Let's try to enjoy Monaco and then continue tomorrow.
24. 01. 2026 13:31 CET 12 flash info (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): Sorry for Nikolay, it was very very tricky, I couldn't push. I spun, lost maybe 15 seconds. It was a nightmare, not a kind of stage we really enjoy.
24. 01. 2026 13:28 CET 12 (24 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): problems with alternator belt
24. 01. 2026 13:28 CET 12 (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 13:26 CET 12 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): I'm happy to finish this stage. It's just crazy, very dirty.

24. 01. 2026 13:24 CET 12 (36 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 13:19 CET 12 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know what happened, I was so careful the whole stage. I tried to follow the ruts and on the exit there was just full snow. I was very lucky to get out of it. The time means I could have backed off more.
24. 01. 2026 13:19 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Unbelievable. You think it's improving, but you just get the nervous twitch from the car. People always say it's the worst stage, this one was very close to that.
24. 01. 2026 13:19 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I backed off. Not wanted to go for it in that condition. Basically undriveable.
24. 01. 2026 13:19 CET 12 retired (29 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): accident in SS 12
24. 01. 2026 13:18 CET 12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Conditions were terrible. This morning it was quite enjoyable, but no there was so much slush and mud, the tyre just can't evacuate it. I was worried about the spectators when we spun because I didn't want to hit them. Please be safe.
24. 01. 2026 13:18 CET 12 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Not much more to say, very tricky for everyone. The car is very difficult to drive in these conditions. I had no gravel notes so we kind of did it blind. We couldn't read the grip at the place where we went of, pretty embarrassing.

24. 01. 2026 13:16 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was a passenger from the beginning to the end. I had no control and said it 10 times to Martijn. Still, as soon as you touch the slush and the ice a little bit the back steps out.
24. 01. 2026 13:14 CET 12 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was probably more difficult than the first pass. Sometimes you are a bit of a passenger when it aquaplanes at the frontend. I don't have the confidence, so I just get through.
24. 01. 2026 13:12 CET 12 (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 13:10 CET 12 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is definitely worse. It's more mixed and very very difficult on the slush, no grip at all. Aaron did a good job and tried to do it with the partial info from the gravel crew, we were missing the last few kilometers.
24. 01. 2026 13:06 CET 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is definitely worse. It's more mixed and very very difficult on the slush, no grip at all. Aaron did a good job and tried to do it with the partial info from the gravel crew, we were missing the last few kilometers.
24. 01. 2026 13:04 CET 12 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun
24. 01. 2026 13:03 CET 12 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): With the slush we can clear it and it's just snapping from understeer to oversteer when you go out of the line. I guess we lost a lot in there.
24. 01. 2026 12:59 CET 12 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): using part of pacenotes from mobile phone

24. 01. 2026 10:44 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very very difficult. You come onto to some ice and snow but when you are on slush it is a lottery. Towards the end the gravel crew had it full black ice, but it has evolved so much. I wasn't brave enough to ignore what they said.
24. 01. 2026 10:42 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): A lot of grip change and a bit more safe information. It is how it is. I didn't take the chance of the road improving
24. 01. 2026 10:40 CET 11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): To be fair it is very tricky conditions with a mix of tarmac slush and ice. It is proper M Monte Carlo conditions. The previous stage felt like we were in Sweden, not Monte Carlo, it was fantastic to drive in those conditions.
24. 01. 2026 10:38 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Honestly it didn't feel too bad but we had a lot of ice in the notes and we see that it is maybe gone or not so it is difficult to trust.
24. 01. 2026 10:38 CET 11 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We made a couple of small damper tweaks going into this stage and it made a difference to the balance and the performance . We had a good run, I can push and pull back and know what the car will do.
24. 01. 2026 10:33 CET 11 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I is getting harder and herder. I know we have to finish and the when you that the room for error is so small.
24. 01. 2026 10:33 CET 11 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): First of all it's better with power steering. The conditions are getting better and better. The gravel crew gave us a lot of black ice which is not there anymore. You really need to stay in the lines because the tyre doesn't evacuate the slush.
24. 01. 2026 10:31 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car is good. The conditions are getting better and better so for sure we cannot compare the times so well. Hopefully we can catch Hayden.
24. 01. 2026 10:31 CET 11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I think the conditions are evolving a lot. It is cleaning and making a line. It is not so straight forward.
24. 01. 2026 10:25 CET 11 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is quite strange grip levels. You se the tracks but it is slippy and icy and we knew that. What a day.
24. 01. 2026 10:07 CET 11 Stage is mixture of wet, snow, ice and slash.
24. 01. 2026 08:42 CET 11 Start will be delayed for 15 minutes.

24. 01. 2026 10:07 CET 10 flash info (32 - Chatillon Mattéo / Cornuau Maxence): Crazy, I didn't feel the car. I try to go to the finish line on Sunday.
24. 01. 2026 10:06 CET 10 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I enjoyed it a bit more, I am a bit less sick now and can concentrate a bit more on my driving. I had a puncture on the last five kilometers, but the time is good.
24. 01. 2026 10:06 CET 10 (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): puncture
24. 01. 2026 10:05 CET 10 (41 - Mella Stefano / Tramontin Veronica): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 10:04 CET 10 flash info (34 - Delecour Eliott / De Castelli Sabrina): Conditions are really difficult, hard to find the grip. In the middle part there was zero grip. Complicated to find the speed and security.
24. 01. 2026 10:04 CET 10 flash info (25 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Just went wide in an open area and it was quite deep, so couldn't get out immediately. Fans helped us out. Conditions are really tricky, but it's a nice Monte.
24. 01. 2026 10:03 CET 10 flash info (30 - Kohn Filip / Whittock Ross): I didn't saw Yuki was just behind us, I had lots of work to do behind the wheel. It's super tricky, I had also big moment.

24. 01. 2026 09:55 CET 10 flash info (31 - Ingram Christopher / Kihurani Alexander): Have we got a puncture? It felt like it, just glad to survive it. Can't wait for the stage in Monaco, it's going to be awesome.
24. 01. 2026 09:55 CET 10 flash info (24 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): No, first time for me in these conditions. Even though we didn't have any real moments I was constantly thinking we are going off. Definetly good for the experience.
24. 01. 2026 09:55 CET 10 flash info (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): Sometimes I am really slow for sure, other times a bit faster.
24. 01. 2026 09:55 CET 10 flash info (29 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): First time for me in these conditions, so it's really difficult for me, really tricky to be confident.
24. 01. 2026 09:55 CET 10 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Very tricky, more than Thursday. Many places we can do better, but looking at the time it's not that bad. Let's see in the next stages.
24. 01. 2026 09:49 CET 10 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I tried to drive clean in the beginning, but then we had no intercom but I remembered the beginning of the stage. Today I smashed into a bridge instead of a tree, but not with the tyre, so the car is straight. After that I backed off a bit.
24. 01. 2026 09:48 CET 10 flash info (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): I couldn't go at the start, just couldn't get off the start. Before the start I noticed my studs are much smaller than the ones of the others, so I knew I would lose a lot of time.
24. 01. 2026 09:46 CET 10 (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): was again out of road
24. 01. 2026 09:43 CET 10 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): It's crazy, honestly it's fun, but I never have grip. Just finishing the stage without mistakes is the most important thing.
24. 01. 2026 09:37 CET 10 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I didn't prep my studs very well so I had no grip at all. He gained a lot of time for sure. It is so easy to do a mistake and the rally can be over in half a second.
24. 01. 2026 09:35 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): l'm a bit relieved in a away as I had no idea how i was doing. It felt so slow but it is the same for everyone.
24. 01. 2026 09:33 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a tricky stage with very low grip. I'm happy to be at the end. The top spot is too far and we have to do our best to fight for the podium.
24. 01. 2026 09:32 CET 10 (25 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 09:32 CET 10 (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): was again out of road
24. 01. 2026 09:31 CET 10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I had a very good stage and I'm quite happy with it. The feeling was quite good compared to the previous days.
24. 01. 2026 09:31 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That was 27 minutes of pure stress and driving.
24. 01. 2026 09:31 CET 10 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): On one of the slow right corners I clipped the edge of a bridge I think. I had to be so careful on the way down with the damage. I'm sure we lost a lot of time. We had absolutely no grip.
24. 01. 2026 09:31 CET 10 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I've never seen conditions like this, I have no idea how to drive it. Absolutely no feeling if you're doing good or not. We are here, not much more to say to that.
24. 01. 2026 09:30 CET 10 (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 09:30 CET 10 (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): was out of road
24. 01. 2026 09:26 CET 10 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I had a hit on a bank at the beginning and it knocked my confidence early on. I think the conditions are sometimes are getting worse as it is becoming slush.
24. 01. 2026 09:25 CET 10 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): puncture
24. 01. 2026 09:22 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Obviously it is much easier to drive with the power steering. It was quite. big hit yesterday and we lost power steering after that. The stage is developing and getting better.
24. 01. 2026 09:19 CET 10 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is proper Monte full snow and ice. I was clean through it.
24. 01. 2026 09:17 CET 10 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): I think laugh is all you can do. It is actually fun to drive but there is no traction or grip. That last seven kilometers with the black ice was lethal.
24. 01. 2026 08:51 CET 10 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): stalled engine on start
24. 01. 2026 08:30 CET 10 Stage is full of ice, snow and slash. Some parts were salted by organiser. Temperature around 0°C.
24. 01. 2026 08:26 CET 10 Start will be delayed for 15 minutes.
23. 01. 2026 20:20 CET 9 Stage was cancelled.
23. 01. 2026 20:10 CET 9 Stage was redflagged because of spectators issues.

23. 01. 2026 19:06 CET 9 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Really hard, not happy with the stage. Very tricky in the first part with only two studs. We had a big moment in the first stage of the loop, very lucky to be here. But we are still going, two days to go.
23. 01. 2026 19:06 CET 9 flash info (24 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It has been really difficult. I don't have a lot of confidence in these conditions.
23. 01. 2026 18:57 CET 9 flash info (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): I have a lot of things to say. We finished the day. In the first stage of the afternoon loop I made a mistake, but we are here, it's okay.
23. 01. 2026 18:56 CET 9 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was too slow in the beginning, not really enjoyed the stage, because we came to the stage in the last moment and I had no time to prepare. I want to sit a bit and relax before the stage, so I struggled to get into the rhythm.
23. 01. 2026 18:56 CET 9 flash info (31 - Ingram Christopher / Kihurani Alexander): It's just been such a challenging day, today has been a hard comeback, it's so hard to come back to this level after this long.
23. 01. 2026 18:56 CET 9 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): I'm really happy. It's crazy. Thanks a lot to my team. Tomorrow will be a hard day with the weather.
23. 01. 2026 18:49 CET 9 flash info (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): Not so bad, I improved. I'm a bit too careful on the snow parts it seems, but I want to get to the finish.
23. 01. 2026 18:46 CET 9 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I just stalled the car under braking in the snow [lost five seconds]. It was a really tricky stage and just a matter of getting through. The slower you drive the harder it gets. It is a hard balance.
23. 01. 2026 18:43 CET 9 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was pure survival to be fair. Coming into this stage I had two slicks on the ca and two people had already gone off. I just tried to get through and there is not much to gain with the tyres on the car. You dopmnlt feel a superhero but you have to be smart sometimes.
23. 01. 2026 18:43 CET 9 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We are enjoying a lot, maybe it's one last dance so we just have a nice time. Without the strange punctures and the power steering issue we would be in place for a nice result.
23. 01. 2026 18:39 CET 9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Since we left the service we had a lot of electronic issue with fuel pump and handbrake. I have no handbrake and nothing to save me if I need it. It was tricky loop for us and was quite challenging. We are now a bit in no man's land.
23. 01. 2026 18:38 CET 9 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I just wanted to get through this one as there was so much happening. It was not a good tyre choice. I extended my lead so it is fantastic. Seb is not talking to me so much when I am asked if the world champion is still offering advice.
23. 01. 2026 18:37 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is big job to pass through the stages. My hands are quite bad but it is okay. It is like this. We still have two days to go.
23. 01. 2026 18:36 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I just got hooked in a cut and no way to get out. There was a car in front of us that probably made the ditch. Luckily the fans were there to get us out. We are here and the day is over but it has been a bit of a struggle. But we are here.
23. 01. 2026 18:34 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Obviously I wasn't brave enough and wasn't going well enough in the ruts. It has been okay a bit up and down but ok.
23. 01. 2026 18:26 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I don't know. It is survival mode because there is so much mud on the road. We tried to have a better afternoon.
23. 01. 2026 18:26 CET 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Quite soon in the stage Josh was in the snow bank and I wasn't sure if there was any ice I didn't know. We are safely through and we will try and improve our own things tomorrow.
23. 01. 2026 18:25 CET 9 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): still powersteering issues

23. 01. 2026 17:32 CET 8 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Quite biblical weather in there. Somewhere in the narrow section I had a slow puncture, could've stopped earlier to change it. Front right, it was a winter without studs.
23. 01. 2026 17:28 CET 8 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Jon pulled over in front of us and he obviously had a puncture. He was quicker I will give him that. I don't like all this mud.
23. 01. 2026 17:26 CET 8 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was really muddy and one or two big slides in there.
23. 01. 2026 17:24 CET 8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I don't think it the electrical/handbrake issue is fully sorted but we can go. We had an issue on the road section and I can only say thanks to Jon Armstrong and he helped us a bit. Thank you.
23. 01. 2026 17:21 CET 8 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is dark and dusk light it is very unfair I can see nothing compared to Ogier. It was raining crazy in the beginning stage and the middle.
23. 01. 2026 17:19 CET 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Driving without powersteering is harder than pulling 100 kilograms of stones.
23. 01. 2026 17:16 CET 8 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): stopped in stage with puncture, continue
23. 01. 2026 17:14 CET 8 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): problems with powersteering
23. 01. 2026 17:14 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was hoping for more. Actually, nothing went wrong. I was fighting through the stage.
23. 01. 2026 17:11 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was struggling in the thick mud to turn the car so I'm sure that is where I lost it the time.
23. 01. 2026 17:09 CET 8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There was a mistake from myself I didn't put the extra light on the car so it was pretty dark.
23. 01. 2026 17:07 CET 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I'm trying some things and trying to find some pace.
23. 01. 2026 17:07 CET 8 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is wet in general with a lot of pollution.
23. 01. 2026 16:56 CET 8 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): hit the bank
23. 01. 2026 16:41 CET 8 Stage is completely wet with lot of mud, it is raining.
23. 01. 2026 15:54 CET 7 (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): was out of road
23. 01. 2026 15:53 CET 7 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's consistent, but just a lot of mud there. It's almost like Rally GB in places. We're making small improvements with the car, so we just found something else that's given me a little bit more confidence, but ultimately, I'm the first to admit these are not my sort of conditions either. I'm just doing what I can within what we've got.
23. 01. 2026 15:53 CET 7 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It just took me by surprise, the aquaplaning that we had. The whole stage was quite okay until that point, and then just coming into the corner, trying to position the car, and it just started to understeer. We hit the bank and I'm not sure what damage we have, but we'll go and see if we can continue.
23. 01. 2026 15:49 CET 7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Quite different conditions, no ice at all. Difficult to trust the front tyres, had to use the handbrake a lot. Not very efficient, but good for the fans.
23. 01. 2026 15:46 CET 7 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Really tricky, so much mud everywhere. Not easy with the tyres, but I try my best. Very careful, but I think everyone has to do. I just try to control myself.
23. 01. 2026 15:46 CET 7 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): puncture
23. 01. 2026 15:46 CET 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have no handbrake, so I had to reverse in the hairpins. We are going to fix it and it's going to be okay.
23. 01. 2026 15:45 CET 7 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
23. 01. 2026 15:43 CET 7 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): problems with handbrake
23. 01. 2026 15:41 CET 7 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): spun
23. 01. 2026 15:41 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are here. The road is changing all the time, we had much more ice in the notes.
23. 01. 2026 15:40 CET 7 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): power steering issues
23. 01. 2026 15:40 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit less ice and snow than in the morning, but now it's the mud we have to deal with. There is a lot of it.
23. 01. 2026 15:39 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's super muddy. Just trying to stay out of trouble. There are a lot of things that can happen.
23. 01. 2026 15:38 CET 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): A bit less ice and snow than in the morning, but now it's the mud we have to deal with. There is a lot of it.
23. 01. 2026 15:37 CET 7 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It's crazy, a lot of cuts and more water than we expected. Strange feeling with the car in some junctions. Maybe it's me.
23. 01. 2026 15:15 CET 7 rain started
23. 01. 2026 15:09 CET 7 Stage is mostly wet with lot of mud from cuts, temperature between 3°C and 5°C.
23. 01. 2026 13:44 CET 6 (73 - Palmero Jean-Paul / Pastorino Mattia): was out of road

23. 01. 2026 13:02 CET 6 (38 - Burri Olivier / Fellay Stéphane): was out of road
23. 01. 2026 12:33 CET 6 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): Ok I'm really happy to finish this stage it was really complicated. No problem I just finish the stage without trouble.
23. 01. 2026 12:32 CET 6 flash info (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): I don't know, difficult to say. I don't want to take so much risk. I felt okay, enjoyed a bit, but very tricky conditions.
23. 01. 2026 12:29 CET 6 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): At the start I was really careful and couple of times I caught the edge where the clean line was. I was in the ditch a couple of times. I could have been faster but we are happy enough.
23. 01. 2026 12:27 CET 6 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I'm just being really careful in the snow and ice. I'm trying to get a feeling. Monte Carlo hey I don't know who enjoys this rally. I enjoy the car and I enjoy being here, but I don't know about these stages.
23. 01. 2026 12:23 CET 6 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is the second time today I don't know where I got the puncture.
23. 01. 2026 12:20 CET 6 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): For sure it was cleaning a little bit but there is so much mud on the other bit so I think it was same-same for everyone. I tried to push really hard for a good time and took some small risks. Long way to go and it will get even worse this afternoon.
23. 01. 2026 12:19 CET 6 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): puncture
23. 01. 2026 12:19 CET 6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was very snowy at the beginning with a lot of slush. I tried to optimise my chance for a good time in there. In the fast bits I was too careful and the car was like a boat.
23. 01. 2026 12:18 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This one I have no idea where I got the puncture. It is just annoying.
23. 01. 2026 12:14 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm happy to be here. We had a clean run. The road is cleaning a lot and it will get better and better on those slow corners.
23. 01. 2026 12:12 CET 6 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
23. 01. 2026 12:12 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very difficult coming over the mountain the snow is wet and there is no grip at all. Reasonably happy with the loop.
23. 01. 2026 12:10 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Unfortunately we are going to lose a lot in there with the slush. There ids a lot of snow. You have to drive so slow but when you get to the tarmac it is massively different.
23. 01. 2026 12:09 CET 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was quite ok but still not even close to where I would like to be. I'm trying to understand where I can still take some time. Not happy but need to keep working.
23. 01. 2026 12:07 CET 6 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was a proper one. It was so difficult at the start there was two tack going up the road and if you go off them you are a passenger. It is mental. It has been ok and we have had to be cautious. We had a good middle stage.
23. 01. 2026 11:45 CET 6 First part is full of snow and slash, raining/snowing. Later it is melting and going to wet and mud in some places.
23. 01. 2026 13:54 CET 5 retired (76 - Cagni Davide / Spezzani Alessio): retired after SS 5
23. 01. 2026 13:53 CET 5 retired (62 - Dessi Marc / Giuliano Serena): retired after SS 5
23. 01. 2026 11:48 CET 5 (40 - Piguet Julien / Haddad Marc): was out of road
23. 01. 2026 11:29 CET 5 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): It felt really good. We had a big moment in the long left with the mud. We almost touched the rear right on the wall. Happy with the speed.
23. 01. 2026 11:25 CET 5 flash info (35 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): Honestly it was completely crazy from yesterday and tomorrow it is a lot of experience but a hard experience.
23. 01. 2026 11:23 CET 5 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The stage is okay, it is too muddy. Why I have studs on one side of car and non-studded on the other? More comfortable for me.
23. 01. 2026 11:21 CET 5 flash info (31 - Ingram Christopher / Kihurani Alexander): It was okay, just gone with the wrong tyres again, should have used the super softs. It's a long rally. We need to survive to my home stage in Monaco, then we will go full attack there.
23. 01. 2026 11:19 CET 5 flash info (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): The stage is a lot of fun, a bit more easy. No problems, the car is just perfect. I like these conditions.
23. 01. 2026 11:18 CET 5 flash info (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): I don't know, I was too careful on the first one. Here I pushed quite hard. Sadly I hit a bank and stalled the car, this cost me 7-8 seconds.
23. 01. 2026 11:18 CET 5 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was surprisingly manageable to drive. I felt comfortable but we are losing some performance. The time is probably okay. We lost a bit on the wrong tyres.
23. 01. 2026 11:16 CET 5 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Front right puncture and I had to put a stud on the front. It is what it is.
23. 01. 2026 11:15 CET 5 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was tricky. There was so much mud on the road it was like a gravel stage. I can't find any rhythm so I have to stay patient.
23. 01. 2026 11:09 CET 5 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had a slow puncture for a long time but I don't know where I got it. It was nice condition in the stage though.
23. 01. 2026 11:06 CET 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It has been quite a demanding stage there was some icy patches. There is a lot of dirty coming into the stage., The feeling was muhc better than in the first one. We are searching a bit but it is ok.
23. 01. 2026 11:04 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A piece of small rock caused the tyre issue. No chance to avoid it.
23. 01. 2026 11:02 CET 5 (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): puncture
23. 01. 2026 11:01 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was a bit careful in there and it is so easy to go off. I just need to keep it neat and tidy. The rally is still long.
23. 01. 2026 11:00 CET 5 (26 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): was out of road
23. 01. 2026 10:59 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was clean enough and no issues. It is very difficult to judge [the tyre choice and a lot of very dirty parts and parts you can use the slick in there.
23. 01. 2026 10:58 CET 5 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): puncture
23. 01. 2026 10:57 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was at least a stage where there wasn't any slush to evacuate. It was okay, it was a decent drive in this one.
23. 01. 2026 10:56 CET 5 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
23. 01. 2026 10:56 CET 5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I guess nothing so special. There was much more grip on this stage. On some stages the car behind have benefit but in here it can be the opposite.
23. 01. 2026 10:55 CET 5 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): stopped in stage, continue
23. 01. 2026 10:53 CET 5 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was quite an imbalance at the end when the stud was overheating. It is just finding that balance between pushing and stepping over the edge.
23. 01. 2026 10:31 CET 5 Stage is completely wet with some possible icy patches, temperature around 3°C.
23. 01. 2026 10:14 CET 4 (37 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): was out of road
23. 01. 2026 09:42 CET 4 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I was juts trying to be really careful. The conditions were not as icy as we were expecting. I just tried to get through and make no mistakes. As you can see by Oliver;s time there is time to be had.
23. 01. 2026 09:41 CET 4 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There is a lot of tricky spots out there. The gravel note crew did great job but the road has improved a lot. We are in survival mode already.
23. 01. 2026 09:39 CET 4 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): My arms are fine. The conditions are unpredictable for sure. Sometimes I was a bit too slow but we are here and that is what matters. So much better than last ngiht.
23. 01. 2026 09:37 CET 4 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I am cautious, but having fun. The gravel crew did an amazing job in there to have everything exactly where they were, I trusted it 100%! Good job. Such a long, tricky rally and nothing is safe.
23. 01. 2026 09:34 CET 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling is not there. Nothing from me. Struggling with the grip and also the balance of the car. Actually quite struggling. I feel very slow all the time. It's gonna be a long rally.
23. 01. 2026 09:31 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was of course difficult as we expected. It is very dififuclt to know what is coming. Our approach is to be on the safe side.
23. 01. 2026 09:29 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was juts a bit careful toward the end. The road changed a lot between the gravel crew and when we came in. In many places it was very dirty. It didn't feel so fast but it should be ok. The feeling is slightly better. We still need to find the trust in the tyres that is the biggest issue.
23. 01. 2026 09:29 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very difficult to know how you're doing. Trying to use the head as much as we can, very hard to judge the pace.
23. 01. 2026 09:26 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There's faster cars coming behind. Conditions will improve. A lot of work to keep the car on the road, that's for sure.
23. 01. 2026 09:24 CET 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is really terrible feeling. Ok it is a shame what happened yesterday so today is all about learning. I was careful on this one. It was really tricky condition.
23. 01. 2026 09:22 CET 4 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was crazy. It is always changing and there is so much black ice and you can't see it. I think it is drying in places towards the end but you can't take the risk. It is an interesting start. It is stud tyre you need.
23. 01. 2026 09:07 CET 4 It is raining / snowing
23. 01. 2026 09:04 CET 4 According to zero cars 2 km of snow on highest places, otherwise mostly black ice
23. 01. 2026 08:58 CET 4 Road conditions: mixture of snow, ice, slush, wet

22. 01. 2026 21:09 CET 3 Stage is cancelled because of fog.
22. 01. 2026 21:09 CET 3 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): was out of road
22. 01. 2026 21:08 CET 3 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Louis was pulling the handbrake at the hairpins, and we had so many cuts and it's so narrow, so twisty at the beginning.
22. 01. 2026 21:07 CET 3 Stage was redflagged after Munster.
22. 01. 2026 21:06 CET 3 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): power steering issues
22. 01. 2026 21:04 CET 3 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had so much fog, seriously, I don't know what the others had, but oh my God, it's a lot of mud, you know. With this fog, I almost went off a hundred times.
22. 01. 2026 21:01 CET 3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): There was quite a lot of fog now in the stage, and it was difficult to see. I went in the ditch without knowing where I was.
22. 01. 2026 21:00 CET 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Yeah, I have no idea where to go. It was almost impossible to see anything.
22. 01. 2026 20:59 CET 3 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was out of road
22. 01. 2026 20:59 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't see anything either at the end there. These conditions are crazy. It should be cancelled before.
22. 01. 2026 20:55 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I couldn't see the road even, especially in the last part. I could only see marshal jackets.
22. 01. 2026 20:53 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There's evenings like this where you are extremely happy that it's over. This previous stage, I never experienced something like this. Absolutely zero grip. Nothing I could do with this car. So that's... Yeah, that was for sure the least enjoyable stage of my career.
22. 01. 2026 20:41 CET 3 Stage is mostly dry with some damp and wet parts, may be freezing. It is also foggy in some parts.
22. 01. 2026 20:34 CET 3 Stage will be delayed for 5 minutes.

22. 01. 2026 21:10 CET 2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): SS2 caught us out with an icy bridge, and the left rear wheel hit the barrier. The car is heading to service and we have the night to reset and come back. Crew is OK — very disappointed, but OK. Not the season start we wanted.

22. 01. 2026 19:21 CET 2 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): In one corner it is too icy there car went out but I managed to save the car. But suspension is damaged.

22. 01. 2026 19:16 CET 2 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We had a couple of moments at the end and hit bank with the right and hit the front off a wall. Hopefully we can get through the next one. It was very difficult.
22. 01. 2026 19:14 CET 2 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We are getting some welcome tonight I will tell you that. This is so tricky and when you are not confident in the car and you don't feel the grip it makes it ten times worse.

22. 01. 2026 19:09 CET 2 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): My god that is the craziest I have done in my life and I thought I went off many times. In the beginning my driving was really bad, but then on the snow I thought I'd just go for it. There were completely no lines to see.
22. 01. 2026 19:05 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was one of the most difficult stages I have done in my life. We have no grip at all. We are a passenger all through the stage. I had one spin.
22. 01. 2026 19:05 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is tricky. For us there was no chance Our gravel crew went through four hours earlier and it has all changed.

22. 01. 2026 19:00 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The conditions are crazy and we don't get any grip from these tyres. It is really really challenging.
22. 01. 2026 18:57 CET 2 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was in the ditch
22. 01. 2026 18:57 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): If you told me I was two minutes slower I would have believed you. It is horrendous. It is so much worse obviously now it is freezing. It is so difficult.
22. 01. 2026 18:56 CET 2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I have never seen like that in my whole life. Such a shit tyre. Unbelievable.

22. 01. 2026 20:45 CET 1 retired (76 - Cagni Davide / Spezzani Alessio): retired after SS 1
22. 01. 2026 17:01 CET 1 flash info (23 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We had a different tyre choice from the guys in front. It was very tricky. I didn't drive 100% as I was bit scared by the downhill braking. The next one will be more tricky.
22. 01. 2026 16:49 CET 1 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The car feels easy to drive in these conditions. I feel good and it was feels quite nice. For sure the pace notes could be better.
22. 01. 2026 16:45 CET 1 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We had a cross tyre package in here and it was working okay. It was not optimal but it felt like an okay start. The rhythm was not where it needs to be but it was my first time driving. It is start and we are happy to be here.
22. 01. 2026 16:44 CET 1 retired (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): broken wheel in SS 1
22. 01. 2026 16:43 CET 1 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was good to get it underway. Man o man even though there is no snow or ice it is so slippery. There is zero grip or feel for the car.
22. 01. 2026 16:41 CET 1 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): I just decided to go quite safe on tyres. It is a long way to the Sunday.
22. 01. 2026 16:39 CET 1 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was really tricky. We didn't test so I didn't know so much about the winter tyre is behaving in such conditions. I can now see it. I think we are on the same one as Thiery and we are faster. It was tricky the car was not turning.
22. 01. 2026 16:36 CET 1 (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): stopped in stage
22. 01. 2026 16:36 CET 1 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): There are a lot of muddy corners. I tried to be careful on the studded tyres. It was not too bad.
22. 01. 2026 16:34 CET 1 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It's very tricky. There was many surprises and some pollution in places. It didn't feel great at all.
22. 01. 2026 16:33 CET 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I did my best with what I have got. I had a clean stage and I was struggling with the feeling braking with the tyres. Elfyn did a really good stage with the cross slicks.
22. 01. 2026 16:31 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure not the ideal tyre for this stage. I don't know, I was very careful. There were so many tarmac and grip stages. The next one is more important I don't care how much time I lose here.
22. 01. 2026 16:29 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was struggling a lot. Zero confidence. I cannot trust the grip. I just follow my feeling. We need to work to find more confidence. There is big work for the weekend. We need to see over the whole loop. It will be difficult to catch back that time.
22. 01. 2026 16:26 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I tried to go with a.good rhythm I was trying to be as smooth as possible and it was not easy with a cross tyre. It is only the beginning don't get too excited yet.
22. 01. 2026 16:23 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is difficult in these conditions to know the limit. I was on the safe side.
22. 01. 2026 16:17 CET 1 tyre choice: Ogier 4x studded + 2x supersoft, Pajari 4x studded + 2x winter, Neuville 4x studded + 2x winter, Munster 4x studded + 2x winter, Fourmaux 4x studded + 2x winter, Katsuta 4x studded + 2x winter, Paddon 4x studded + 2x winter, Evans 4x studded + 2x supersoft, McErlean 4x studded + 2x winter, Armstrong 4x studded + 2x supersoft, Solberg 4x studded + 2x winter

21. 01. 2026 21:43 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In our second run, we had a driveshaft issue at the beginning of the stage. While we were driving slowly, trying to just drive out of the stage, we had a suspension failure. Caused or not by the driveshaft, I don’t know yet. I need to speak to the team, they are analyzing. Maybe the driveshaft started to flap and it cut the wishbone, so we need to find out. Obviously the footage is very visible. We are driving slowly and suddenly the car pulls me into the ditch. So it came a bit of a surprise.
21. 01. 2026 16:15 CET SHAKEDOWN (44 - Cobbe Luciano / Bianchi Davide): another jump start
21. 01. 2026 15:47 CET SHAKEDOWN (44 - Cobbe Luciano / Bianchi Davide): jump start

21. 01. 2026 14:27 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): My nerves are not too bad but obviously it is tricky rally to start with. It is my first time here so there are a lot of new pace notes on recce and a lot of things to learn with the tyres and the car. It was a steady run and I'm still finding my rhythm but the time doesn't look terrible.
21. 01. 2026 14:26 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was just a small moment. I got to get a bit of a feeling. This is going to be a tough rally and we are in the deep end.
21. 01. 2026 14:24 CET SHAKEDOWN (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): stalled engine at the bridge
21. 01. 2026 14:24 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): There is one hell of a challenge ahead. This is nice proper tarmac road but let's see.
21. 01. 2026 14:23 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): There are some things we need to adjust already but I'm happy to be here and have some fun.
21. 01. 2026 14:18 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is incredible it is a dream come true. I'm so excited to start. I was a bit nervous to start but all good.
21. 01. 2026 14:16 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is nice to be back it has not been such a.long break but nice to be back. Some nice conditions on the shakedown. It will most likely be a tricky rally.
21. 01. 2026 14:15 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm very excited to be at the start of Monte Carlo and it is very special event for me, it is almost a home rally. I want to enjoy it and get a better result than last year. I am also trying studded tyres, not good for this conditions obviously.
21. 01. 2026 14:13 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): New season, fresh mind. I will try to deliver the results. This is a big year for me. I'm quite happy and feeling confident.
21. 01. 2026 14:11 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is not the best conditions for now. Nobody really knows what the weather is bringing. It is going to be very demanding. I just wanted to get a feeling on the studded tyres. It is just about getting the feeling.
21. 01. 2026 14:11 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Typical Monte ahead and nobody is really sure what to expect. It looks particularly challenging.
21. 01. 2026 14:10 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I'm happy to be here like always, it is special place. The sunshine today might be the last of the week. It will be a tricky rally ahead and let's see what the weather brings. At least the car looks amazing.
21. 01. 2026 14:01 CET SHAKEDOWN Weather in Gap is sunny, roads are dry, temperature around 6°C.
