Ogier leads WRC Monte Carlo Rallye 2023 after first full day of special stages

Hi, friends!

We spectated Monte today at two different locations and I learned more things again. One of them is that the difference in times between drivers are mostly when driven in 5th gear.

Yeah it is needed to have a big balls to go flat out in the blind corners and it is something that comes with the miles in the car and on the special stages.

I also saw today that eight-time World Rally champion Seb Ogier (Toyota) is that with the reason because he is just super quick, no doubt about it.

All the other guys tried hard but you can see that it is still a first rally and guys want to stay on the road, finish the rally and collect some points.

Kalle Rovanpera (Toyota) and Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) are in big fight with less then 2s between them. Estonian Ott Tanak (M-Sport Ford) becomes distant 4th with 54.2s behind a leader Seb Ogier.

Tomorrow will be a toughest day and that's why it is called a World Rally Championship because it tests the drivers to the maximum.

Let the best win - as always...
