from rally-live
Not content with pulling out an impressive eight second advantage over the 28.52 km first special stage over team-mate Daniel Sordo, the Frenchman extended the advantaged on the second � 17.88km stage � to a whopping 24s! After four months out of the cockpit and claims that he is not 100 percent fit, it was a most impressive Citroen C4 debut for Loeb and co-driver Daniel Elena.
Sordo, in the second C4, had a solid season in 2006 despite a big off in Finland and soon after in Cyprus. This year, he and co-driver Marc Martini are aiming high and on leg one, can be quite content to end Thursday in second position, albeit 24 seconds behind the dominant Loeb.
At 29.10 seconds down, Thursday evening will not be a happy one for the Ford Rally team and Marcus Gronholm. With no less than seven wins under his belt last year, the Finn is aiming for his third championship title.
However, it is pretty clear that Citroen and their new C4 have hit the ground running and the new 2007 Focus, not scheduled until the Finnish rally, have their work cut out if early indications are anything to go by.
Mikko Hirvonen ends the first day of the new championship in a solid fourth position overall in his Ford Focus, while the Subaru � one of many running the 2006 car � will be relatively content with Petter Solberg's fifth place overall as the squad get to grips with BFGoodrich tyres for the first time. Chris Atkinson rounds out the top six in the second Impreza.

Petter Forth Fastest on SS5
[QUOTE]Sordo and Loeb continue to battle Monte Carlo : SS 5 - 12.81 km
[19/01/07 - 11:55]
The St Martial stage saw the Citroen C4 extend its lead over the
rest of the field as this time Dani Sordo won the stage from
Sebastien Loeb. Sordo and co-driver Marc Marti won the stage with
a best time of eight minutes with Loeb and co-driver Daniel Elena
just over a second adrift.
With the two C4's so closely matched, Loeb's overall rally lead
remains largely unchanged at just under seven seconds. Marcus
Gronholm was his now customary third fastest in his Focus RS
WRC 06 with Petter Solberg fourth fastest in the Subaru Impreza.
Chris Atkinson was just 11th fastest on this stage but remains
fourth overall in the standings in his Subaru while Manfred Stohl
and Toni Gardemeister retain station in fifth and sixth positions
respectively. With Petter Solberg putting in a good stage time, he
moves ahead of the Skoda Fabia driven by Jan Kopecky and into eighth position overall behind Mikko Hirvonen.
The drivers now head to service area C in Valence before regrouping at St Pierreville, the scene of the first stage today,
for another demanding challenge starting at 15.17 CET.[/QUOTE]

"not doing well" at any particular venue is just not acceptable when you are competing against groups that have no problem with consistency. Subaru needs to find a path that gets them to the podium every time.

Well niether Solberg or Atkinson are tarmac specialists. Loeb is almost untouchable on tarmac, but he is falible on loose surface rallies.
Like I said, a solid finish with both cars running would be a very good achivement for SWRT.
Also realize that SWRT's switch to BFgoodrich is a factor in them making the proper tire choice. Petter has already said he made the wrong choice. Teams that have been running Goodrichs already have the advantage.

yeah! two stages in row without a C4 winning. Looks like Sordo is pushing Seb pretty hard, too. Can I root for the other Citroen? :D
Competition seems closer today and Chris & Mikko are pretty close o/a.
Too bad there's no snow/ice this year as now it's just another tarmac rally and even less chance that Seb will stuff it.

Is the Focus' exhaust running ridiculously hot, or have they put some kind of bright orange cover/baffle/something on it? Check the coverage of Day 1 to see what I mean.
EDIT: A closeup was seen during the remote service and there was nothing covering the ([b]huge[/b]) tailpipe. But in-stage, both at nighttime and in the day, the end of the exhaust had the color of a traffic cone.

Hmm, so this is where everyone hanging out. I watched the first day last night. Seems like Solberg wasn't the only one who chose the wrong tires. Hirvonen as well as Atkinson had trouble also. I agree Loeb must be a robot. Him and Sordo have the new C4 and are doing well right out of the box. I hope SWRT is more competitive this year.

[QUOTE=Jay911;16742551]Is the Focus' exhaust running ridiculously hot, or have they put some kind of bright orange cover/baffle/something on it? Check the coverage of Day 1 to see what I mean.
EDIT: A closeup was seen during the remote service and there was nothing covering the ([b]huge[/b]) tailpipe. But in-stage, both at nighttime and in the day, the end of the exhaust had the color of a traffic cone.[/QUOTE]
The catalytic converter is at the end of the tailpiipe, and it turns orange as it heats up.

Man that was an awesome leg. Atkinson is really having a stellar outing. I can't wait for the superspecial. Does anyone know what the loud whistling is in the cockpit? I've never figured it out:lol:. I know the gearbox is whining, but what else is there?

It's typically the gearbox you hear on the in-car feeds. Depending on where it's mounted you may be hearing the turbo spool...

Not bad for Petter, at least things didn't blow up/break off/fall apart.
Outstanding for Chris - so close to a podium! Too bad robo-Loeb is here to annihilate everyone again. Plus, he seems to be rubbing off on Dani Sordo.

Considering his daddy bought his seat in the car, I doesnt bother me that he is using someone elses setup.
Congrats Loeb, good job Subaru for not breaking/wrecking. You only lost to a brand new untested car by 4 positions.

yup, i was just going to type the same thing. and on long transits ya can annoy yer driver by finding the sweet spot that makes the noise go away, then keep moving yer head in and out of that spot and play them a song, kinda like a wearable theremin. :banana:

I don't remember the C4 in a A8 class in a WRC even prior to today.
You can test all you want, but it doesnt mean a thing until you go up against the current competition IN a event.
They same mantra has been spoken by Ford and Subaru during winter tire testing. The Mexico '07 Impreza has been "tested" per se, but nobody knows how it will do against the current competitor cars.

All considering, these are great results. Considering Loeb has been first or second for the last year of competition (besides the bike crash/servo upgrade), ya knew he was going to be first or second. Personally I was rooting for Gronholm (a little), Solberg (a lot) and Gardemeister (a little), so these are pretty good results for the first race of the year.

I'm stoked as well, Atkinson blew everyone away with his performance. Solberg did well for no being good at tarmac rallies and with the new tires.
Overall great rally for SWRT, no podiums, but a solid finish from both team members. And the cars didn't fall apart!
I'm also stoked on Stohl for doing well with the new car, too bad Henning has some problems.
Can't wait for Norway and Sweden!

Has anyone noticed, every time they have in-car footage from the EVO's, there is a "whoosh snap" sounds every so often. I only hear it within those cars. Any ideas?
