🇮🇩 One week that the World Rally Championship 2024 distributed its first points. 🌍
Hybrid era enters its 3rd season in rallying and what a better master piece else than Rally Monte-Carlo to do it?!
"When everyone thinks of rallying, they think of Monte-Carlo!" --> I went on site in order to absorb again few decibels 🔊 and vibrations. I could hear a lot of Italians speaking in Bréziers night, overtake few UK cars on the motorway and around stages, see loads of Spanish and Portugese campers, testify French kids magic in the eyes, walk and pass kilometers of car parked coming to assist to the event.🚶🏻
Almost each one has a road car and coming to see some "similar" products pushed and pushing at the extrems is exciting. 🚀
🛠️ On a technical side, there is still the aim "to work for the future" while WRC offers a worldwide mediatic coverage for few automotive manufacturers, their suppliers and their partners.
Coming in the Alps in winter time ❄️ to defeat its roads with specific conditions is a good occasion to figure well and show up.
Despite the lack of opponents and competition for few years, the tyre brand has maximum mediatic coverage in its field along a season. Sometimes it needs to absorb and deal with the finger pointed at them but at the end no one can do better and their rubber will still be mounted on the winning car at the end of the week-end. It is currently the same for the hybrid unit supplier. 🏆
🏁On a sporting side, battles were there in rally 1, rally 2 and few other categories. Balance of performance on cars doesn't appear in rallying within a same category but it needs to deal with road position order, weather change, points systems, external suppliers etc... Each crew, each team needs to make the best of the system their face.
More competition and competitors are welcomed. Before it happens, here is a look back at Rally1 overall standing at the season opener. No studded tyres this time but still tricky icy sections and muddy curves ☀️❄️⛰️.
