IRC Rally Monte-Carlo preview : The expectations

Chris Atkinson (Australia), PROTON Satria Neo S2000: “Starting the season with the Monte is awesome. I’ve always gone well on the event, but it is really tough. You never know what’s coming around the next corner: it could be dry asphalt, wet asphalt, snow or ice.”

Bryan Bouffier (France), Peugeot 207 S2000: “This will be my second experience of Rallye Monte-Carlo. Like always I am confident in myself but this event is never easy with the weather changing all the time and the tyre choices always difficult to make.”

Juho Hanninen (Finland), Skoda Fabia S2000: “Of course I want to win but it depends so much on the conditions and how fast the French drivers will be. If we have dry Tarmac then I think it will be very difficult for me to win. If there is snow and ice then I will be much more confident.”
