The first round of the 2013 World Rally Championship in Monte Carlo kicked off to a bad start as timing issues on the third special stage prevented teams and fans alike from knowing the results after day one.
Unreliable times with gaps of several minutes between leading cars were recorded on SS3, therefore making the overall standings an unknown.
Estimated times suggest that Sebastien Loeb leads the way ahead of second-placed Sebastien Ogier; the latter who gave Volkswagen Motorsport their first ever WRC stage victory during the first special stage this morning.
Thierry Neuville was forced to retire from fifth place after damaging his Fiesta WRC on Stage four.
The tracking system, now supplied by Sistemas Integrales de Telecomunicacion (SIT), caused issues on the first stage as well when it recorded a stoppage for Loeb.
