Loeb claimed his 6th ever Monte Carlo WRC win in Fashion and a relaxed manner today after 5 tiring days in Monte Carlo. The French Man who was fighting with Ford’s Latvala on day 1 took a bit of a conservative approach to finish the rally without any problems. On his way to his 6th success Loeb took the power stage win to add 3 points to his total and claim a commanding lead in the championship. Dani Sordo was able to keep his second place and to give MINI a boost start for the WRC campaign this season alongside French man Pierre Campana who finished 7th. Ford had only 1 car in the points with former WRC champion Solberg in 3rd and Hirvonen finished his first ever Citroen WRC outing 4th. 5 ht was yet the very impressive Novikov who start his season on a high and would be looking to capitalize in Sweden 2 weeks from now. Delecour finished 6th on his return while Tanak, Prokop and Araujo completed the top 10.
