Sebastien Ogier wins his record-breaking 10th Monte Carlo Rally, while Elfyn Evans emerges as a title contender and Adrien Fourmaux makes a strong debut for Hyundai.
The 2025 World Rally Championship season is officially underway after a thrilling season opener in Monte Carlo . While the weekend offered a glimpse into the unpredictable dynamics of the new 2025 regulations, one thing remained constant: the dominance of 'Monte Master' Sebastien Ogier . Ogier , despite admitting to being 'less prepared than ever' due to the regulations changes and limited testing, quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with.
His experience in the challenging Monte Carlo terrain proved invaluable, allowing him to navigate treacherous conditions and maintain a commanding lead. Even when facing close calls, including a wild slide on Friday and a near-disaster on Thursday night, Ogier remained unfazed. His victory on the Power Stage solidified his 10th Monte Carlo triumph, a record-breaking feat that cemented his legacy as one of the greatest rally drivers of all time. Adding another layer of intrigue to the story, Ogier hinted at this possibly being his last appearance at the iconic event.Meanwhile, teammate Elfyn Evans showcased his potential as a championship contender. Despite opening the road in Sweden next month, Evans' consistent performance throughout the rally, particularly his strong showing on Super Sunday, demonstrated his commitment to overcoming his previous weaknesses. The emergence of Adrien Fourmaux as a serious contender in the WRC cannot be ignored. Fourmaux, driving for Hyundai, impressed with his consistency and skill, finishing third on his debut for the team. His performance serves as a testament to the talent he possesses and the potential he has to become a force to be reckoned with in the championship.
