Monte Carlo 2007
SEBASTIEN LOEB PICKS UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF BEFORE HIS MOUNTAIN-BIKE ACCIDENT LAST YEAR AND DROVE A FLAWLESS CHAMPION'S DRIVE IN THE ALL-NEW CITROEN C4, WHICH HAS REPLACED THE LEGENDARY XSARA. IF THE C4'S RELIABILITY PROVES TO BE AS GOOD AS THE XSARA'S THEN ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE OTHER TEAM'S WILL ALWAYS BE PLAYING 'CATCH-UP' AGAIN THIS SEASON! HE WAS FOLLOWED HOME BY HIS TEAM-MATE, DANIEL SORDO, WITH MARCUS GRONHOLM 3RD. NO NEW CAR FOR PETTER SOLBERG UNTIL ROUND 4, MEXICO, IN MARCH BUT AT LEAST SUBARU ARE NOW ON THE SAME TYRES, BF GOODRICH, AS THEIR COMPETITORS. TWO INNOVATIONS IN THIS YEAR'S MONTE WERE SOME NIGHT-TIME STAGES AND THE FINAL SUPER SPECIAL STAGE ON SUNDAY, WHICH RACED ON PART OF THE FORMULA 1 CIRCUIT ON MONACO'S STREETS.
