Transcripts
I love the fact that he said that
because it's so true isn't it you know
the day that Elvin Evans gets to any
kind of stage end and actually says he's
happy I think I might faint but that's
his character isn't it I love the way he
just admits that I think it's the
character of pretty much everybody who's
competing at this level isn't it you can
never be 100% happy because then you're
not improving so like I think I think
everybody kind of feels that way a
little bit um interestingly beex you
know we were walking around earlier and
chatting to the guys down that cast had
some had some fairly major updates
hasn't it it's been on a it's been on a
major diet they stiffen up the cross
member the rear cross member a little
bit so um it's it's it's it's a it's an
evolution of what we've seen last year
yeah and if you take a look around the
car you'll be able to to notice some
differences to the front and the rear
and uh weight saving has been one of the
main things the team has been working
on to come into the 20124 season they're
always working it's a constant Evolution
to try and make the cars as you know as
perform per pointed as possible yeah
it's listen the lighter you can be you
want to be you don't want to be carrying
any extra weight it's as simple as that
the lighter you are the faster you go
but it always comes as a cont compromise
doesn't it so if you're if you're
lighter then the compromise is
potentially uh reliability um and it
will remain to be seen um you know
whether or not the hyund and those
updates have been the right thing the
right way to go but for sure the lighter
you are the quicker you go and it's been
and it's as I understand it a
significant diet
[Music]
terer good to see you it's time to get
going again with a brand new season how
you feeling about everything yeah I'm
feeling good I mean uh looking forward
to another season it's good to be here
again um and yeah um it's going to be
exciting that's for sure so uh yeah I
hope we're going to have a good start of
the of the weekend and yeah in those
conditions uh it's going to be still a
tricky event so yeah let's do it and uh
try to make a good show and have fun and
bring home a good reason he's absolutely
right it is still going to be a
challenging event regardless of the fact
there's not the snow and ice that they
they had hoped there would be now maybe
one of the most you know widely talked
about changes is the change back for o
tanak and Martin yoya into hyai huge
season ahead look for all the drivers
but interesting to see what they can do
now back in this team and it is its
150th WC start here yeah the stats
between tanak and tier n Villa are are
remarkably similar aren't they you know
n 19 wins each uh both have got 21 power
stage wins each and uh as you said 150
150th WRC start for tanic 156th this
weekend for for tier Newville so top
trumps wise there's not a lot to choose
between them there is going to be
fireworks between these two Lads during
the year and uh Ser AB beable he's a
lucky man to have both tiar Newville and
o tanak on the books you know there's no
question these are two Top Class drivers
a former world champion and of course
tiry nville I think he's finished second
five times um and they'll both be going
going at it hard this year so trying to
manage and temper those two very
different personalities is going to be
interesting as the year plays
[Music]
[Applause]
out
all it's good to see you that's bigest
through Shakedown so far tomorrow you
start your 150th wlc event with it and
you're back with high end ey how does
that
feel yeah it's uh yeah the numbers are
numbers but uh yeah still quite exciting
and bit nervous as well you know to
start the new year new car again so uh
always a bit of challenge you know even
I've been here before still a bit
unknown but we'll try to
maximize yeah I'm sure will try to
maximize it it it is it doesn't matter
how many times you've done this event
because you never can predict what the
conditions are going to be out there I
mean we may be saying now you know
there's not a lot of snow and ice but
the temperatures will drop tomorrow
night will we head up into the hills
into the mountain sides Thursday night
stages in darkness you just don't know
what it's going to be like can we call
him the master of Monty Sebastian oier
WC wins here one in IRC as well to make
a total of nine so going for 10 overall
rally Monte Carlo victories this weekend
and he said before you know he doesn't
do things for the numbers he loves this
event this is the one he always wants to
do every year I'm not sure you know a
season would be right for Seb if he
hasn't started it in Monty it would be a
bit strange us sat here and not commenta
on Sebastian o in Monta Caro wouldn't it
as you said he is the master of Monte
massive support for him here as well we
were down at Toyota earlier were fans
were just swarming all over the place to
try and get a picture with him or an
autograph or something look it's it's
brilliant to have him here and you say
he doesn't do things for the numbers but
I can guarantee to you he's here to win
this rally this weekend and and if you
had to place a bet that's where I'd be
going absolutely I think a lot of people
would agree with you there we'd love
your thoughts though on who you're
putting on the top step of the Monty
Carlo podium in 2024 big hello to
everyone K is watching wherever you are
around the world right now I hope you're
going to be joining us for Magical Monty
throughout the weekend let's
see it's good to see you it's the third
season with these cars now how close do
you expect the competition to be this
weekend as you're hunting your 10th
Monty win yeah there is unfortunately
not so many cars like you say from this
Rana eight cars is pretty poor means the
sport need to do something but uh yeah
we are here and uh we want try to enjoy
the week this car looks very good this
year yeah the the black is shoting well
I think to the yis so hopefully the
speed will follow as well the car looks
good there's a new engine as well coming
into uh this event lots to talk about on
the Toyota which we will throughout this
weekend well taker just got a little bit
hot there didn't get down through the
gearbox he was struggling to get the car
stopped uh yeah as you said beex new
engine completely new power unit in that
um in that Toyota um producing a little
bit more power torque levels are the
same but um but yeah completely new
engine um it remains to be seen how it
performs throughout the the the weekend
but let's we don't really see engine
failure so much in the WRC so I don't
think that's an enormous issue it's just
a an improvement on what was what was
previously
there takamoto cat still I'm sure Tenny
riding high on that confidence building
rally in Japan where he set stage win
after stage win and really gave us a
full on glimpse of what we could
potentially see from him this year he's
just getting better and better isn't he
beex and and as we saw in Japan you know
I actually felt for him because he
deserved way more than he than he left
Japan with I would love to see takamoto
Catu to get his first win and he is he's
just such a nice bloke he's a real nice
guy genuine down to earth fella and yeah
I'd love to see takamoto doing doing
well this year Andre Mickelson rejoins
Hundai also on a parttime program this
year Torin Erikson alongside and they
are of course our WRC 2 champions from
2023
before we talk about though let's hear
from Tak T it's good to see you a brand
new season what sort of a Monte Carlo do
we have in store this year yeah of
course uh nice to be here as always and
uh it's going to be big TR in Monte car
so yeah for sure like we came back now
on the Gap area so stage is uh very
tricky and uh nice so we try to enjoy
and the push and uh we will be very
difficulties for sure but uh we will
manage it
the road's quite dirty in sections as
you can see right here where we're going
through some uh some mud and yet another
reminder on your screen of where you can
find us this weekend we've got 17 stages
of rally Monte Carlo to Delight you with
and it all kicks starts on Thursday
evening with two stages in the
darkness you seriously don't want to
miss it just coming back to the
pollution that you're seeing on the road
there that's going to be a fairly major
factor this weekend isn't it because the
cars are in if we don't have that snow
nice the cars are traveling that much
quicker and if they making big cuts all
that wet mud's going to get pulled out
across the road so the cars that are
running a little bit later will get
hindered by that by that mud that just
appears across the road in front of
[Music]
[Applause]
them for Nicholson this has been a long
time coming hasn't it back into rally W
Machinery he was delighted with the news
that he would be rejoining the
team it was the goal to get back behind
the wheel of a rally one car he's really
enjoyed himself in rally 2 he's proven
that by the wins and the championship
wins on the board but this is where his
heart lies right at the top of the sport
of course he's you know got WRC wins
under his belt already yeah I mean you
look at what Andreas melson did with
with volksvagen and everything else
there's no question he deserves a in a
rally one car um probably doesn't have
that it'll just take him a little bit of
time to um to settle in but um but great
to see him back no
question it's good to see you and it's
hard to not be very excited on your
behalf you're back at the top level how
does it
feel it feels sorry for the word [ __ ]
fast uh for sure something different
they will enjoy this weekend build step
by step but uh yeah one thing you do the
the the test stage up and down down the
whole Road you think you're comfortable
and then you arrive to a proper stage
and like everything is approaching
quickly so uh have to adjust but uh
we'll be
good nothing like a bit of colorful
language to Kickstart the season
apologies if you were offended I am sure
you weren't but that is how it feels
forre he Ain wrong it is fast
yeah but he's so right isn't you know
everything is just that much quicker
yeah it's going to take a little bit of
work bit of time for him to just get
back in into that zone but that will
happen quite quickly absolutely he'll
get into the rhythm of it and there as
you said in testing you go you go
testing eventually end up learning the
road and you don't have the
the the the competition around you kind
of spurring you on so it's not really
until you get into a rally and onto a
stage like you said where you really
start where you just unlock in your head
that extra bit of pace you're going
You're just chasing those extra tense so
um yeah for for Andreas he's an excited
man uh to be back with hyai and um yeah
I think it's it's great let's talk about
Adrian foro now because again for him
it's back behind the wheel at the top
level a driver who impressed last year
with with M sport fordward in the rally
2 Fiesta yeah and now he's got the break
to be back at the top it's a huge now
opportunity for him yeah he's he's kind
of leading the team isn't he and uh and
this is his teammate Greg monster but um
Adrian obviously with just that little
bit more experience he's he's kind of
leading the team I actually think
personally there's a bit more pressure
on on Adrian than there is on greguar
because he's coming in he is having a
learning year this man right so he's
here to get time in the seat to finish
rallies the last thing Adrien foro wants
to do is have Greg moner beating him so
Adrian needs to be aware of all that
stuff Adrian it's good to see you and
it's good to see you back at the top
level it's a great opportunity how
excited are you well I'm really excited
because we are in France it's Monte
Carlo new season for me for sure uh so
honestly I just want to to to go good
way to do well this year and uh we'll
see well for the run now it's not really
good we have something more on the car
so we need to go back to service okay
what's wrong already the diff I don't
know okay well they will come back to
service hearing Gap this Shakedown stage
is not too far away it's only about 5 km
outside of Gap itself itself they've
been using this road since
2016 so it's quite quick to get back
into service and the mechanics will have
a good look at that car yeah Adrian 11
seconds off the pace on that run through
there so clearly something something a
Miss in that in that puma and I'm sure
the uh the M sport boys and girls will
be on top of that and get it sorted in
no time okay Greg W monster then as you
said big learning curve this year but we
know we saw him in a rally one car last
year on two occasions and I thought he
did really well for himself you know he
really showed himself off to his best
Advantage it was a big it was a big step
up and he really did rise to the
challenge I think I think we need to to
talk about this a little bit more and it
is it is such an enormous Step Up and
the margins are so fine it really does
come down to experience and time in the
seat and and and and that's what he's
trying to trying to get and and as you
said I don't think in those couple of
appearances we saw last year he didn't
show himself up at all and he deserves
that seat um he's just got to keep his
head in the right place not overcook it
and and and keep the thing between the
between the hedges it'll be interesting
now yeah I know okay it's the the
opening round but to see the contrast
from now until we get to Japan at the
end of the season and see how much he's
developed
let's take our first look then at rally
2 WRC 2 is where we're at with Yan
Rosell was such an exciting Championship
to watch last
year let's hear from greguar first
though greguar it's good to see you and
it's uh time to do Monte Carlo in a
rally one car how you feeling about that
yeah it's incredible for sure not uh not
a good first one but uh we enjoy uh
tires a bit cold in the beginning uh
much more muddy than expected so uh just
took it
carefully yeah we can certainly see a
lot of pollution out on the road there
and as he said just taking it carefully
no heroics through there it's Shakedown
B yeah exactly it's Shakedown the the
the purpose of Shakedown is to get
through the stage make sure everything's
working make sure everything's right get
settled into the car we're not rallying
yet we're not we're not against the
clock yet it's Shakedown so you know he
just needs to as you said needs to play
it smart and listen he's going to have
more of that this weekend the the stage
getting dirtier and dirtier no question
about that so that's going to be a
common theme for him and I suspect we'll
be hearing him say a lot at the end of
the stages Nicolai gr is in then with
citrin this year you can see him poised
ready to go on Shakedown just a bit of
an update you've all been voting for who
you think is going to take the win on
the rally OJ is coming out on top at the
moment tanak is second favorite to win
Newville third favorite win at the
present moment let's see if that changes
over the course of the next 24 hours
before stage one
begins forol ging then a change of car
heading into this season something new
to adapt
to just looking at sections of the road
where there is dampness and certainly
we're going to see that you know
tomorrow night when we kick off with the
the night stages just depends how low
the temperatures get whether we do see a
little bit of black ice out there
tomorrow night or not Yan Rossell though
has completed let's have a chat with
[Music]
him Yan it's good to see you it's time
to start a new season you were the
winner in wlc 2 here last year so I
guess you have a lot to live up
to yeah the goal is the same but uh the
plan is to win on the road now yeah same
team it's like my family and I continue
with them uh during 10 year and now it's
time for win and how did the car feel
now in Shakedown well it's good it's
very
strippery yeah we will see tomorrow but
I think it's a really challenging this
week what he means by we need to win on
the road this time is that he was second
overall last year and it was Nikolai G
in who taken the win but then was handed
a penalty and dropped down so this is
back in the service area now here in gap
it's Elvin Evans having a chat with ruy
his engineer alongside the the black
Toyota Yaris it looks great in that it
looks so it looks so sharp and listen
Elvin will have just gone done that run
come back and uh they'll just be giving
that car a quick once over maybe making
some little changes here and there but
there won't be any any massive
significant changes at this at this
point we switch now then into the car of
Oliver Solberg and Elliot
Edmonson now they are not scoring points
within wrc2 here in
Mont it's going to be a he's kind of
teammates with with Gus greensmith who's
not actually here this weekend and like
tier nville and oan hyundi I think
Oliver and Gus are going to Spur each
other on they're going to have a
fantastic battle they're good mates they
get on well but I think the WC 2
championship and not just WC the junior
Championship is is going to be it's
going to be absolutely banging all
throughout the year so 19 entrance in
the junior WC that is just incredible
ncol G's just pulled in Let's cross out
and hear from
him Nikolai it's good to see you and I
guess you're quite happy to see that
you're faster than your teammate already
on the first pass of Shakedown some big
changes for you this year how does it
feel yeah the big changings uh and I
hope it's I feel it's in a good way way
changing so I feel really nice in the
car the stage already dirty compare with
the first passes of WC cars but uh stage
is nice uh the car is nice let's see I
mean uh for me this stage is quite not
typical for the race I think the race
will be more clean maybe some stages
like this but uh it's nice I just need
still to find the small tunes for the
car for my uh type of driving but I'm
still quite familiar with this and one
thing to mention seeing as he is talking
about you know the pollution on the road
the dirtiness you know the new regs for
this year for wrc2 allow them to have
rout note Crews yeah that's massive it's
one thing you know the drivers are
really calling out for last year
Michelson was very vocal on it and that
change has been implemented so they now
can have root note Cruise yeah it's
massive and on events like this it makes
it makes such a big difference B it
really does I think you know those guys
are now going into the stages with with
more information about what lies ahead
um it's safer and and we'll see the I'm
sure we'll see the times closer as a
result as well so I think it's a good
move we got a class act in the uh the
car route Note crew wise for Oliver and
Elliot Eric Camy and Denny jured don't
get much better than that as a bit of
experience there isn't it Den still
knocking about it's
brilliant what a legend Sammy py now and
Annie Malin
in and again this pairing not scoring
points this
weekend and this is the Toyota yis rally
2 which has been talked about a lot over
the past year what was
that you back time for a brand new
season how are things in there H I was
very muddy um so quite quite tricky but
yeah I'm trying to just trying to to
feel it a little bit yeah last year I
believe you got 10 stage wins at rally M
Cara what's the target for this weekend
I didn't win the rally last year did I
so the target is to win the rally that's
[Music]
easy target well not easy target but
easy objective he knows that's what he
wants to do I think it was just a rock
flying past the wind screen then we saw
for Sammy P that might have been picked
up or a bird high speed a rock or
something didn't it the other thing as
well was the sun starting to drop as the
car was as the as the guys were heading
down the hill there it's just they're
just blinded by the Sun so you can see
the visor have a look back at that
moment oh there it is it's just a rock B
licked Up Normally it comes in the other
direction I think that's the first time
I I've ever seen it going in front of
the car normally you see him coming up
towards it but it's just been caught and
flicked
up so fantastic to see this car now in
competition within wrc2 it's been a huge
amount of testing done over the past
year approximately 15,000 kilometers of
testing to get the yis ru up and running
and ready for competition mode within uh
the World Rally Championship yeah we've
had little sneak previews of about been
a lot of hype around this car in the in
the rally 2 championship and um yeah
it's great to see it out turning a wheel
in anger and um I think it's going to be
interesting to see how how it you know
it gets on this weekend and particularly
when we start to move to gravel as well
there's been an awful lot of gravel
testing I think it's you know there's no
question it's a strong package isn't it
yeah absolutely it is so 5.2 seconds off
the time of grien there for Sammy py
gin's fastest time
28.8 on Shakedown and the fastest time
within the Ry One cars was for tanak
with 2 minutes point4 of a second as we
switch to Nicholas Sean now and yanic
Ro fantastic performance from them in
the central European rally last
year Sam it's good to see you it's all
very exciting a brand new season it's
great to see you in this car as well
tell us a bit about the targets for the
weekend yeah for sure it's a new
challenge uh I think for me and oh I
mean for us and for the team exciting
but also I think many people are
following how the how the new car is
doing so let's see I hope we can do fine
but um let's see it it will be a really
tricky rally anyway what's it like to
drive yeah it's a good really good just
quite tricky in there now on the
Shakedown quite muddy so so I took it
really carefully but it's
fine yeah I think he's right you know
there are a lot going to be a lot of
eyes on that car this week again to to
see how it's going to do and we've also
got in the Aris Brion bouier who is a
former winner of rally Monte Carlo back
in the IRC days and he was second
overall within WRC here as well and
pushing for the lead that year stepan Le
also inis so interesting drivers and car
combinations it's big big names the WRC
2 Championship isn't it I mean lots lots
of those guys have been have been in you
know the WRC have been in WRC cars in
the past and plenty of experience with
WRC cards in the past so it really is a
it really is a fantastic field of
drivers in in the WRC 2 um in the rally
2 category this year
[Music]
y so for Nicholas C tomak is where his
heart absolutely lies we've seen some
Stellar performances it was great to see
him back as part of the championship on
a more regular basis last year let's see
what he can do at rally Monte Carlo that
time is on the board trim 5.4 seconds of
drift of G in the weather will play into
his hands as weekend if we don't if we
see a little bit less snow and ice you
know his previous Tac experience I think
we'll we'll will'll start to play into
his into into his favor a little
bit n it's good to see you it's been a a
few years since you've done rally Monte
Carlo what's it like to be back here
yeah I'm very happy because it's kind of
my home rally so yeah happy to be back
after 3 years and yeah should be more
dry than usual but I hope we'll
enjoy you can almost guarantee it chenny
that next week it'll just hammer it down
with snow you just know don't you back
in the uh the service Park here in gap
now then I love these shots you know
when o is talking to the engineers and
you know it's the hand movements and the
gestures and you're trying to read into
the body language to see how he's
feeling it's great shots yeah you can
see so it's a slightly different bumper
rear bumper on the back of that that
high unai compared to last year's car
and the front as well it's not carrying
that that overhang lip that was on the
on the front of the bumper the Yaris is
pretty much the same car with the ex
externally uh suspension wise as well
it's just that the the engine is
completely new engine isn't it so um so
that was that was obviously a joker for
for Toyota as
well Chris Ingram now and Hannah
mckillop which is fantastic to see Chris
here at the start line of rally Monte
car well the Shakedown start line at
least um you know it's a huge amount of
effort and work gone into getting the
the sponsorship to be able to compete
this year sitting alongside him is
Hannah who has you know a good amount of
co- Driving Experience under her belt
but not at this level this is her first
ever WRC event what a baptism of fire to
come to Rally Monte Carlo call the notes
it's a whole different ball game isn't
it Chris just looks like he's just
trying to generate some heat in the
tires or something like that he's just
weaving left to right and he's on and
off the brakes and you basically you're
just using the the brake disc as an oven
to draw heat into the tires we saw him
do is he was coming immediately off the
um off the start line just to try to
generate some hea in there it's a tricky
little stage this p and the last thing
you want to do is is get caught out
damage the car you know on a Shakedown
stage we have seen it happen in the past
so really for these guys as I said it's
just a matter of getting through the
stage clean neat and tidy not damaging
the car not giving the mechanics the
engineers any extra work to have have to
do going into the start of the rally and
um it's just about just getting a feel
for for where you are making sure that
everything's okay we go rallying
properly tomorrow all that said though
some of the drivers have had their best
ever results after a bit of a whoopsy
shake down
T pet Solberg in
Corsa yeah it's it's quite incredible
those uh those kind of stories anyway
see the amount of pollution that's
getting pulled out huge Now isn't it and
you know was it Nikolai gzen said some
stages might be like this but the
majority are are quite clean there's not
so much opportunity for cutting but this
is looking you know Farm like that's
where that's where people are are
potentially going to get caught out I
think as the as the rally progresses
um it's it's going to be a very
different rally monola but I don't think
it's a bad thing yeah Chris just taken a
little bit easy very early on the breaks
there he's just beding himself in and
you know he's no slouch Chris Ingram is
a is a real talent behind the will rally
I think we all going to be Keen to see
what happens within WRC 2 again it's a
really good entry you know you've got
some strong names there as we take a
little look at the uh the mountain Sid
this water right alongside the service
Park here in gap it is incredibly
picturesque out
there right that was a little bit odd it
looked like it was in a straight line
yeah no that I think that's all
deliberate he's it could be that he's
beding in brakes or he's something like
that he's all deliberate I don't
necessarily think it's a massive it's a
it's a
problem I might be wrong but it it
doesn't look to me like
that's well let's find out we'll be
heading over to uh the stop control in a
couple of moments but at least I really
hope there's not an issue there for him
in the first St I think it's more just
hopefully Molly can can get a bit more
information out of
him so a time for him at
2337
then it's an odd time to do it at the
end of this at the end of the stage
though he looked like he was trying a
bit harder towards the start didn't he
so let's see if there is any kind of
issue let's see what the explanation
is Chris it's great to see you back in
the World Rally Championship we just
have to ask first of all were there any
issues in there I've got completely
brand new breaks so I need to get them
ready get them ready for the first stage
but yeah I'm so happy to be here great
to be back in WRC and mon Carlo my
favorite rally best rally in the world
in my opinion thanks
you can you can almost hear the absolute
Delight in his you called it it is just
beding in the brakes yeah um ahead of uh
competition so yeah and that's that's
what Shakedown is is is about isn't it
it's just about coming in getting the
car sorted and where you need it to be
so yeah just better in a new set of uh
pads and discs ahead of ahead of
tomorrow but he looked so happy it was
genuine you know it was genuine so happy
to be here and I really hope they have a
great weekend we got to keep an eye on
this man as well Stephan lefair he's got
so much experience hasn't he beex and um
again in that Toyota yis rally two car I
think he's going to be running right at
the business end this weekend I I think
he is you know we've seen superb results
for him on Tac events over the years and
he plays it so cooly as well he's got
everything under control
lefair Andy maroy back alongside
[Music]
him and it's 6.6 seconds off the fastest
time which is still Nikolai G in on run

the
season stefane it's good to see you and
it's great to have you back in the wlc

best as we
can huge anticipation then ahead of the

there just uh going over the notes
confidence I'm sure you know for every
driver heading in to the first round no
one ever says that they're supremely
confident you never know what Monte
Carlo is going to throw at you
weatherwise condition wise the stages
are challenging whether or not they're
covered with ice and snow whether
they're completely bone dry they offer
up the ultimate tarmac challenge
performances will be so so close out
there so this is how it looks then after
run one of Shakedown tanak was the
fastest through on that run Elvin Evans
was just a tenth of a second behind then
it was Newville OJ katsuta Michelson and
monster Nikolai gr is in so far at least
the fastest through within WRC 2 then
rossel and sobber to complete that top
10 and then we've got Adrien foro who
did have a bit of an issue he was making
