Me neither! It actually reminds me of some of the mid-2000 Focus WRC liveries more than anything.
Ditto. All the generations appeal for different reasons, but I have favourite cars in all eras of the WRC. VW are the winners for me, I think that new livery looks superb from the front. I rather like the new Kubica livery as well... ...I wonder if it will look as good parked in the scenery? |

The VW livery is good isn't it? A big improvement. The Citroen still looks horrible - the gold looks awful (the Citroen WTCC car livery is crap too though so not a surprise).

...has been the only recent DS3 WRC that has really caught my eye. The Total/Red Bull livery is, in my opinion, by far the best look the DS3 WRC ever had: they need a bit more colour on the Citroen's again! |

The Abu Dhabi Citroën liveries have been awful.
Citroën should have red as the main colour, not as flashes. |

Wow, love the new VW livery! To be honest the VW is the only car in WRC I really like and it looks more awesome than ever this year! Glad Latvala is driving it

De Polo looks great. More agressive than last years.
Citroen en Kubica Fiesta boring. |

If the Polo goes as quick as good as it looks, the others had to hope for a miracle. It's hard to look beyond a VW cakewalk - not what the sport needs.
The talking will stop tomorrow night; and the start of the WRC & Rallye Monte-Carlo. |

Well we're off and running - SS1 and Loeb blows everyone into the weeds - 22 seconds quicker than anyone else!

So this is the first rally where the drivers won't be able to see live timing splits etc?
edit: But I see Ogier clawed back 18 seconds on the second stage. Last edited by mikuni; 22 Jan 2015 at 22:13. |

Only stages 1,13 and 15 are Live. A bit different to the IRC Montes when all but 1 stage were live.
It looks like the running order could decide the event: Ogier is 1st, and Loeb is 14th...that's a huge difference in conditions between them. |

Michelins twitter feed is giving the details of which tyres the drivers have taken for the next loop of stages - interesting stuff, there doesn't seem to be a common approach, everyone is taking a mixture 6 tyres from - studded, snow and super softs. Could have a big impact on times, Loeb has 4 snow and 2 super softs, Ogier 4 studded and 2 super softs - that could make a huge difference.

Loebs in trouble on ss8 - looks like he's torn a wheel off, could well be game over.
That leaves Ogier clear on his own at the front but it's a pretty good scrap after the VW's. |

Damn, Meeke and Loeb both damaged suspension just when they were looking like they were getting amongst the VW's. Real shame that, if they could have kept that pace up it could have been a real scrap and really given VW something to think about.

Yeah. The first few stages were cracking with the VW, Citroen and Ford mix in the top six, shame that couldn't go on a bit longer.
Unlucky start for Kubica, especially as he put in a couple of blinding stage times today... but then the inevitable breakage. If he could just dial it back a shade he would surely be a front runner. |

From what I can gather the electrical gremlin at the start wasn't his fault (and perhaps it was because of that he was driving at 150% yesterday) but the subsequent crash could have been avoided. Not a good start for Meeke either. Was hoping he could start the year with a sensible drive and a decent finish, but it seems he got caught out. At least his pace was better than Ostberg before his prang. |
