After the shakedown, Ogier, Neuville and the other drivers are ready to dive into the unknown of Monte Carlo 2025
This was already the case on Saturday, with mud and rain, during the short shakedown (3.28 km), held near Gap. Ott Tänak (Hyundai) emerged victorious from the exercise with a best time achieved on his first pass (2’09”8) ahead of two Toyotas, that of full-time “returner” Kalle Rovanperä (+ 0”7) , absent last year, and the still freelancer Sébastien Ogier (+ 0”8). For respectively their first with the number 1 and their new team, Thierry Neuville (+1”0) and Adrien Fourmaux (+2”3) took 5th and 6th places for Hyundai.
