Famous and feared for its changing conditions, sometimes combined in a single special stage, the Monte-Carlo Rally has witnessed Alpine forge much of its legend. Two years after its triumphant return to the event, the brand relied on five crews to defend its colours for the half-century anniversary of the Berlinettes' historic treble in the opening round of the World Rally Championship in 1973.
Following the start ceremony at Monaco’s Casino Square, the competitors took on the legendary Col de Turini on Thursday. In an exceptional atmosphere despite sub-zero temperatures, Loïc Panagiotis took the initiative in both the R-GT and 2WD categories and finished an evening cut short by the cancellation of SS2 with a 32.3s lead over Grégory Fontalba.
On roads near the Mercantour National Park, Loïc Panagiotis proved unstoppable and continued his momentum by winning Friday's six stages. 2022 Alpine Elf Rally Trophy winner Grégory Fontalba, on the other hand, was caught out by a puncture that led to an off on SS4. Loïc Panagiotis then inherited a healthy advantage, while David Ferraro and Eric Royère were within 3.4 seconds of each other after swapping positions three times.
On Saturday, the second full day of action without midday service saw Loïc Panagiotis extend his domination in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, whereas Richard Frau rolled. Back in action after his exit the day before, Grégory Fontalba took away any hope of a grand slam from Loïc Panagiotis, with the best time on Le Fugeret - Thorame-Haute before the leader resumed his series of stage wins.
