No, I haven't driven a car with a huge 53 on it. I spent most of last week snapping cars at the Monte-Carlo Rally. The event is actually based in Gap, 300 km north of the principality, and only moves to the mountains surrounding Monaco for the final day. We didn't even go there so still haven't visited that track, unlike last year in Spain when I got to walk around parts of Montjuïc.
The winner was the usual one...
Despite my countrymen's Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul's best efforts to end Sébastien Ogier's winning streak:
Estonian Ott Tänak finished third:
Just off the podium, sandwiched between the works Toyotas, 9-times World Champions Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena:
Fifth, Jari-Matti Latvala:
And in sixth, Kris Meeke:
The Ford team failed to deliver.
This isn't your usual Hertz hire car.

Some great shot there. It was a close finish. Where's the snow. The Monte has been on my list for ages but every year it gets less and less likely that I'll go.

Thanks!
There was snow, just not where I was and I couldn't be bothered walking to it.
This was my third visit, the other ones were 2011 and 2015. Puts me on equal terms with Bos Senior.

They have the choice between these types: Soft Super Soft Snow (non-studded) Snow (studded)
There's no wet tyre. Soft tyres are for both wet and dry conditions.

Not true!
Ford didn't fail to deliver, they just "went further"... into the ditch(WRC+M-Sport Videos)
Nice shots!

My fave is the one of the #24 with the setting sun in the background. Even though it doesn't look particularly monteesque...
