Rallye Monte Carlo 2011 l Jour 3

If the Rallye Monte Carlo this year celebrates its centenary, it is through, inter alia, its often exciting scenarios like the one that competitors have experienced yesterday in the second loop of step 2.

For Eric Mauffrey and Gaëtan Houssin this stage in the Vercors and the right choice of tires, made through the work of the openers and the entire team, led to a rise up the diabolical classification in two-wheel drive (12 seats won in 6 minutes and four stages).

With a special long 30 km to contest this morning, competitors will leave Valencia and the Drôme to reach the port of Monaco before to attack this evening two loops of two ES which constitute the "Night of Turini".

ED 9 Montauban on Ouveze - Eygalayes
Second time for Eric and Gaetan, three seconds behind Pierre Campana and two tenths ahead Crugnola. Overall, our crew takes 6th place in less than two seconds of the fifth and 3'04 behind the leader.

Gaëtan: " Everything went well in this special morning. We opted for very soft tires, our openers have reported good ice sheets and we have made no mistake. In short, a good ES with a good time to key in a few seconds of Peter and Sabrina and before the DS3. Then the road to Monaco was long enough but we have the afternoon to rest before Turini. "

SS10 Reel - The Bollene-Vesubie
Second provisional time for Eric and Gaëtan dating still a place overall (5th). Conditions remain dry and the weather does not advertise humidity.

Lantosque ES11 - Luceram
Our sign crew again and again a second time a block 23s Adrien Tambay, the fourth overall.

Overall Ranking: 1. Burri 2. Campana 9 "8 3.Poutot 42" 8 33 "4. Tambay +1'41 + 58 "2 5. Eric / Gaëtan + 1'48 "2 +7" 2 ...

Gaëtan: " We drove well in the first loop. Eric is still the car a little too soft for the ES-Lantosque Lucéram so we'll work it out to the audience. The road is super dry and there are only a few patches of ice So do not worry that level ... it runs strong. For the last loop, it will be difficult to get a podium but we will still run on the same pace to try our luck. "

SS12 Reel - The Bollene-Vesubie
Crugnola II provisional time behind Eric and Gaëtan grabbed the 4th place overall.

Lantosque ES13 - Luceram
Third time behind Eric and Gaëtan Crugnola and Campana but it will not enough for the podium. Poutot still ahead of the 12 ". After losing 9'30 Wednesday that fourth place was unexpected but they did. Bravo!
Overall Ranking: 1. Campana 2. Burri +1'05 "3 3.Poutot +1" '38 "9 33" 6 4. Eric / Gaëtan +1'51 "5 +12" 6 5. Tambay + 2'07 "15" 5 ...

Gaëtan (on the road towards Monaco): " And here we are at the end of this Monte Carlo! We fail to a handful of seconds off the podium and obviously we're a bit disappointed tonight but we relativize when we look at the progress made since the ES1 Wednesday when we lost at the outset more than 9 minutes. What lift! And then we end up with 5 best performer best times against 4 and 3 for Pierre Campana Andrea Crugnola. Moreover, we say that if we had not had this problem, we would certainly be left without nails and we could have lost the race yesterday in the snow. Nobody will know and the scenario is like this so I think we can be happy with this result and already looking towards the rest of the season ... Thanks to all for your support and see you soon! "
