Upcoming Events
The regularity stages of this 8th E-Rallye Monte-Carlo have been dominated, on Friday, by two crews, one Spanish, one Monegasque. In RS10, which brought the 3rd day of racing to a close, the domination of Eneko Conde and Lukas Sergnese (Kia EV6 GT) continued: another 1st place, just ahead of the only rivals who still manage to keep up with the leaders: Olivier Campana and Nicolas Milanesio, two authentic sailors, in their BMW i4 entered by Yacht Club de Monaco.
Between La Penne and Col de Saint-Raphaël (12.9 km), the Spaniards further extended their lead at the top of the overall standings. And the 3rd place in this stage was taken, after a hard-fought battle, by Jérome Aymard and Christophe Marques. Two men in fine form this afternoon in their Renault Mégane e-Tech bearing the logos of the eborn public recharging network. One of the major partners of E-Rallye Monte-Carlo, since 2017, which owns 2,800 charging points in 11 departments of the South-East of France
In the chasing pack, the Belgians continued to liven up the fight, as three crews tied for 4th place on this last regularity stage of the day: the inevitable Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo (VW ID3), winners of Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique last February, as well as their compatriots Bernard Heine/Valérie Piette (VW ID7), from the Belgian VW Club, and Patrick van Remoortel/Bjorn Clauw (VW ID3), entered by the VW ID Drivers Club, another structure heavily involved in this E-Rallye Monte-Carlo.
A quatre spéciales de la fin, la situation est claire. La victoire ne devrait plus échapper, sauf incident majeur, au duo espagnol Conde-Sergnese, implacable depuis le départ mercredi, ou au tandem monégasque de « voileux », Campana-Milanesio. A condition de combler samedi, en l’espace de quatre spéciales, un retard de 180 points sur les leaders (760 à 940). Enfin, selon toute vraisemblance, quatre équipages belges, tous alignés par le Belgian VW Club, vont disputer la troisième marche du podium aux leaders tchèques de la Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, Michal Zdarsky et Jakub Nabelek (Hyundai Kona). Quant à la Coupe des Dames, elle va se jouer entre la Belge Nadia Delvaux (Peugeot e-208), 20e, et la Néerlandaise Beitske Visser (Polestar), 23e. Suspense total, tant mieux.
