RS6: 1-2 for Tesla, Grimaldi ahead of Malga

Day 2 of this very lively 8th edition of E-Rallye Monte-Carlo ended on a high note, and RS6, between Ubraye and Entrevaux (23.4 km), did not disappoint the 62 competitors. It ended with a Tesla one-two, and even a French one-two, as Christian Grimaldi (who’s not from Monaco…) and Jean-Baptiste Loty (Tesla Model S) did slightly better than Didier Malga and Anne-Valérie Bonnel (Tesla Model 3) on this difficult but dry road.

As in the previous regularity stage, Olivier Campana and Nicolas Milanesio, in their BMW i4 flying the colours of Yacht Club de Monaco, shone: they finished tied 2^nd with the Malga-Bonnel tandem (winners in 2017) and they consolidated their 2^nd place overall behind the very regular Eneko Conde and Lukas Sergnese (Kia EV6 GT). The Spanish winners of the 2023 edition, who finished 6^th in this RS6, continue to race at the front, without making any major mistakes. On Thursday evening, however, they only had a lead of 30 points over Campana and Milanesio, with 8 RSs remaining on the menu until Saturday evening.

One Kia vs 5 VWs?

We’re not even halfway through this 2024 edition, and one scenario seems to be taking shape: the Spanish title holders’ Kia EV6 GT is more than ever a candidate to repeat success in the Principality, but the battalion of Belgian Volkswagens has not yet said its last word – far from it. There are five in the Top 10, after 6 out of 14 RSs.

As for the last two crews in contention for the world title, that of the overall winner of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, they are currently a little behind: Michal Zdarsky and Jakub Nabelek (Hyundai Kona) in 5^th place, Guido Guerrini and Artur Prusak (Kia E-Niro) in 8^th. So nothing’s decided yet…
