Rallye-WM 2022: Strong Start with Electric Power for Ford Puma Hybrid
Electrified female power and an old hand who is still capable of winning: all this was showcased in the first round of the new 2022 Rally World Championship in Monte Carlo. Additionally, Ford has reason to celebrate: the newly developed Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 clinched victory in its debut outing.
Sébastien Loeb and his new co-driver Isabelle Galmiche won the legendary Rally Monte Carlo with the car, thereby initiating the 2022 Rally World Championship. Toyota driver Sébastien Ogier came in second with the GR Yaris Rally1, ahead of another Ford Puma driven by Irishman Craig Breen and his co-driver Paul Nagle. This came after an exciting battle at the front of the field between the two brands.
Ogier had temporarily held over a 24-second lead but then damaged a front tire, allowing Loeb to take the lead. Along with his new co-driver Benjamin Veillas, Ogier finished just 10.5 seconds behind the winner, despite a ten-second penalty for a false start. This sets Ford as the leader in the manufacturer standings for the new season. For nine-time Rally World Champion Sébastien Loeb, it was his eighth victory at the Rally Monte Carlo, tying him with Sébastien Ogier.
Hyundai was not able to place among the top five with the i20 N WRC Rally1: Thierry Neuville was the team's only finisher, securing sixth overall on the last day and achieving just one fastest time as the only Hyundai driver. Nevertheless, he added three points from the Power Stage. Oliver Solberg was withdrawn from the rally after the opening stage on Sunday, feeling unwell after exhaust problems had hindered his rally. At times, he competed without a front... Ott Tänak retired on Saturday.
Whether and how much more economical the new powertrains are remains to be seen. Despite this, the season promises to be exciting under the new regulations.
What does this mean?
The new regulations have reshuffled the deck: Ford made a powerful comeback and there was an intra-French duel "Sébastien (Loeb) against Sébastien (Ogier)", which this time Loeb was able to win. Toyota was in the running for victory until Ogier's tire drama, while Hyundai still had to pay its dues.
