IRC 2011:Rallye Monte-Carlo

After SS9: Second stage win for Sarrazin

More... Stephane Sarrazin has won his second stage of Rallye Monte-Carlo but it’s Peugeot France team-mate Bryan Bouffier who continues to lead the Intercontinental Rally Challenge season opener.


Bouffier’s lead over Francois Delecour now stands at 39.7s after the French veteran failed to sparkle on the test, which featured ice on the road in places.

Freddy Loix has closed up to Delecour in third 12.1s back with Guy Wilks fourth, 8.1s down despite an intercom glitch.

Crews are now heading to Monaco where they will prepare for tonight’s four-closing stages, which will be shown live on Eurosport.
