From IRC Press release
Reigning Junior World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier (Peugeot 207) has won the 77th Monte Carlo Rally for the BFGoodrich Drivers' Team.
It's the first time that the programme - which chooses a different local driver from the five rounds of the IRC on which it operates - has resulted in a rally winner...
Despite having no experience of Super 2000 machinery prior to a short test before his very first Monte Carlo Rally, Ogier took the lead at the end of the second day following a puncture for former rally leader Juho Hanninen.
The Frenchman won ahead of Freddy Loix and Stéphane Sarrazin for a 100 % Peugeot podium. Jan Kopecky (Skoda Fabia) finished fourth.
