Solberg continued to lead the Monte Carlo Rally, Toyota’s festival.
On the second day of the Monte Carlo Rally, the opening round of the World Rally Championship (WRC), which will be held from Thursday to Sunday, Swedish driver Oliver Solberg (Toyota) further widened his lead.
This Friday’s itinerary includes three different specials, each running twice. The Swede, son of 2003 world champion Petter Solberg, who had already finished first on Thursday, shined again on the snow and ice in the first stage of the day, setting the best time (13 minutes 48.5 seconds).
Of the nine special stages held so far, Solberg has won four, with a cumulative time of 2 hours 11 minutes 13.1 seconds. Due to a puncture he was only fifth, 27 seconds slower than Toyota teammate Elfyn Evans. “It’s been a great day because my advantage has increased. I’m happy and just want to welcome a new day,” the Swede concluded in a statement to the organization.
Even so, Evans continued to take 2nd place from the second day. The Briton never finished lower than fourth in any section and ended the day with a time of 2:12:21.5, 1:08.4 behind Solberg. “It was a good day, a little up and down, but good,” Evans said of his performance.
The joy for Toyota continued with the performance of Sébastien Ogier. The previous world title saw the Japanese team close to the full podium with a time of 2 hours 12 minutes 28.0 seconds, very close to that of the British athletes who had improved by nearly 18 seconds compared to Thursday’s time. The Frenchman particularly shined in the eighth section, navigating the muddy area better than his rivals (18:05.1).
Ford had to regret Irishman Josh McErlean’s withdrawal on stage nine, when his car went off the road in a snowbank shortly after the route began.
The Monte Carlo Rally will see drivers covering a total of over 339 kilometers across 17 stages. There are four stages remaining, including a super special through the streets of Monaco, on Saturday 24th January, and a further four stages on Sunday 25th.

VIDEO. Ferrari was the first to show how the new F1 car mode works
Lewis Hamilton became the first Formula 1 driver to demonstrate the new active aerodynamics that will be used from the 2026 season.
On Friday, Hamilton took to the track at Fiorano, where Ferrari held the first races of its new generation car, immediately after the official presentation. The seven-time world champion completed his laps before handing over his car to Charles Leclerc, and active aerodynamics were recorded for the first time in these races.
For the first time, cameras recorded the operation of the moving elements of the front wing, which could not be seen in the first test drives of Audi, Cadillac, Racing Bulls, Mercedes and Alpin – at that time no images of the operation of the new moving wings were published.
The rear wing operates on a similar principle to conventional DRS; only the space between the elements widens. At the same time, the elements on the front wing that create downforce when activated move downwards, significantly changing the aerodynamic balance of the car.
I believe this is the first time we have seen active aero with these regulations, as Lewis Hamilton’s rear wing opened in the SF-26 as he came down the straight. pic.twitter.com/9qJzN9Fkz8

Ferrari will miss first day of Formula 1 2026 pre-season testing
Ferrari team boss Fred Vasser has announced when the team will make its debut on the track in the Formula 1 pre-season test to be held in Barcelona next week.

During the five days in Barcelona, each team will be able to use its car for a maximum of three days. Combined with the two tests in Bahrain, this makes for a total track time of nine days.
McLaren had announced that he would miss the first days of testing and potentially only race on Wednesday. The Ferrari SF-26 will make its track debut on Tuesday, February 27, after which the team will make other plans for the rest of the week.
“This is a very emotional day for us. The launch of a new project is always an important event. This is especially true this year because of the completely new rules for 2026. We have come a long way so far and I think it has gone quite well.”
“This is a good start, so let’s be positive and enjoy the process. Now we need to focus on Barcelona. We will start testing on Tuesday and then, taking into account the rules, we will determine when to go on track on Thursday.”
“A lot of work has been done, especially at the power plant, in recent weeks, months and possibly years. We are pleased with today’s preparations. This is not the end of the story, but the beginning of the season.”
