Season opening first round of 2012 of World Rally Championship is scheduled to run this week, with a returning of 5 days format for the first time in decades. The rally also marks its return to the WRC calendar after quite some years, last WRC round was held in 2008. In 2009, 2010 and 2011 it was absent from WRC calendar, but was active in IRC round. Sebastien Loeb was the winner then.
Monte Carlo rally by itself is a challenge of its own kind, i.e., snow/ice on asphalt roads during winter in sub-zero temperatures. Twice last at WRC was dominated by Sebastien Loeb, with a total of 5 wins in his career and twice as runner-up. He will be the one to beat with his current form since he ever entered the rally stages.
