Pelamourgues Powers to WRC3 Glory

Arthur Pelamourgues announced his WRC3 arrival in style at Rallye Monte-Carlo, crushing the competition with a commanding victory by 5min 2.7sec.

Driving his Renault Clio Rally3, the French rookie was unstoppable. He was beaten on only one stage over four days and barely broke a sweat as he blitzed through the iconic Monte roads.

Behind him, Matteo Fontana surged into second on Saturday morning and never looked back. The Ford Fiesta Rally3 pilot pulled clear of Ghjuvanni Rossi to seal the runner-up spot by 1min 8.4sec, leaving Rossi to settle for third.

Defending WRC3 champion Diego Dominguez faced a steep learning curve on his Monte debut. The Paraguayan kept it clean to finish fourth and now turns his attention to Sweden, where he’ll kick off his FIA Junior WRC campaign.
