After a challenging start to the Rally Monte Carlo, Dani Sordo put in an excellent performance on the second loop of stages to secure a good starting position on day two:

Special Stage 1: Superb start into the Rally Monte Carlo for Dani. On the 36+ kilometre opening special stage he is only a second behind Loeb who sets the best time. "I could have been quicker," says Dani. "For four kilometres I have been waiting for an icy spot. But it just was not there."

Second place overall scored by Dani Sordo and co-driver Carlos del Barrio on the Rally Monte Carlo means the MINI WRC Team has kicked off its 2012 campaign in style.
"The MINI WRC Team continued seamlessly into 2012 after scoring two promising podium places during its 2011 learning and preparation year by impressively announcing its presence in the 2012 World Rally Championship. Dani Sordo in the number 37 MINI John Cooper Works WRC emphatically proved the performance of the car in the classic Rally Monte Carlo with a fine second place, simultaneously underscoring the winning spirit which reigns within the entire MINI WRC Team."
