Why Monte Carlo success could spark another past master’s WRC revival

Some 39 years on from his Monte Carlo Rally debut, World Rally Championship legend Francois Delecour continues to pick up silverware. Proving that age is purely a number, the 60-year-old's desire to compete against the WRC’s latest young talents could be the start of a new chapter in the Frenchman’s storied career

They say that once the motorsport bug bites, it's very difficult to let go. Four-time World Rally Championship event winner Francois Delecour is a case in point – now 60, he picked up the WRC2 Masters Cup class win on the Monte Carlo Rally last month.

Delecour's passion for rallying has never dwindled. The 1994 Monte Carlo winner is as hooked on wheeling a car through its famous twisty mountain roads as he was when he made his event debut as a bright-eyed future prospect, driving a Talbot Samba in 1984.
