Day three was always going to be an incredibly easy day, and it proved to be so.

After meeting at the collection point, the rally split in to two groups – one group took a tortuous route through some stunning French scenery, passing through the Gorge du Verdon, while the other half took a leisurely drive down to Monte-Carlo to hang out with the rich and famous.

Most teams parked outside and got the train in to Monte-Carlo, but we’re braver than that. Parking may be a nightmare in the tiny principality, but we’re in a bright orange Lexus, so how can we fail to find a spot.

And, after driving round the Grand Prix circuit, find a spot we did. Outside the famous casino. Alongside the Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Bentley’s and so on. The General Lee(xus) fitted right in.

After a meal and a mooch, it was off the the seaside town of Menton for the night, ready for a big day tomorrow…
