I just lost 40 secs of time I will never get back.

Jeez I've been away for too long. What I meant by that was that having high expectations wasn't justified. However, if and indeed he was able to keep up with the big names of today it would show how great he is. I don't think many other drivers would have been able to come back after such a long time with such changed cars and be competitive. I'm not a hater. Eventhough I don't root for him or his team I absolutely conceed that he is one of the alltime greats.
Me calling him a tourist driver wasn't trying to insult him but a means of saying even if he wouldn't perform, it wouldn't take away from his status of a worldclass driver.
I have just found out that the original French title is most probably "Ma ligne de conduite":

but I can't find any English edition of this book. Sorry :(
actually where Loeb has demonstrated he is an amazing driver is in my opinion:
- pikes peak
- xgames
there was a lot of pressure on those 1 day events, and he delivered. as simple as that.
eh, this thread just won't go away...
I agree he is, that's exactly the reason this thread is superfluous.
