Not good for the champonship really. I think Mikkelsen has a real chance of finishing second in this championship now if he can keep it on the road - been faster than Mads at all levels so far and he seems like the second best driver at the moment. Which is a sad indictment for the lack of competition!Quote:

He has had lots of time testing it and he was often close to Ogier in the Fabias last year (a better indication than his IRC campaign) However he will not beat Ogier and JML often enough to catch Mikko and will have to stay ahead of Mads (when the Fiesta doesn't let him down). 5th place is the best he can hope for, especially as he will be frequently 'under orders'Quote:

It's a sad time for WRC. Rallying has been my favourite sport for nearly 20 years. Now that Loeb's gone, I've come to realize that there haven't been any truly great drivers for years (the likes of McRae, Sainz, Mäkinen and Kankkunen). The problem with WRC to me isn't the lack of manufacturers, it's the lack of truly great drivers (Østberg, Novikov, Latvala, Hirvonen... - I see no future in them). Add to this the fiasco in this years Monte CarLOL (where the most important stages were canceled due to inexcusable reasons) I haven't followed the sport anymore. Even during the last ten years when times were really difficult, I always believed that WRC would be able to bounce back, but this year has proved me wrong. Rallying has the potential to be the greatest sport there is, so I'm sad and surprised that I've completely lost interest in WRC.
