[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

[Barreis]

He thought about fight infront of Provera when Panizzi did ilegal recce with bike. After incident at the end of that season Delacour had to leave.

[Miika]

After this year´s Finland I became a bit of a fan of Loeb, but if now after all these titles he needs to have a guarantee in writing about being the absolute number 1. in the team, and maybe pushing Ogier out of the team all together, that would be sad. I wish he would change team and show that he can do it in a totally different non-French enviroment.

If this is true it is sad, Loeb allegedly blocked Petter from getting ANY Citroen for a while after Subaru quit, then he got the ancient Xsara,and spent until Spain 09 to get another old C4, (rumours said that Loeb did his best to block this deal) then he had Sordo as his loyal lapdog supporting him. In the middle of last year Loeb went public and suggested it would be better if Ogier went to Ford, now for the first time Loeb has a real challenge in Ogier he wants to remove the competition. If Ogier is forced to Ford or Mini, and Loeb stays another year he picks up yet another championship. As Miika said, I had total respect for Loeb after his amazing Finland drive, now it seems its back to this. I bet Sordo is checking the terms of his Mini contract to see if he can go back to be Loeb's number 2 in Citroen.
On a positive it makes Petter at VW for likely. I hope Ogier's career wont be shafted by this.......

Really amazing stuff, now why would Loeb had wanted to block Petter?

[Barreis]

Bull****.

'Cos hes frightened of competition.

If he had done a kankunnen and left for other manufacturers, and still won, then I'd have a whole lot more respect for him.

And the facts are, not many people want to watch a kind of motorsport where the same thing happens over and over again. The same thing happened in F1 a few years ago with schumacher, the F1 fans call these years "the dark ages" :-)

I'm absolutely sure the sport will be a whole lot more popular if he retires, things will look up. After all, folk might aswel watch the 2004 season as oppossed to this season, nothing much has changed since then. Yawn.

No offence but respect of the unlearned isn't worth anything, other than '86 when he went from Peugeot to Lancia when Peugeot were quiting the sport did Kankunen leave a team that had a a decent car?

What kind of competiton would solberg bring ? the guy hasn't won an event since 1967...

and why would Loeb change teams ?? Drivers usually change teams when something goes wrong or have financial differences, NONE changes teams to "prove" things....do you have any real examples of a driver changing teams to prove his worth to 12 year old boys/girls ?? Kankunnen changed teams when lancia left and then when toyota left...same goes for Gronholm, Makinen ects...
