Loeb is the greatest ever WRC driver - Marcus Gronholm

[Xsara-WRC]

I think that all of Loebs success is due to the illegal citroen and his luck....

How crazy can you be to talk like that .....!!!

Loeb has indeed luck, but that's because he creates his own luck.

I will always have a nagging doubt about Loeb unless I see him in a team other than Citroen, or even how he would compare against Marcus or Petter if they were ever had a chance to drive a proper Citroen.
It will be interesting to see how close Atkinson & Ogier are to Loeb by the end of 2009.

...for me is Röhrl the greatest... if you count pre-WRCars era...but maybe it's Mäkinen, maybe it's Loeb...

[N.O.T]

for me the greatest ever is Loix and warmbold...give them the illegal citroen and they will be champions.

COLIN no matter which car ... and this thread can stop here :P

...for me is Röhrl the greatest...

Really good choice!

Seb is the driver with the best record in WRC. But, is he the best Rally driver ever?
The World Rally Champioship for Drivers was created in 1979. In 1978 Markku Alen won the FIA cup - a famtastic driver, Walter Rohrl has been the first to win more than one World Rally Champiobship, Stig Blomqvist showed everbody that you could slide in a 4wd, Kenneth Eriksson hes done miracles with a VW Golf (introducing, along with Stig, the left foot breaking technique).
I don´t think Loeb is the best ever - probably he might be - because it's impossible to evaluate drivers of different times. What about Paddy Hopkirk, Jean-Pierre Nicolas, Sandro Munari or Henri Toivonen - my favourite - among others?
Was Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna better than Juan Manuel Fangio or Tazio Nuvolari?
Considering the multiple abilities of a driver, than the best driver in the world would be Pedro Matos Chaves: he has been champion in singleseat cars, Gt's, Touring Cars, Rallies. He is a friend of mine, but I would elect Gilles Villeneuve (Yes he did rallying, and won all he finished)

since Loeb is the only driver left in the WRC (we all know his 6th title is in the bag) can Max Mosely hand back our championship so he can have true competition and show exactly how skilled he is?
