2007 WRC prediction thread

Well I think Finland was one of the rallies that was mentioned. Could be wrong

[harvick#1]

Loeb will win it again with Citroen, Sordo may pop in a win as well.

Gronholm will once again be Sebastien only fight for the title.

Subaru can't get much worse so they'll improve hopefully.

I will also put my money on Loeb. He is simply a level above Grönholm - both in terms of speed and fewer driver errors.

And the new C4 will be very fast. No doubt about that.

[Integrale]

I think it's going to be more tight than this year: Solberg with BF Goodrich rubber, Loeb with a new car and Grönholm is always fast. We'll have to see if the C4 is fast straight out of the box, that's the main question for 2007. If it is, I don't see anyone stopping Loeb, he's just a class of his own. Pity we'll have to wait until Mexico, because Monte, Sweden and Norway are.. well.. events for specialists.

I'm very anxious to see coverage of the new events like Norway, Portugal and Ireland. Those should be very good rallies.

As for myself, I hope Duval finds a good drive. It's really a shame that the greatest Belgian talent of this generation drives with a privateer Skoda. But I know he f*cked up for himself too.

I cant wait to see what the Irish rally will be like.

I think the most important things for next season are all Loeb related, Ill be interested to see if he is fully recovered from his injury for next season and how the C4 stands up. I just cant see it being the same kind of machine as the Xsara was.

Hi,

I'm back as the former forum is down...


On the paper(that means theorycally), Marcus Grönholm could have an advantage next year, as his car won't be new...but one never know what the real life is made of !! :

Why not go there next year Just a short drive to the ferry for you I'd be guessing?

[A.F.F.]

My prediction is that Latvala will surprise us all, even bigger than he did in Wales.

[Captain VXR]

It will be close but I want Solberg to get his second title

[Simmi]

I still think Loeb will win straight out of the box on the Monte. Luckly for us all we wont have that long to wait before we find out.
