    What is the worst thing that can happen this season ??

    First I want to say hi to the old members and hello to the new ones

    My fear is that with Ogier gone, Loeb will cruise to the title without any competition. Not that he don't deserve it but I truly hope this season won't be a boring one. If Ford can match the speed of Citroen, Latvala will be in flames, Mikko is allowed to win Sweden and Finland, Sordo can steal top podiums on tarmac and Ketomaa, Tanäk and co are able to visit on podiums, then this will be an interesting rally year.

    Agreed. And I fix the title as it should have been.

    The lack of budget for Mini, meaning very little development of the car. It showed promise last year......a shame.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    The worst thing is no TV-coverage at all (except for MC). Then the sport will slowly die, with VW leaving before it even started.

    Loeb wins again. Not that he wont deserve it (unless Mikko has to give up position more than expected) but Loeb winning has become routine, predictable and monotonous.
    The only way for the sport to gain interest from the casual motorsport fan is if he is knocked off the top, otherwise no-ones ears will be listening to our little corner.

    How good would it be to have a young flying finn back on top? Jari Matti

    Or we could have RallyPers situation, that wouldnt be very good either

    Yes severe lavatorial problems inside those three layer overalls could be the worst that could happen to WRC driver.
    I wonder if that is why Block dropped out, maybe they got tired of burning the overalls and disinfecting the car after all those SS1 and SS2 crashes?

    Or maybe they simply ran out of overalls.
