    Can't think of any current top drivers who would have been using their own money for WRC apart maybe Petter few years back before he got enough sponsors for his own team.

    And how many federations are there that could financially help their drivers to international top level?

    I have wondered the same thing many times myself. Certainly, it is easy to see that it is becoming harder for him to look interested or to find anything interesting to say at end of stage interviews for example, or when talking about a "good fight" with Mikko.

    Little known fact: Chuck Norris is played by a Frenchman from the Alsace region.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    What exactly make loeb so much better than the other drivers? Is it completely raw talent? Is it fitness practice and preparation? Does he perform lengthy analysis of each event after?

    Seeing them last week in Acropolis - Loeb more precise and his driving contains less improvisation, everything seems more planned from outside. The Ford guys are running wider, driving a lot on loose gravel, more sideways etc. Loeb's style remember me to Makkinen in many things.

    sometimes it is easier to find where someone is better, if you try and look where the competitions fails....

    I haven't seen the son of Citroens manager trying to be a rally driver... and i haven't seen Loeb when he makes mistakes to mention any magic stones.
