    Sebastien Ogier, a man to beat.

    It just hit me... If we take out Loeb who retired, the last time I can recall a guy who was faster or equally fast with equal machinery, was one Esapekka Lappi at NORF.

    Enough provoking even it's true... Ogier at this moment reminds me of Marcus Grönholm when he drove 206. It seems he can do anything with Polo and there is no-one to stop him. I can't believe I'm saying this but I almost wish that Loed didn't retire, just to get some competition to the rallies.

    Alas I'm afraid you are right... I dread to think we are witnessing the beginning of a new ruthless reign...

    Fingers crossed that Mads can find the right stuff to keep Ogier from having walk overs.

    Should Ogier win this years Drivers' title it will be the 10th in a row for France.

    That aside, Ogier did show in 2010 & 2011 that he is made by the same stuff as Loeb, and I think he might dominate in the years to come. Anyway, it's fine by me ... just sad he is in that woman's car instead of in a Citroën where he belongs. (IMHO)

    Agreed. Ostberg's going to be the one to bring him down.

    In my opinion it's the endless ambitions and tons of self confidence what together with exceptional skills makes him a different animal. If he continues like that it's gonna be tough future because Sebastien II. is of those who don't satisfy himself by just winning. He seems to aim to beat his opponents to dust.
