no he hasn't, he will lose at least 2 points in every tarmac rally, and will maybe lose some gravel events by being first on the road on day 1..

Whatever, I hope it will be exciting and that the title isn't lost by a retirement after a silly mistake - from either of them.
I think it's crucial that Marcus settles for high points on the tarmac rounds and doesn't throw anything away.If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

One thing is sure. Sebastien is not allowed to retire anymore. 19pts could be too much to catch, even for him.
By the way, last time when Sebastien retired because of technical problem was in Sweden 2005. The second Citroen has had problems more often. It's a matter of time when this happens to Seb...

Well the difference is too sort. However the pressure is more on Loeb's shoulders than Gronholm's given that he is chasing instead of being chased as usual.
In the Acropolis first time I actually saw Loeb being stressed and having the pressure on him. He has no margin for error but ofcourse the same applies to Marcus.
Furthermore it would be great if Solberg and Subaru can repeat their last performance to add some more pressure to the championship contenders. Make the fight more interesting.
Gronholm we know is human. We had the proof in the past. This year was Loeb's turn to show the signs...! And he has!
Even in the current boring format I 'm still interested to see what will happen!FIAT ABARTH SQUADRA CORSE

But there are a couple of differences (as mentioned by other). One more DNF by Loeb and it will be game over for him. Gronholm can survive a DNF but then it has to be in a tarmac rally where he realistic would only score 6 points.
PS: If i have to guess I would say that Sardegna will cost Loeb this years title.Supporting Ogier in the WRC & Ferrari in F1 & Ducati in MotoGP.

Also, it's interesting to see how Sordo handles pressure. If Citroen wants to have the manufacturers title, Sordo has to win both Marcus and Mikko on tarmac in every event. He must have a lot pressure, because of that.
