    Who'hot, who's not 2007

    Every year the same at the end of the season. Now I start this thread. I like it...

    Not...
    Driver: Stohl. Tired old man, must be forbidden to do interviews with him.
    Car: Suzuki new WRC. No power. JWRC Swift is faster(?)
    Rally: Portugal, another same gravel rally
    Team: Subaru can't make a winning car.
    Other: Ford's penalty for the windows in Portugal.

    Hot
    Driver: I choose Latvala, makes impress in last half of the season.
    Car: Offcourse the Focus WRC. Even Fins can win stages an druive fast on tarmac. Loriaux
    Rally: I chosse for Ireland, Norway good second. But the charistic road in Ireland with mud, I choose for.
    Team: Ford wins with a good car and have good people to build the team further.
    Other: Hirvonen wins in Norway. That is the way.

    What is your hot/not list?

    Did forget that.

    Without this the standing would be 116/115 in favor of Loeb, but then Hirvonen could ease of a bit, and Grönholm would win with 116/117...

    NOT

    Al Qassimi just an advert driver
    S12B *****
    Sardinia looks bland on telly
    Kronos no heart and soul for WRC
    FIA constant tinkering and still managing to appeal to the same reduced demographic, ie. over 35 C2 and C1.


    HOT

    Latvala his time is now
    C4
    Ireland what a debut
    Ford
    SSSs in Ireland different and daring compared to others.

    Hot:
    Leob the Robot
    Gronholm (for the most part)
    Latvala
    The Fords and C4s

    Not:
    Gronholm after Germany.. Back to his old crashy self.
    Subaru... So many hollow promises...
    OMV/Kronos.. Dissapointing compared to last year.
    Loeb winning again..
    Ford's windows..
    Slowson Wilson

    Now I try to get some sleep and hope that for some wondeful reason Gronholm becomes no.2 at ford next year and wins the championship.
