[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

I would also like to see him actually lose a championship before he retires to know that at least someone is better than him and we don't lose the best WRC driver like that.

Exactly my thought.
I would like to see him driving a non-Citroen car, but since VW is joining WRC only in 2013, it's not likely going to happen.

Testing, and some appearances in an LMP1 car.....(hopefully).

Agree!

Le Mans is a great challenge to Loeb, and winning WRC with another manu is even a greater one!

By allowing Ogier to dispute Loeb leadership, Quesnel has secured the younger Seb at Citroen but probably will be responsable for Loebs departure.

This's bull****. Why should he retire? To comeback like Schumi when he'll be out of sport for three years?! Or Gronholm... Loeb's the best and he can drive for 5 seasons on top for sure.

[logic]

To be honest i would like to see how he would do at another team. To see if he can win championships elsewhere.

he will not come back if he retires...maybe some events for fun.

yes and then you would like him to rally at 50 years old to see if he can do it...or go to another team and see if he can win with 3 teams...and then in a monocycle....and then of course you would like to see him in the 80s and the 70 where drivers back then were real men and were winning events by limping the car to the finish driving at average speeds of 70km/hr.....blah blah blah

the thing is, he is in a team and he ridiculed everybody that passed though that team from Sainz to Colin to Solberg to Duval....made them quit retire and go to their retirment homes humbled.

If he wins the championship this year he is going to be the BEST motorsport personality ever lived...NONE other motorsport driver/rider managed to win 8 concecutive titles....accept it.

[Plan9]

If he did do a few select events in any WRC car, I assume they would be tarmac and he would win them, probably frustrating some of the full time (lesser) drivers. I'm not sure when another driver will win in Germany for instance.

[N.O.T]

time out of the sport makes you slower...Marcus in sweden was a good example...Rally is a dicipline that requires contstant touch to be able and be competitive at the highest level.

If he leaves the sport he never going to win again, you may have the talent but the risks you take in one off events are far less.

[danon]

It's better for Loeb to take some pressure off testing one year with VW.
Then get back on stage with a brand new car developed by himself.
Nobody expects miracle to happen in short term.
But just in here lies the surprise.
You never know.
Miracles Do Happen.

[Plan9]

I for one will be please to see any name other than HIS at the top of the drivers table at the end of a season for once.
