the video proves that the whole thing was staged long before the challenge was issued....

Who cares if it was staged? Loeb is just going to show the people of the USA that he is amazing, he should have worldwide recognition for his achievements! The GRC is pretty boring, but with Gronholm hammering everyone, it shows the level that WRC drivers are at. It will probably be a battle between Loeb and Gronholm......and as rally fans who doesn't want to see that!?!! It's all a bit of fun for them both really, but Citroen need a decent car because from what i've seen in Rallycross there are massive differences in the cars. Are the rules fairly relaxed?

Well, it will be following the typical rally cross format, as the x games is acting as a round for the GRC, if I'm not mistaken. The car should be great coming from Hansen. Excited that the US audience is getting some loeb exposure. Should be an entertaining event, if anything.
