    I'm pretty sure it took Sainz 3 or 4 goes before he won Dakar. I think it's unrealistic to suggest Loeb would win Dakar on his first attempt. Dakar is more than outright pace. That's my opinion anyway

    Ari Vatanen managed to win Dakar on his first attempt, and went on to win several more Dakar's.

    Sainz & Vatanen did it with factory team. Loeb will drive private car if he does Dakar.

    Dakar is a bit of a lottery... "Everyone" can win it, first, 2nd or 30th attempt.
    With an experienced co driver next to him, he certainly has a chance, even on his first attempt!

    I found this article on WRC.com a bit of fun:

    World Rally Championship - News - Features - Top 10 toughest stages in the world

    Though I can't say I agree with all of the choices.

    Likewise, St Gwynno is insignificant compared to any of the long Kielder stages or the full Dalby stage. It's not even the most difficult in Wales!!
    As for Panzerplatte * rolls eyes * Spare me! I was very disappointed by the stage difficulty in general and the Gina 'hop' (not really a jump) in particular
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    St Gwynno...who picked that one? What about the 35m+ of Pundershaw..?? And what about Jutbo in Sweden?

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
