And while Sordo is good, he can't hold a candle to the likes of Hirvonen.

"And while Sordo is good, he can't hold a candle to the likes of Hirvonen."
Wouldn't quite be so emphatic on that point if I were you.
And I wouldn't discount VW, they may not be title winning material yet but they can certainly influence the outcome.

As my erudite Irish friend has indicated it doesn't do to compare Sordo as dutiful No2 to Seb with Sordo 2013 edition 'If I don't win a rally this year I'm giving up'.
I don't see a lot of difference between them so far on the Monte and in a well-sorted car they are both behind Ogier with JML catching them. The doubt was, would VW hit the ground running - early days but stage wins would indicate they have.
Throw a consistent Ostberg and an improving Novikov into the mix and I'd say we have a completely open championship with wins having to be earned not inherited. Mikko is going to have to push more often than previously on his favoured events - and then there's tarmac.Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

I can see Loeb doing the whole championship this year only if he thinks he can win it mind. I think he's using Monte Carlo and Sweden to see if the can compete against Volkswagen and seb 2.0

I think the fight within Citröen is going to be a killer this season. Hopefully there won't be any team orders until the end f the season if those are needed. Hirvonen and Sordo have their strong and their weak points, let's see who raises to the top.
There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Re: Citroen WRT
Contratule to Meeke and Ostberg with new job.
2014 will be fun, with no french and no finn!
