It is going to be a shame ...we need someone to beat Loeb and then retire...we a need a passing of the torch not a garbage picker champion after Loeb.

If in Loeb still have some "fighting spirit" he wait for Ogier in 2013 to finish their open affair from last year

So what are the other organizers expecting to do? NORF, Sweden, GB? Is it time to sack FIA and start an undependent WRC, regarding what rall2000 said on other topic?

but i thought the FIA were just there to govern the sport...not earn anything from it...like in F1..they do not earn anything from it...right ???

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

WRC leaders should go after all this blow.

I wouldn't be relying too much on rally2000's testimony to form opinion. It's very easy to claim to be an employee with the inside gen and slag off at all & sundry whilst hiding behind a nom de plume on the interweb. None of what he's written is new and the strong likelihood is that any information he has regarding new bidders is 3rd hand at best. People who've lost their livelihood always look for someone to blame and the FIA are trending highly at the moment.

I agree, there was no major revelations there in that post by supposed former employee.

In fact, how much of it wasn't known?

My reply was on the fact FIA wants to make even more money on WRC organizers who´s struggling with budgets, jepardizing the whole series, while they sold F1 to a private person now being a billiardere on the sport. What´s logic in that?

Imagine if loeb retires at the end of the season, and ogier wins next season! His championship will always be considered a farce, even though we all know he is much better than that.

IF Ogier is the next to win the championship after Loeb retires i think the poor finish fans are going to have a nervous breakdown and nuke the whole europe.... and given the fact that 20.000 of them managed to kick the butt of 1.5 million of the best soldiers in the wolrd a few years back i think we are going to be in deep trouble.

This goes with the Prodrive employee who's joined and commented in the forum as well?

Why do people complain that when someone from a team is in here they're Not real. And then winge that there are no official people in this forum... odd isn't it?

Even if they're real they're useless. Or you want to say you like this behaviour "I know it but I won't tell you"? For me it's retarded and annoying. If somebody wants to say something, let's do it in Antony Warmbold's way.

I'm not too worried because:
A) Finland was on defense
B) The Red Army of 1940 wasn't as good as the foreign-equipped Red Army of 1945 or even the motivated Red Army of 1920 that couldn't conquer Poland
C) By the end Finland lost to Russia two times in the same war. Not even Italy managed to do that.

That said you can't deny the country produces some excellent drivers and looks like a great place to live.
