SS1 in less than an hour now.
I think Loeb has a difficult job this weekend. he has admitted he will be driving for the championship. It is sometimes easier to make a mistake doing that. For sure, the Ford posse (Gronholm, Hirvonen, Latvala, Solberg, and I think also Wilson) will have been told to go for it, they HAVE to beat Loeb for Marcus to win the championship, but I think they will also be hoping the Subau's will be up there too. When you take into account its two years since Loeb competed in Wales, and 4 years since he competed in Wales in November, there could be quite a few spanners in the works...
This is actually a quite interesting rally due to this aspect; we will probably be able to se the real speed of some of these guys in the "Ford posse", since they probably have been ordered/asked to push. Tactics and other issues are likely to be of lesser importance in this rally than in most others. Looking forward to it!
Sure, maybe Aitkinsen, Latvala, P.Solberg and Hirvonen can stay ahead of Loeb.
But going on past results.
Aitkinsen will be fast out of the blocks and then fall off.(Lets hope not)
Latvala will be quick as hes done the roads before.
P.Solberg will be fast but will have some stupid failure.
Hirvonen will be consistently fast.
If those predictions come true I'll become a Physic.
Yes, it will be interesting to hear the comments from Loeb after SS1. I don't think his feeling will be good if he drives slightly differently than usual on roads with so many grip changes. Tricky.
I think he will have to push.
My prediction...
Loeb will be in the heat of the battle for top three without special effort (i.e. taking big risks). Welsh forests will be full of pieces from maximum attack focuses which were doing fine until.....as well as blue pieces from subies.
I hope I eat my words.
I am not a Loeb fan as I wasn´t a Bosse fan during his golden 2000 - 2002, but I admit that Seb is an exceptional driver everywhere.
I hope Gro get the champ without others having accident. It is just the fact that C4 owes Loeb a mechanical failure for once.
Good morning, Gentleman start your engines. :)
