So **** Loeb and his title, right ??

During this trouble time between driver and team ... Official, rumour, yes, no.......

Here the link for the OFFICIAL info about WRC SEASON 2009 for the entrylist'09 !!

No more Marcus/Timo.. Maybe Bettega memorial again..

Accept that Van Merksteijn Motorsport will not be a MT2, but "only" privateers doing 8 WRc rounds in a Focus WRC07.

Bu******s. The performance was very good but nothing 'super-mega' relevant ... he was battling with Rovampera (Mitsu) for the second place, minutes behind Duval ^^ if the top drivers wouldn't be crashed/retired, he'd be battling for a 5th place. Skoda mechanics were nearly crying after the failed clutch change.

Hey I didn't say I believed it. Just that this was what some said.

Daniel: If they had to retire because of something illegal, I think they would have retired in less amateur looking way. After this retirement they looked like a party of bunglers. Everything is possible but I think that they just failed...

This is what the die hard skoda fans seem to forget, but when a guy who never has won anything starts to talk about winning cars, and how with small changes make the Fabia into a winner they buy it like nothing.
