The guy is a genius - end of debate.

What he has is a very rare thing. He has has a combination of attributes that we have rarely seen before in any single rally driver.

He may not be the quickest ever, but he's not far off.
He may not be the bravest ever, but he's not far off.
He might not be the most intelligent driver we have ever seen, but i think he is.
I also think he is one of the coolest drivers under pressure that we have ever seen.

Put all these attributes together in one single talent, and you have a world beater in any era.

Stop criticising and be thankful that we are all around at time where we can appreciate and enjoy a unique and truly world class driver at the very top of his form.

By the way, I firmly believe that Loeb would be at the very top of whichever motorpsort discipline he chose to compete in. So in someways we are very lucky to have him.

Vive la France et allez Seb!!!

Thank you Sir, :up:

It is pleasant sometimes to read some intelligent comments, not marked by the jealousy or of xenophobia.
The sport must be the place or the tolerance is the rule, and to applaud a competitor when he won, which of any nationality or any team, remains the most elementary gesture that an person which respect himself must express.
They are all great champions, they deserve great supporter too !

Vive le sport

With all the garbage being served up with this rally, I hope to never see it run again.

Think the splits were ok any time I tried them.

Very sad to see such a rally...
What happened about the 50% distance to get full points rule?
Have extra stages been added or will the teams be getting only 50% points?

One extra stage was added today to full 2/3 of the route and could be awarded full points.

The popularity of a driver is not relative to his success. Loeb may be the best driver ever, but his character and driving style is boring if you ask me. Therefore I can understand people who are tired of seeing Loeb win every time.

But it's his driving style that makes him be the best!

When he's driving or interviews or what ever....theres nothing special. at least you get something from gronholm at the end of the stage saying something like driving like his grandmother lol also you have dudu driving with his tongue poking out haha other then that...not much of a character.

transport from city to city after SSS because of weather/airport
6th May 2007, 15:54
N.O.T

because the super special was 700 kms away from the proper stages and because of bad weather the planes carrying the drivers couldn't fly.

Loebs driving style may be boring, but at least he HAS a driving style unlike those "entertaining" characters such as Duval and Gigi who don't seem to be doing much driving at all lately...

[oh I know, that was a low blow but I just couldnt resist it]

Do you have any suggestions regarding how certain drivers (such as Henning) could improve their slow morning starts?
Do the others do mental/physical activities to get switched on before the first stage or is it just one of those things you can't help?

Oh dear, it's this one again. Personally Corny, I think it's dangerous to compare any champion to the stars of a previous era. The sport has evolved (for better or worse) so much.
Who is to say that past great could have cut the mustard in todays short sprint races with constant media pressure and round the clock globe trotting.
Likewise we'll never know if the current crews could have handled the long drawn out battles of old.

All we know is that right now (with according to the word of certain loonytunes the help of a nationalistically biased FIA and magical mystical tyres) that Seb is kicking butt

Great question. I have some answers next week.

You are right sir. I am fed up with the kind of answer like : " Everthing is perfect, the car perfect and the driver is perfect....."

Did you follow his interview on Eurosport after day 2? Asked how was the stages, he replied : " It was good, the car good and driver good" Is it him to say he is perfect or is up to others to say and notice that ?

But when you follow Marcus' interview he is nice guy, joking and saying real things like " I have one gear ..."

We know Loeb is one of the best in WRC but he has to wait others saying that and no one could imagine Michel Schumacher beaten by young driver in F1 for 2 consecutives year after such brilliant career in F1 for 7 years. Every thing has an end.

PTV, the company that hosts the live broadcasts, must use the same live stream for all of their web-based live content. This isn't the first time I have seen a soccer match waiting for the super special to start... gives me something to do at least.
