But it's going to be exiting... No doubt!!
Or 30% will be dissatisfied and dissappointed? :DQuote:

Super Seb of course.... ;)
I'd like Mikko to win, but that's not going to happen.
Loeb is going to take the title and I'll yawn with boredom.
What kind of hallucinogenics do you guys have in Norway?Quote:

Mikko as Champ leader is 1st on the road during Friday, on the 2nd run through Hafren he unaccountably slows at the approach to a hairpin and as Loeb is shaping to pass Mikko veers into his path putting them both out of the running! It worked in F1, why not WRC :D
I like your style...heheheQuote:

Ok, so 69% of forum-goers stand to be disappointed.
That's down from a high of almost 75%. Good work people!
I'm trying my best to be pessimistic. In actuality I am just bursting at the seams with excitement. I just don't want Mikko to pull a Duval and careen off the road at the first turn. Just trying to downplay all of the emotion for the time being.Quote:

But I feel confident Mikko feels confident in a way he felt in Finland. I truly hope we can celebrate a new world champion after this weekend.
I think Pentti said it best when he said; Aja kovaa Mikko !!!! :up:
My heart says Mikko, my head says Seb.
A.F.F, your absolutely right about them both having won & this being Mikko's favoured surface. My problem is with all of the pressure that will be on him (Mikko) this weekend will he be able to do the job, we know Loeb can. Look at it this way, does a driver that has the pace & mental strength required to win a championship settle for second on a rally that he should quite easily win (Australia).
I have voted, and you easily guess for who... ;)

And remember that C4 is better car than Focus (every driver who have driven both cars admit that).
And hey, Loeb is already a 5 times world champion - it means something. I expect him to win his 6th title in fight on stages - not thanks to questionable 'tactics'.
I still keep fingers crossed for Mikko. However it seems unlikely now... :(
Interesting......Quote:

Congrats to Loeb & Elena for winning another championship !
And congrats for Mikko for making 2009 a nice rally year !
Loeb is the best thats all ;)
If the champ is to be decided on the stages, the 2009 verdict look like this:Quote:

:D
The champ is usally on top or close. 2006 was different due to Loebs abscence from the last 4 rallies
I wrote on stages and not by number of stages won.Quote:

If you ensure me that they were going flatout on all this stages and doesn't count sss - it could mean something. But drivers preserve tires, back off, meet wild horses...
Lets look at GB stats:
Loeb - 9
Miko - 7
Based on splits it would be 8 to 8 if not the open bonnet.
And if we taking about stage wins - do you know Markku Alen?
ah great the crybabies have started.....move along there is nothing to see here.
As much as I would have wanted Mikko to win the title, I agree with N.O.T.
Mikko had his chances but Sebastien won, that's it. Next year please!
exactly, no point to whine, every year comes a new chance to beat Loeb or who ever is the current champ.Quote:

Latvala proved that if he stayed on the road what a good driver he can be. :)
Sordo proved that he could have won a rally if it was not for team orders. :)
Loeb achievd his 50th WRC win in Cyprus. :)
Ogier proved that he is a replacement for Loeb by coming 2nd in Greece. :)
Petter Solberg might be winning next year now that his in a better car. :)
