Rallye France Alsace 2013

I am not harsh... the way Loeb choose his retirement was the stupidest decision he ever made... his wins discredited the championship even more.

Ogier is sure the fastest driver by far but i would like Loeb to lose from him in a whole season (IF he could do that) to have a passing of the torch...

now Ogier just picked up the title from the garbage...

Congrats to Ogier.. outstanding performances all year, dominating possibly even more than Loeb used to.

And in the new VW which is amazing to thrash the Citroen & Ford establishment in its debut season.

Pity Loeb didnt do this season in full to give us a classic season before retiring...

What a load of tosh :laugh:

no... but ok... the pain ends in 3 days... the sideeffects will remain for a while.

Congratulations to sebastian,but i am afraid we will see the same things as we do the last decade.

I'm afraid they are confused.they think that he must finish the rally to secure the title. where they get this from???????
Quote from best- of -rally- live.


[SS1] Sebastien Ogier (Volkswagen) 3:21.6 "We manage to do this stage, so happy…" - If he finishes the rally, he will keep his Power Stage points and take the 2013 WRC Drivers Championship

Day trhee - Sordo pushes Ogier to the limit, they fight for a win but both crash out without finishing rally. Does Sordo gets his powerstage pionts without finishing.???? If this hapens - sordo and ogier doesn not finish - then who gets powerstage winning points - I would guess its Neuville. ????

Power stage is a different and independent part of the rally.you get the points no matter you finish the rally or not.i think they are confused.official vw site anounced Sebastians coronation,i think they are sure about what they are saying.

You are not correct. If Sordo finish the rally, he will receive 3 points from powerstage. If he will not finish, nobody will have 3 points. Bonus points from powerstage will not reallocate.
