How many points did portugal cost gronholm?
I read him saying in a recent interview that his most favorite car was and will always be the 206 WRC because the pleasure he took with it was incredible and unmatched. he said that the pleasure with the Ford has been different because the handling of the car was different.Quote:

And 2000 was special because it was his first title and the first full season of the car!
Congratulations to Sebastien Loëb and Daniel Elena !!
Solá 25th on stage 16. He defeated half of PWRC :D nice in the muddy conditions with 2WD, 2 minutes infront of second 2WD...
Congrats to Seb and Helena
congrats to Bosse and Timo for beeing in rallies last 10 years

I think the only one who is not good in his Head is you, Mr. Mousefart !Quote:

Marcus lost out the championship on tarmac, not weird; Loeb's got a 100% asphalt score since the beginning of 2005!

But Loeb's last gravel win was Argentina back in May.
True but can't NZ be considered as a Loeb's win too?Quote:

No, it was Gronholm's brilliant victory.Quote:

Just got back from sunny Wales. Latvala's problem on stage 6 was broken windsceen wiper mechanism. He had to stop 5 times to clear the screen. Also Wilson had the very same fault just after that stage. Mathew did a big test before this rally with Mikko. Mikko took him as a passanger and vice versa.And it showed. But think about this. Without penalties Jari-Matti would have won the whole rally!!!
Keep believing that....Quote:

Mikko & JML are worse on tarmac. They need to do alot better on that surface.Quote:

No much against Loeb, and Sordo is getting better on gravel.Quote:

Crashed at finish ss14, damaged drivers side and roll cage. States dosen't know what he hit, a tree or logs. Would use super rally to be classified.Quote:

The trouble for Citroën could be that Latvala's potentiel is higher than Sordo's. I thought that both potentials were equal or almost equal. After, this rally, I am not so sure. Latvala is better than I thought and I expected a little more from Sordo without the fog.
There is another thing: Let's face it, Sordo is not able to go flat out in the fog. That seems normal to me.
Hirvonen and Loeb especially are very fast in the fog. They trust the notes 100 %. Are they machine?
How's that? Is there a Greek driver entering the series?Quote:

Congratulations for Sebastien and Daniel.
Thanks Marcus and Timo for the great moments we had and we hope to see you again sometimes.
Congratulations for Mikko and Jarmo.
J-M Latvala had a super Wales rally and will keep the tradition from the Finnish rally drivers up for the future.
Congratulation to Ford. Thanks to Ford to stay in rallysport for so long, they will be the most famous brand for ever.

I understood what there's bad about Sebastien. Not him being so fast un unbeatable. But his fans' behavior. They behave like they are the only great, while others, who support Gronholm, Solberg, etc. are just idiots who bet on crap drivers. They call Loeb being the status figure, thus saying that the likes of Gronholm and Sainz, who have "just" 2 titles each, aren't masters and status drivers! Well, at least I've seen this on the example of russian Loeb's fans. They position themseleves as |we are clever, others are silly"... Pity to see this. Gronholm's, Solberg's fans don't have such an attitude to Loeb's ones.
What ? :confused:Quote:
