Poor Ogier.. Loeb managed to break him before he retired... cruel man.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to have competed in the same event/s as Michele during her Quattro days know that in the car she has bigger balls than just about any man we know.
During those days when she was running in the dark and dust there normally was only one minute between cars, not four or five, you were very fortunate if you could get two.
We can't put the old Gp B drivers into todays cars but if we could then I am sure some of todays hot shots would get one hellava surprise at her speed, bravery and ability.
Oh look, we're praising history again.
I'm amazed David Evans managed to type the words 'Tour de Corse'. He usually struggles with foreign names and after crossing out several attempts just settles for something easy like 'Rally of France'. Or, if he's feeling smug, will show that he was able to translate the original rally title into English all by himself and type 'Tour of Corsica' like a show-off.

Sebastien Ogier: Rally Australia shouldn't become 2016 WRC finale
By David Evans Wednesday, September 16th 2015, 16:07 GMT
Sebastien Ogier wants Rally GB to remain in its position as the last round of the World Rally Championship amid a potential calendar swap with Rally Australia for 2016.
Next year's WRC schedule is due to be revealed at the end of this month, with Australia widely tipped to move to the season finale.
But three-time world champion Ogier urged FIA officials to consider the sporting implications of such a change given the high level of road cleaning the championship leader would face in Australia.
"Imagine if it was the last round and you go there and play for the championship on that event; on such a rally," he said.
"With such a disadvantage on the starting order, would it be a nice end for the championship? I don't think so.
"If you go there as the leader, it would be really unfair and we don't have this problem in GB - the difference between first and second on the road there is very small."
One of the key elements for Australia's push to be the final round of the series is the staging of an end-of-season party in Sydney on the Monday night after the rally.
The organisers are reckoned to have set aside around a quarter of a million pounds for the black tie ball.
There was, however, little appetite for staying around after the rally and season had finished.
Volkswagen's Jost Capito said: "We already have the FIA's gala and we have our party ourselves, I'm not sure [it's necessary]."
M-Sport chief Malcolm Wilson was also dismissive.
"I can tell you now, we won't be there," he said of his self-funded team.
Ogier added that drivers would have little appetite for post-event festivities in Sydney.
"The priority number one is not the party," he said.
"OK, we must always support the events to promote the rallies, but after that rally I'm not sure people want to stay longer. I think they might want to get home."
