I massively disagee with you there...2005 AND 2006 were Seb's years,but let me say that at least two drivers were faster than him back to 2004...It was difficult for him to win even on tarmac... ;)

How can you tell this while in 2004 Loeb took the title with 118 points!
And have a look to the other drivers:
Petter Solberg
Marcus Gronholm
Mikko Hirvonen
Markko Martin
Gilles Panizzi
Carlos Sainz
And Loeb was very young then...

Agreed, 2004 was a great performance by Seb- he was either 1st or 2nd on 12 of the 16 rallies. Most of those 2nd places were behind Petter. Petter and Markko both beat him several times, but Seb still had the most victories and was very fast on all the surfaces.

I think 2004 was his most impressive season; sure he had way more victories in the following years, but there was diminishing competition.

I think this was the year, more people started noticing him... ;)

He was fast on every surface but not the fastest...What I mean is that he was more a complete driver than the rest and that gave him the title...He was not the fastest on gravel because Petter was,but on tarmac Markko threatened him while Petter was behind both...

I agree with what you say but still believe 2004 title was the most tough and Loeb gave his best!
This time a complete driver is Mikko than the rest.
He isn't the fastest but he's 1st so far...

Yeah, Markko had some troubles with his car on that year like previous year. In GB retired due to engine failure, In Sardegna retied due to the turbo failure. In Turkey lost a lot of time due to electrical problem and terrible accident in Argentina and small accident in Greece.
