You haven't seen his sisu yet. I'm sooooo looking forward seeing Juho in full flat-out rally (Sweden, Finland) and also proper tarmac rally. Fingers crossed!Quote:

Ok, that sounds a plan to me then ;)Quote:

Great time by Juho and a 1-2 for Ford on the stage.
Where is N.O.T. and those who slagged the IRC (Ladycup !) now ??
Hanninen proves they are top quality drivers who often just need to get a chance ...
"This is the only stage where I am able to drive this car and use the potential." :)
Isn't SS10 about to start?
I really pity us (WRC fans), sitting infront of our PC's staring into the split screen, hitting refresh button every 30 seconds... we really deserve much more than that :(
Grönholm did one rally in it and was immediately fast. And Burns was not too bad in it either :)Quote:

no loeb on splist whats happening
I can't believe how unstable this timing system is... the times are screwed again.
Last four years were live on Eurosport for millions of TV spectators. I was there all those four year and didn't enjoy this luxury. This year I stayed home and... there is nothing :(Quote:

you rather have PR-robots? I like to thank Marlboro, Volkswagen, Michelin, Total, Magnetti Marrelli, BP, Esso, Castrol, Abu Dhabi and my dear friend Loeb, my nicest competitor Dani Sordo...etcetera? I like drivers with an own identity who speak their minds. Ogier gives no damn about Loeb, because Loeb is not doing the champoinship. I rather have 3 real human drivers then 10 pr controled puppets.Quote:

Totally agree with you, Mitsu's had no money for a good second driver, every time they put somebody valuable behind the wheel the car looks fast enough.Quote:

And with his comment at one of the stage-ends yesterday, he left no doubt in my mind that he has a much better feel with the DS3 already.. And him commenting that he loved the car in these conditions should be plenty for everyone else as well.Quote:

Anyone else hear that interview as well?
I have very much respect for Mikko and I'm well aware how fast he is on Swedish and Finnish roads (didn't see him in Sweden personally but in NORF I did). However to win a championship it's not enough. I just remember frequent talks how Mikko is loosing to Loeb just because Focus is inferior car to C4, than how Fiesta is inferior to DS3. Then Mikko moved to DS3 and... nothing changed. Loeb has been still same dominant and Mikko has been still same fast in certain conditions but weaker in other.Quote:

Did Colin just call Seb O -- Loeb?
O. did get mad at the French language interviewer, though!
yes, but corrected himselfQuote:

Awesome!!!Quote:

Everyone knows Loeb is a talent and he is the best driver in the last couple of seasons. No I do not support Loeb, on the contrary, seeing Loeb leaving WRC is good for the sport.Quote:
