Well, to be fair, we don't know whether they would be able to do it or not, because they've never had to. However, suffice to say that I feel you can judge a true motorsport enthusiast on their attitude to the sport's history.

i am very respectful towards rallying history but i give credit where is due....those people achieved amazing things back then but they did not do anything better or worse than the champions of today.

all these people who think that they give credit to the old guys by diminishing the champions of today are just little people who fortunately they will extinct like the dinosaurs they support....

Things move forward ...you evolve or you extinct.

Which is not the opinion you put forward at all. If that's you being respectful towards history, I'd hate to see you being disrespectful.

Where have I, for example, ever diminished the champions of today? Far from it — I for one believe the achievements of Loeb, for example, bear comparison with any of the greats, so far ahead of the pack is he. But my comparison between the actions of Clark and Raikkonen does not fall into this category at all.

Quite so — but this in no way means that everything in the modern age is automatically to be praised.

Back on subject people, maybe this is for another thread ;)

Woaaa, I didn't even know we had a rally this week-end .. Read somewhere that Sordo was leading a French rally .. A preparation rally I thought, but fudge me, he's leading a WRC event! Lets hope he takes the win.

I am gueniuenly suprised that Sordo is leading, but hopefully petter can win for the first time in over 6 years.


Think back and remember all the things that have happened since September 2005?
