Last of that was lost together with the three-driver teams. It's on many fans wish list that the local heroes would get their chances on top machinery without too big (=impossible) budget.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Loeb will still be dominant on tarmac like he was last year, but not to the lengths he was.
Speaking of the xsara, who actually has beaten loeb on tarmac? I know markko martin has in a ford, and gilles pannizzi in catalunya...but who else?
Kinda why I think rally deutschland is a boring rally, we can predict the results before the event has even taken place.
I do like duval though(even though most people on here dont) I wonder why VW havent considered him?
Rallye Deutschland is boring because it's virtually the same every year - day 1 in the vineyards, day 2 in the Bosberg military area, and day 3 in the country roads. It never changes.......About time it had major changes - or moved it somewhere else.Quote:

Unless Mini is in? Sordo might stir things up a bit.
For asphalt is Duval a bit better IMO especiailly for Deutschland remember RACB Xsara..
I thought 3rd drivers were only useful to take places off rivals for example Harri Rovanpeara. They seemed to fill the role that M2 drivers do now.

They must take the example of Sardinia. This year an entire 1st day unknow! And if we come back, there's a new leg ready near Cagliari! :DQuote:

Worst rally acropolis moment for him was in 2004 where he had all kinds of troubles with the fiesta s1600 and retired (he says that thankfully the fiesta wrc is much more reliable than the fiesta s1600 which was unreliable). Best moment for him was in 2009 where he was leading then retired and he then managed to finish 3rd. His idol is Kannkunen. Finland is his favourite and after that Australia and NZ. He doesn't like acropolis. He prefers the fiesta than the focus because its more fun to drive. he likes the power stage introduction and thinks it will bring more people to the sport. He is in favour of a starting position change but not mid season. he is very close to his co-driver and he is a very reliable one despite the mistake in sardinia...and finally he is going after the win in acropolis but a podium would suffice since its a hard event.
now you can all thank me and spread the word to the world how great i am for doing this....
Thank you N.O.T. You`re the greatest!
