Also I doubt very much he will loose his licence either I would say that will get 'forgotten' about

Loeb has just spoiled one of my most favourite rallies

Shouldn't you be on the beach with your spade and bucket with mummy and daddy?

Each time Loeb drives better than your beloved Ford drivers you throw all your toys out of your pram and talk about how he ruined the rally or something. Get a grip! He's the best driver out there by far and that's why he won'.

You've just spoilt one of my favourite forums :( Boohoo!

Speeding in Finland can cause Seb to be banned in Finland, but not anywhere else, there is a precident for this, several drivers were banned in the UK for speeding on shakedown day in the UK, but could still compete internationally

Great result for Atkinson also, podiums always look best with 3 manus on them

---

Also.... do you have to have a valid drivers licence to compete in most of the international events? Could Elena not just drive the road sections if Seb is not allowed on the road?

P.S You just spoilt this forum for me :p

Atkinson 3rd in the standings, with more podiums than Latvala or Sordo, in vastly superior cars. Excellent.

Get him in a Citroen!

What an amazing win !!!! I think ridiculing the local kids in their home land was the best answer to the cheap tactics they used in Turkey to win the rally...

Very good drive by atkinson as well....

Lets see what tactic ford has in mind for Germany....

I don't want to spoil the enthusiasm but for sure is not the same.... Is different story to win Hirvonen and Atkinson and another story to win Kankounen, Alen and Vatanen on their home ground....! Is just not the same story. The result may be the same but is just not the same thing.
I think he is a driving phenomenon who is taking advantage the absence of competition. As I said before I would be really impressed if he had won with Marcus following...! But things wouldn't be the same for him if the competition was immense as it was those years when Auriol got the win in Finland.

Bwahahahahaha Duval isn't Loeb. He'll push him for a few stages and then realise that he's beaten.

Probably, but he'll be the closest to Loeb I think (maybe Sordo, mmmh) and eventually in front of him (although also very close), at least I hope so.
