Mikkelsen's good when he doesn't crash in the first stage. Loix can be a lot faster than he was with his stint at Mitsubishi.
Loix was total **** in the Hyundai and in the Mitsubishi.Quote:

That's hardly a success. In my opinion it was only the combination of Tomi and Lancer which was winning but the car itself wasn't a winner.
thats true, mitsubishi focused only on mäkinen. loix is defenetly a very good driver, especially on ruff tarmac. and hyundai...how could you be fast in that car?
don't agree with you, when burns was at his best in mitsubishi (98) he had decent results and he often crashed that's why the final results don't show it. but loix when he came to mitsu in 99 he was nowhere. burns had 37 SS wins in 98 and loix just 4 between 99-2001... i think that tells smt on his abilities
Are you measuring how good Freddie Loix of 2011 is based on his outings ten or more years ago? It's hard to compare his speed against WRC drivers because there are no recent starts, but on S2000 machinery and on tarmac, he is one of the fastest.
Yep Loix got a nice treatment with Toyota but when it stopped he went to Mitsubishi what was bad the car was made around Makinen and only around him and there was a clan around Tommi where Loix didn't belong. Hyundai was crap and Peugeot well yeah Corrado with the cigar..
