Excuse my statement. Petter is now 2-4 in points with no podiums.

What does '2-4 in points with no podiums' mean? Is it some WRC talk I've yet to hear of?

Well deserved win from Loeb, nice to see Atkinson doing good result too, hopefully the new car brings him chances to really go for the win.

I can see why so many people have little interest in WRC its a total joke now..I wonder if it will ever be great again like the 80's and 90's I doubt it very much......

What exactly did Loeb win this weekend? A event with only 20 stages and no opposition for most of the event oh yes he must feel great!!!

2 rallies out of 4 with points, but Petter has not scored any podiums. Clear?

I don't like to be a pessimist, but I agree with you. The sooner the new regulations come in the better - the WRC needs a shot in the arm, very quickly!
Interestingly, my brothers said that Rally Argentina had been mentioned on Sky Sports News - which is unusual. They then said about Maradona's trip with Loeb - just sums up the WRC, doesn't it?

Really? The highlight of Rally Argentina was Loeb giving a soccer player a little ride-along.....

and you have never made a single mistake in life???

Yes the WRC is currently in a bit of a sorry state but what do you want Conrad to do... stop and say 'na, I don't deserve these points...'

Don't be daft... he drove to finish, to gain experience and maanged to keep his nose clean... unlike the others! He's a fast learner and will get better!

WRC is dead.
