WTF?

Hirvonen/ Loeb 196+196=392

Latvala/ Ogier 193+131=324

quite simplistic thought....

If you take into account the times Latvala cause problems to himself and the times Ogier cause trouble to himself and compare it with those times Loeb and Hirvonen hit trouble because of mistakes then Citroen might not even sweat to win the manufacturer tilte.....

If of course all that Blah Blah Blah from the journalists are true.

And then if you take away all the "fake" points Loeb and Hirvonen has?

Loeb got 1 fake point and Hirvonen 9 fake so -10 points for Hirvonen/Loeb and +10 for Ogier/Latvala

not much difference at the end....

...LOL

Thanks for that news Pluto, the google translation from Czech to English is very amusing - Rossetti comes out as Lucy not Luca (Luke in English!!)
So it's not just WRC customers who get second class equipment at first class price - Why would anyone hire a car from M-Sport! However, it would be interesting to see what times Ott could do in Sousa's car without any modifications (the old Ronnie Peterson trick)

Yes useful at driving the team truck maybe?

According to ALM Rally, Russian driver Nikita Filipov will drive PWRC. He may drive an Impreza from URT.

It's utterly annoying to read still the same s*h*i*t about Wilson, Hirvonen, Block and actually about 90% of drivers who ever were so impudent that they drove WRC car.

Don't write that word with * 'cos I got infraction for word crap and everyday I can read it here again.

Please.. Use instead your time to acquire some knowledge and common sense. Those little girls need someone to look up to. And you're still posting like a 12 year old.
