You are right. On the other hand it's something different and new for him. You take new challenges different way than what You are used to do for years...

It does. Not for us freaks and not now but after few years nobody would look at the gaps in finish. What will remain is the results in which one is written upon the other.
Re: Rallye France Alsace 2013
one thing's certain - PSA won't allow it VW to repeat 9 in a row

he other thing The Master proves is - ain't no bad cars, but bad masters
Re: Rallye France Alsace 2013
nice news if true..
What’s the strategy for tomorrow and will there be team orders?
JC: The rally is so exciting and close that we will let them go. They both want to win the rally and we told them to do what they have to do to win. There are no team orders, they can go flat out.
YM: There’s no real plan. The only one is to try to win. Four guys are separated by five seconds. As Jost said, any of the four drivers are able to win and they have done a great weekend. Nobody can tell any of those drivers they don’t deserve to win.
Re: Rallye France Alsace 2013
Tomorrow´s the day. Loeb will prove himself the best of the best (I must admit) :cool:
BTW Pontus T is also world champion in rallying this year. Maybe at VW next?? ;)

Right now i doubt there are casual rally fans with he promotion the sport gets.... only freaks of nature and the abominations of the motorsport society... most casual motorsport fans prefer ladyboys going in circles.
I think when the gap is that small and when the battle so fierce it will take some time to forget it, just like the previous 2 times in NZ... and the fact that it is Loebs final rally will add to it.
The point is Ogier failed to dominate the only true rival he had this year so instead of picking up the torch of glory and carry on riding in the sunset like a true warrior drenched in the blood of his enemies (damn i am good !!!) he just picked up the garbage bag and moved slowly toward the garbage pit... next year his true championship race begins simply because there will be no other reference...

I was away from my computer for the whole day..picking apples from the tree :-) From time to tome was checking the reults from my phone while sitting on the branch :-)
It is raining very, very, very, very heavily on the stages right now.There will be lakes on the road tomorrow morning.
Weather will be very cold, morning temperatures will be +13..+14 and afternoo +14..+15.It should be mostly cloudy. There might be some rain on the morning stages but afternoon stages should be mostly without rain. However, without wind (1-2m/s), clouds and cold temperature there is very little chanche that somebody decides to go without soft tyres, maybe Mikkelsen :-P
