2008 Rally Argentina - official thread

It's very good to see so many reactions, it's what I wanted ;)
And I got the replies I expected to receive ;p

Last thing I want to say. Why I worshipped Colin (fav driver of all time, like many others) and why Galli back in Mitsu/Pug307 times.

People bashed him for crashing too much or being too slow. They didn't understood his personality.
One of the few doing the show (as you clearly see from the video I posted in YouTube): times for him were secondary, first thing was having fun himself and giving fun to the public.
If you look at the fan club DVD, there is a logo which explains it all in the upper left side of the video.
Loeb is the opposite. And don't get me wrong, he likes to win and that's good for him and his fans. But think if there were 10+ Loebs in WRC. I wouldn't see it at all, and I wouldn't be alone.
Even his interviews are boring to hear (hundreds of times "It's looking good for us" O_o I can't hear that anymore lol).

See local rallying ? I already do ;p Targa Florio incoming btw ... Daniel you can gladly continue watching WRC (the timesheets mainly - but only when Loeb wins, otherwise you get depressed xD), everybody has their own preferences.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Don't hate the player, hate the game ;)

By not qualifying your statement, you did, intentionally or not, lump everybody at local rallies together as unskilled idiots, and I for one sure as hell don't want to be associated in any way with goons such as Ken Block which I see as the epitome of what is wrong with rally from bottom to top, while on the other hand, I would be proud to go toe to toe with the boys in Finland's F-Cup.

So you you really OUGHT TO qualify things when you slinging insults around, otherwise how are we supposed to know just who you're insulting?

And I just won a bet that you would not have the balls to apologize for speaking unthinkingly.

Did you get out of bed on the wrong side or something? :confused:

Make of my words what you want but if I didn't say it then quit your whining.

You know, this forum was starting to be boring like the one you know... now go back seeing your beloved drivers' championship standing, I watch some Immortal Champion Colin's videos :)

You replied by yourself, infact I'm trying to spice it up :p

Helstar brings up a great point.

There should be changes if spectators are left yawning and "hardcore" rally fans begin to roll their eyes. Example? Predicatble results at just about every event and silly rules (Super Rally) that make things discombobulated.

Of course BUT it's not Sebastien's fault that there seem to be no drivers that can really compete with him since Gronholm's retirement? Is it his fault that Citroen seem to prepare the best cars for just about each event? StupidRally is dumb. But this has nothing to do with Sebastien.

I like sidways as much as most others. But I don't see the point in sideways for the sake of sideways. The only reason Sebastien isn't crazy sideways all the time is that with the way the current cars are it's simply not the fast way through the stage. I'm sure if Sebastien had been around in the WRC 5-10 years earlier you'd have seen some very sideways and very fast driving from him. He's simply driving as skillfully as he can do and if that isn't exciting to watch then I'm sure you could go to a local rally where (disclaimer alert!!!!) most people are very skilled drivers and aren't idiots but on rare occasions one might by chance see an unskilled idiot who I MUST stress is not the norm on the type of event driving stupidly sideways.

I do hope that S2000+ brings some sideways action but I doubt it.......
