I think you can put Loeb in any of the cars and the result would be similar. He is just THAT good. :mark:

Okay guys seriously, Sordo has problems. He just dropped 21,8 seconds!

He is good, no doubt about that but until he's actually driven something other than Citroen in competition, I don't discount the Tommi-factor.

yessss! loeb is pulling away stadily!

will be interesting to see wich tactic ford now uses...

ok, so Pg wasnt allowed to start beacause he didnt have a front bumper???

He really wasn't??

I can't hear the radio due all the vacuuming..

ok sorry, my bad :)

That´s it..! Loeb is in the other series than the rest of the drivers... If Mikko and J-M are not able to beat Loeb on the snow, it is clear that Sebastien will win all the events during the year 2009...

I've always supported Mikko, and kinda believed in Jari-Matti, but...
I wish Marcus was here to kick Loeb's a$$...

Probably, but Sordo is also fast and Ogier is not that bad too. Who had expected Sordo in the top 4 after 11 stages?
I think no one.

I still think he can't win all the events this year. My opinion is that Hirvonen and Latvala have a chance in Greece, Finland and Australia.

Just tell her you love her everyday and you feel that she's too precious to you for you to sell out to commercialism and buy flowers and take her out for a romantic meal :p

That's about the only record he's yet to break (except being youngest WRC winner).

Why am I thinking that's not a joke? ;)

I do not understand...

I do not think that Loeb improved on snow during the last year. He was already fast always and everywhere - no question!

I also do not think that Jari Mattis speed worsened in the last year...

...moreover I do not think that Hennings speed on snow is slower than Sordos.

...so it must have to do something with the car - at least to a certain extent.

Ogier is missing.. and like I said.. there is advantage to be first on the road in the morning. The first is driving like on tarmac.. every next car has more and more loose snow. Should see good times by Jari-Matti in afternoon.

Yes he can and easily.. If Ford uses some tactics in loose surface gravel events results will be different, but it does not matter. In the real fight he is much better than the current drivers. But he is not competing anymore in 2020? and then there is great battle in the top...

Henning doesn't drive the top spec ford.

1 Citroën is a very special car. I hope it is a legal car! :dozey:

Ogier had some problems, he was late at TC11 and got 30sec penalty for that. Maybe that problem caught up with him.

Urmo Aava sounds completely depressed :eek:

In my opinion there is just a really minor difference. The 2008 evolution was no step forward.

...Mikko's words to the evolutions in the 2008 spec. "The evolution was the press release"

Wrong!!! Today every next car has more ice under the wheels then yesterday. If I have listened well on the radio after SS 10. ;)

He should, he is losing out to Matt W.

Give the championship 2009 to Loeb and lets start 2010 now. :p

Best post today. :rotflmao:

Halvis and JFL if you're here - look at the first thread and admit I was right please!

I believe words like 'Petter for P3' and 'No way Sordo wil be faster' and 'Always quicker than his older brother' were spoken. Seems I was right all along...
