You are rude man please calm down.
thanks
I see the N.O.T. fan club are here again! How is he so popular???
Well, he isn't 'cause his bluntness upsets most people. But to give N.O.T credit, he is right more often than he is not (which isn't that hard because most silly season rumors are made up by people who wish things to be so).Quote:

It happens with people who are always right.
the fact that you know him personally and the fact that he does what he loves does not exclude him from the tourist with sunglasses class... i doubt any one doing rallying is there out of boredom so everyone loves it but the skill level differs.Quote:

I would have like to have seen how Hanninen would have driven in a full works DS3 rather than a fiesta full of recycled parts or an i20 in a development year.
or perhaps even a 2 car team with Mikkelsen at VW.
No problems NOT I understand, and I just merely asked the question if he is a tourist or gentleman.... Is he one of the good tourists in the sport or would some prefer him to give opportunities to younger drivers as he has done in the past i.e. Neuville.Quote:

N.O.T.
you rock man.
you should have a dedicated thread for yourself too.........
seriously as, your opinions are damn blunt

I do not think my opinions are blunt, they are based on pure logic, no emotional stuff and no compulsive obsessive disorders with the sport that lead to blunt remarks. So i think you are wrong.Quote:

I think it has to do more with the fact that the car manufacturers that are involved in rallying have as a target market the european nations to sell their cars... so they prefer drivers local to europe to use as promoters on their respective markets. A driver from another continent doesn't have much of commercial value to them.Quote:

Then again, most of the WRC rounds are in Europe.Quote:

Battling or even beating them can rise the brand's prestige to a new heights and frankly the conservative western European market is a lot about prestige.
I think there may be a "lost in translation" thing going on here.Quote:

Others who don't have the benefit of being bank rolled choose where to go fast when the car feels like it will be fast. They set a fastest stage time or two, then get to the finish if the car doesn't seem to be suiting their style.
I suppose that its easier to teach someone to slow down, then it is to speed up. :)
I'm sure that given the opportunity there are people quicker then Ogier out there (as impossible as that may seem). They may not even have heard of rallying. After all there are 5 billion people in the world and less then 1% of them with the funds required to even get into rallying in the first place. Just food for thought.
well you can expand this thought to every profession imaginable... it doesn't mean anything.Quote:

Well so far he's doing 1/1 at Monte. Perhaps you could bring your arrogance down a notch?Quote:

Loeb maybe found out that going round in circles wasn´t that fun it seemed?
he was always doing track events, he just wants to have fun in a rally car once again.Quote:

Can't say I'm surprised. The WTCC is hardly a huge challenge - FWD saloon cars, with races over 20-30 minutes. Might be different if it was a 6/12/24 hour race in a 450BHP Sportscar.Quote:

you mean that Ogier and polo/vw with double budget is not competition for him?Quote:

so we saw who is faster and better overall,even when he was retired.
At previous years there is no question as you know.
LOL So much posts,tweets and news about it and some declare it a big comeback. It's will be an one off just to enjoy some competition in january. He will continue in WTCC, why would he return to WRC?
Loeb gave them too many beatings and most of them were on the head... so that excuses the memory loss... forgive them.Quote:
