Winning an event by 2 minutes is unreal, winning an event 9 times is unreal, winning almost 75 WRC rallies is unreal.
Solberg and the rest have lots to learn from Loeb, I have always felt half of the secret to Loeb's success is his mannerism and his ability to be cool, calm and collected at ALL times. Sure he is highly motivated, but he keep's it under control.
Somebody like Solberg is like a firecracker, always high strung and on the edge and he has the results to prove it.
