ADAC Rallye Deutschland 2013

With regards to Sordo vs Neuville argument. Looking at the whole season, Neuville was performing much better than Sordo, so in imho, he deserves this victory more than Sordo. Why I say that, given the countless rallies Sordo took part in compared with Neuville, we did not see any sign of improvment at all from Sordo. And if he is fast on asphalt, will, give him a seat on those events, and give the chance for real talents to have the seat for the rest of the calender. In general I think Sordo seat is a waste, there are alot of talented drivers deserve that seat way much more than Sordo.

On another note, does anyone know where to see the powerstage online? any links will be much appreciated.

My comparison to the Belgians waiting for a proper victory was just pointing out to you how ridiculous it is to say that someone 'deserves' a victory more, just because he's been waiting for it longer. It has nothing to do with that. And you should know that.

I have never and will never understand why people support a driver just because the person has the same nationality as yourself. It's such a weird criteria to chose IMHO.

Sordo for sure deserves a win here. Neuvilles wins will come in the future. You Belgian guys and others have to be patient about that.

If Sordo wins, it will be a big slap on Citroen's face for doing bad things to him. I'm anxiously waiting for this amazing rally finale :D

Eight years. 107 WRC starts. 20 second places. 14 third places. Always loyal to the team and Monsieur Loeb. Sacked from Citroen because of younger, faster, French driver. Went on to Prodrive Mini to develop a very fast tarmac car and drove three podium placements to them. Team ran into financial difficulties - Dani lost his seat and became victim of politics once again.

Now, at this moment, only 24,58 kilometres of Dhrontal and Thierry Neuville stand between Dani's first win. Vamos Dani!

I think even a possible win here too late for Sordo to find a seat next year. Maybe if he win France Spain which will be hard seeing VW speed here.

Sordo deserves to win here because he has been performing all his career and been second 21 times. I think that Sordo deserves it more. But still i hope Neuville wins...

You can also support almost all drivers. That is something I don't understand. :)

It's not so hard really. You're following him from his 18th year, when he drives a C2 over the limit in your own championship. Then he grows, so you keep rooting for him. And finally he delivers something. He doesn't even speak the same language as me (though he tries). But I admit that his nationality plays a certain role. "Neuville wil win many rallies..." I have a déjà-vu. The same was being said about a certain François. :)

Anyway, a bit of patriotism in sports makes it all the more interesting. Wait for World Cup 2014 :p
