If you cant take it dont give it kid
This. It's just hype, and its not just for XGames. He's trying to get a big name over in the states so that more American eyes begin to look at this wonderful sport, whether it be rallycross or stage. They see they cars, they go to youtube, fans are born. How exactly is that a bad thing? USA is a HUGE untapped market for this sport, and people outside the states just hate; ironically calling American's arrogant, stupid.... blah blah blah. Look in a ****ing mirror.Quote:

Is loeb a better driver? NO ****. Is TP a bad driver? Drink a glass of objectivity and get back to us.
TP wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence.
Quite useless info actually. First because IQ tests really don't show how smart someone is. Secondly, education systems differ in countries.Quote:

Agreed but I wasn't referring to IQ within the context of a quantitative test, but simply making a point that he is quite intelligent. And attacking someones intelligence with blatant prejudices, primarily based on ignorant perceptions of their culture/country, is bigotry at its finest. Always find it ironic when someone slams an individuals intelligence, bit of a paradox.Quote:

First of all I'm neither European nor American, so you could say that I'm unbiased.
Now, why do you guys resent the GRC so much? Why is "European Rallycross = good; American Rallycross = bad"? Most of the accusations towards the GRC seem to be directed at the lack of talent of the drivers in the GRC. Who exactly are the European Rallycross Master Legend Champions? You accuse Travis Pastrana of "hyping" the series AS IF that's a bad thing. Newsflash: hype is what draws public interest to the sport. It's what attracts sponsors, teams and drivers. If the whole body of FIA managed to create half the hype that Pastrana manages to create for the GRC, then maybe the WRC wouldn't be slowly fading into insignificance... isn't the lack of adequate promotion what you guys are ALWAYS complaining about anyway? I find it refreshing to see the Americans actually putting in some effort to make their series successful. It's more than we can say about FIA towards the WRC.
I am truly laughing my ass off at the comments such as "Loeb would never play the fool like McRae did". Who's the fool now? Gronholm seems to recognize the potential in the series, and now apparently so does Loeb. I personally will be counting the days until I can see Gronholm and Loeb going head to head again. And I will be rooting for Gronholm :)
You guys sound like a bunch of old ladies who are way past their prime and never managed to find a man to love, and who are now all bitter and resentful towards younger women who are falling in love for the first time. Give me a ****ing break.
