Sordo !
Can he beat Loeb and Marcus and became world champ ? I must say that I was impressed by his performace in Montecarlo Was it because it was a tarmac event ?

For me, if the conditions were of the ones of the "normal" monte with snow and ice, probably he won´t be there.
He has shown once again that is really fast on tarmac, but I think he can´t beat the two masters yet.If everything seems under control, you´re just not going fast enough.

Yep he still needs more speed on gravel, as the second half of last year showed. That comes with experience though, but don't think it will take him that long.
But as long as Seb is still there, he won't be aheadIf the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

I guess we have to wait for Sweden to know more about this then For sure having Citroen such drivers, it will be difficult for Ford to win the title again...me thinks

I don't think it'll be that hard for Ford. They have 2 mature drivers ready to deliver in EVERY event.
While Sordo is a great asset and one to watch for the future I don't think he can challenge yet. Maybe on tarmac but he'll be held back.
I really like the bloke and he has my full support but he's not ready yet!!_______aivan a.k.a. psilocybe________

On every tarmac rally(including Ireland!!!) Sordo can beat everyone driving something else than a C4, I believe !! :

Dani is quite possibly one of the future stars of WRC. He reminds a bit of Loeb, who above all was first a tarmac specialist, but in a few years learned to drive magnificently on gravel as well. I think Sordo can follow the same pattern. It's still only his second season in WRC and his progress so far has been pretty impressive. The goal of this season is to find consistency to drive the whole season well (last year he faded a bit in the second half of the season). This season Dani might score a win (probably on tarmac), but next year Sebastien better watch out for him very carefully.

i think Sordo will definitely beat Loeb on one of the Tarmac rally this year (without team orders of course...) he has to improve a lot on gravel me think...

It will be interesting to follow Sordo's performance here in Portugal. Don't forget that he was there last year when has driven the Citroën Xsara as zero car and if I'm not wrong in 2005 it came with The Citroën C2 S1600, so in theory he is in front of his opponents
