Sordo !

[Davide78]

I agree with who wrote that on dry tarmac Sordo is very fast but he has to grow a lot on gravel, as the end of last season confirms.

I also add that also his capabilty to front the attack of other drivers has to grow. He's very fast when he's attacking and who is after him is far but when he's object of an attack of another driver he suffers a crisis...for instance, Finland 2006...

I think he's young, so he has time enough to grow in the perfect way to became one of the best and most complete future WRC drivers.

I think he has shown he is fast and he has adapted very well to the new car, but he needs time to beat Loeb or Gronholm on other surfaces. Experience counts a lot when driving on snow and gravel he doesn't have it yet.

I think he will be as good as Hirvonen and Atkinson when their time to be on front comes.

A little reminder....Loeb was French G R A V E L champion......by no means he was considered a tarmac specialist.

Actually, he entered the French gravel rally championship in order to gain more experience on this type of surface. Loeb always felt more comfortable on tarmac and still does (the only driver who could really challenge Seb on dry tarmac was Markko Martin).

I believe that Sordo can beat Loeb, but I am afraid that management will not allow a French driver in a French car on French tyres be beaten. A bit like bein Schumacher's team mate.

Duval was at least equal to Martin - so there were 2 and now there are also 2 (Sordo and Duval)

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

including Ireland? Maybe there they have snow at that time!

He will be a flash in the pan like last year..........big start then very litle alter

[Josti]

I agree, impressive drive of Sordo. On asphalt he's far, but I don't see him beating Loeb, Grönholm or even Solberg that fast on gravel or snow. But who knows how things will turn out. We don´t even now how competitive the C4 will be on other surfaces. If he wins a rally soon, he could be the youngest ever to do so.

You gotta be kidding. Duval wasn't equal to Martin on tarmac nor on gravel at all...

Sordo has no chances to be in Top 6 in Sweden & Norway. On gravel he could get Top 4-5 positions only in such rallies where are very low level of WRC cars, like in Mexico, Argentina and Japan. On tarmac he can win a rally this year but only if Loeb has some problems.
