Silly Season 2015

[liposh]

Knowing way of Prokop´s thinking he will never return to WRC2. He will drive WRC as long as possible. One day in far future when he will not find budget for whole season in WRC he will do only few events in WRC per year with some training in czech one-day events or something like that.

I have a secret power....

It is called common sense... if people would use it more and act their age the world would be a better place.

We are talking about a 40 year old guy... Yes he has won the most titles but to talk about a return to the sport is a bit far fetched, a decision like that would only spoil his reputation...

Fixed that for ya.

so who was your favourite driver that Loeb ridiculed and degraded to a garbage roaming dog barking for a few table scraps ? the list is long of course and spans a lot of years but the answer is easy in your case.

Probably Kankkunen. 4 titles with 3 different manufacturers. Loeb would never have dared to leave Citroen, and faced practically no competition for 5 of his 9 titles, after Gronholm retired.

Why would he leave the best team ? who would have done that ? who ever did that ? who would leave a working environment that provides him with money and success ? Are you guys "special" ?

Little boys who will never grow up just because you do not like the best of all times...

and in the words of Floyd mayweather senior... Not this time not that time... but of aaaaall times...

just to settle in, in your little frozen hearts... it hurts more this way.

I would say the guy who wants new challenges. But the guy we´re talking about wouldn´t dare. He´d make same amount of money, I´m sure, but as said challenge too big for his ego.

Can you name a person in any kind of job who quits his company to join an inferior one just for the challenge ? you guys are from earth right ?

^ I agree. It's not like Kankunnen was quixotic person looking to spread his talents to different teams. The circumstances at the time pushed him to join new teams every now and then.

Also, you can't really compare the two eras because of the respective number of available works teams in each. In Loeb's prime (let's say 2007 for argument's sake), he realistically only had three teams he could join (Citroen, Ford, Subaru). And in 2009, he only had two teams he could join (Subaru dropped out). Meanwhile, when Kankunnen won his final WRC title in 1993, he could have joined 5 different teams (Toyota, Lancia, Ford, Subaru, Mitsubishi) with a semi-realistic chance of winning.

Valentino rossi did that.

Ostberg was testing the upgraded ds3 today, seems that he drives a ds3 next year then.

No he did not... he was after the money. Ducati even cancelled their factory support to sbk to pay his salary...
