Kankkunen was utterly crap on tarmac, thus far away in any kind of discussions what concerns Loeb The Great. No other comes close of beating everyone else on his way, mastering all surfaces. Just look at his win ratio. And the competition was there, he just demolished them in a way that everybody thinks the opposition was weak. It wasn't. Without him you would praise Grönholm as the best ever. He demolished him. Period.
My post was an aswer to this:
2) He won 9 titles, and before him the driver who won more title was Makinen who won less then a half and has been a bit lucky for some of them.
Just correcting that Mäkinen and Kankkunen both had 4 titles.
And that is biggest mistake of plenty of drivers - it is not only about knowing the stages. You must be prepared to go to this level. Lot of them is going to WRC events too early...
