No, Mikkelsen was slow as snail last year. This year, 2 first stages, he has not proved he is any faster. Whether it be the car, the setup, the man or the tyres. He has to prove that he can drive again. Loeb does not. Loeb was not slow as snail all year last season.
Loeb and Mikkelsen are only 2 cars with same tire choice. Their times are very similar. Others are on different tires so hard to compare against them. How hard is it to understand?
I'm not too fussed, but maybe there is room and demand for a dedicated Rallycross forum? I guess Rally Raid and Baja can go in international rallying for the amount of posts it gets.
