That still didn't make him faster than Loeb.

so you are claiming citroen never asked ogier to slow down to let loeb win because loeb was always faster?

sometimes i think people have actually forgotten why ogier preferred to drive a season in a s2000 car instead of driving a wrc next to loeb.

People do forget there were some close seasons when Loeb won the title. Also remember the fact that Ford M-Sport won two Manu titles beating Citroen.

People who? I don't see anyone forgetting that. Anyone with a minimal knowledge of recent WRC seasons knows that.

You have a comprehansion problem. First of all I have never claimed Loeb was always faster. Secondly Ogier being few times faster doesn't mean he was the faster driver of the two in that time. Simple as that.

world hunger is the reason we have normal lives.... in nature someone has to suffer in order for someone else to prosper.

Beat them once when they weren't even a proper manufacturer team and then again when they introduced a brand new car. I'd argue the second Manu title was more valuable than the first (against Citroen, not Kronos) but it's disputable, if not a little likely, Ford had the advantage in 06 and 07.

Just an impression I get whenever Loeb is mentioned... like he and Citroen were winning with virtually no contest.

He and they were great, but Gronholm, Latvala and Hirvonen certainly kept them honest. Watching them in action the speed difference wasnt much... they were all world class.
