    Loeb said he would stop WRC if S2000 is without turbo and other extra's. As I understood it the 2010 S2000 will only be the now excisting cars, so Loeb will seek other trils instead of rally. Doing the Asian Le Mans Series with the 1000 km of Mount Fuji (1 november) and the 1000 km of Shangaï (8 november) would be a perfect start of the new career. Loeb will do a number of test with the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, so jumping in the car would be easy.
    Loeb>Pescolrol>Peugeot>2009 I say very plausable

    Why? a new fresh start wil be good for rally and WRC. New cars and other names on the top spot of the podium. Loeb has seen everything in rally world, he has won everything in rally world. Let him conquere the circuits. It will make his rally wins even more valuable when he proves he is indeed the god of tarmac (and gravel and snow).

    But it won't be the same without Super Seb

    I really hope he changes his mind,I'm a huge fan of his (and one of a very small group of fans in this forum )

    Can you really say you're the best if you know the best one is somewhere else?

    I am also a big fan of Loeb, but also a big fan of rallysport. And rallysport needs a new input of interest. Not for who will become second to Loeb, but different drivers challenging really for a win and not for the best man to profit when Loeb has a failure or makes a misatake.
    Without Loeb Chris Atkinson and Dani Sordo would have wins to their name, so would Subaru be a winner again and maybe still in WRC.

    Because I am a fan of Loeb, I want him to have fun inside a car, and not being bored because he won everyhing everytime around. Let Loeb have fun again in Le Mans and maybe the Dakar rally. He could be teammate with Marcus Gronholm in the Dakar rally.

    Being a rallying, and Le Mans fan, i can not wait.
    Just been scratching my head. As any WRC world champion, ever won at Le Mans. I can not rember if McRae won his class or not.

    Totally agree.

    Okey, he brought the sport kind of a rountine. But, he had lots of impacts on the sport for its development. Think of the other side, if he weren't that famous guy, then Do you think the manufacturers other then Citroen could upgrade themselves in order to cope with this untouchable man?

    I also consider the issue in terms of sport and agree upon the fact that sport is losing its ground, but this is nothing to do with Seb, but something that FIA and other authorities should take precaution. For instance, adding extra handicup to the top cars to make the competition more charming. Just like it is the case in WTCC.
