To each his own, I guess. Personally, I didn't enjoy the old days where a driver was able to use his superior start position to, through keeping track of split times, drive just fast enough to maintain a comfortable lead.

Mind you, that was when Loeb started to dominate. Maybe that's why it started to seem a bit monotonous!

the thing is that all the top drivers had that superior position not just some of them, so its just came to driver skill to maintain the postion they had, if they are so good that that they can handle the competition so easily so be it. Why give a disadvantage to the best guy ?? its unfair and not "sport". Keeping things equal is what sports should be about (very narrow weight classes in boxing for example).

As for Loeb, the guy has dominated for 8 years now, no matter starting orders, car regulations, recce regulations, tyre regulations so i doubt it was the strting order rules that started it.

I like the best man to win, no matter if it is monotonous or not.
