Sebastien Loeb vs..... - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Damn you Carlos Sainz!

It is easy to say that for Finnish people who try to find a works seat with help of other Finnish drivers but for a Spaniard that was impossible, but at least he won two WRC titles, isn'it?, but please try to find other words for your comments, kiitos

Maybe for the past few years Mikko, JML, Ogier were Loeb's most serious opponents.

But this year only Petter can do it. Let's not forget he did it before.

In fact, to this day he's the only one who can claim: 'I became World Champion while competing against Loeb!'

**Kiliunjubl** · 04-28-2012, 03:30 PM

This is more dominating than Schumacher was, I usually follow a rally by looking at the stage times until Loeb leads by 20seconds or the Ford manu team crashes, which means end of rally for me.

Its been pass due Sordo arrived at Ford though, he should get a seat with them and ditch BMW, he has the consistency to get manu points and challenge Mikko + Loeb on tarmac. Malcolm gets him because of his record of consistency, which somehow is better than the current two official drivers. Not saying he is as fast as Latvala and Ogier, but base on his demeanor after leaving Citroen he doesn't seem to be effected by the Rubinho syndrome.

.

In the Ferrari/Shoe days he was the only one capable of winning (and perhaps Hakinen if he was lucky). Meanwhile in the WRC there was Gronholm, Makinen, Mcrae, Burnsy, Sainz....THAT was real competition. Nowadays in WRC there is only one winner, and F1 has a different winner for each event so far this season...How the tables turn!

Do you guys think there is any correlation between Loeb's dominance and declining viewer figures (if they are declining that is, I am not sure myself) or is it something else?

It is possibly one of many reasons. However, to be blunt, it just isn't a very good series. A fantastic sport, but let down by various stake holders.

Séb took part this weekend on French Porsche Cup in Pau in his own team's car. Saturday he was 1st on qualifying, then won the first race in the evening, and finally today he won the 2nd race as well. Respect.

Very impressive he was as well, especially last night - he pulled out 0.9 sec lead after the first lap, on cold tyres. Great to see him in a proper car, and running his own team. Think his future is in GT/LMP cars.

**offinoNem** · 05-14-2012, 05:37 AM

it would be a pity if such a guy with his talent and experience doesn't devote in finding new talent or developing them for rallying after he is done...

he can race in track ladyboy sports in his spare time.

I hear its something fun to do .....

when you're old and worn out.

I did moto-cross till my 30s then all worn out did rally till mid 40s..
I turned 59 a few months ago and I had a thought about "Hmmmmmmmm maybe a road course..."

Senility!

**Kiliunjubl** · 05-27-2012, 03:36 PM

That's the end of WRC 2012 season for me, I'll check back next year. This one is double face palm for the Ford team.

And me, I'll still watch NORF but thats about it for me for this season.

**JackieC** · 05-27-2012, 05:41 PM

What kind of rally fans you two are?

**yahyynzer** · 05-27-2012, 05:51 PM

So I expect you both to not post on this forum anymore this year?

**yahyynzer** · 05-27-2012, 06:37 PM

At least there's a progression, this time one of the Fords survived to the beginning of the last day

What Slowson said!

Mate, I've tried not following anymore. I cant do it, WRC is too infectious!

Anyway you'd miss me too much(like a hole in the head

) if I left

Also, the trash talk here is much funnier

**offinoNem** · 05-28-2012, 02:32 AM

F1 is better... go there...
