    Usually follow the highlights but didn’t come across any this season and didn’t even know it was going on. Shame. And shame we never properly saw the two sebastiens at their peak battle it out for a whole season

    So France has claimed 16 titles since 1999? Pretty impressive.

    Far fetched but if Fca/Psa merger goes ahead who knows they won’t resurrect the Lancia brand and take it to WRC? Both companies have illustrious rally pedigree

    The lack of exposure from WRC is really sad. When I was younger and it was Mcrea, Burns, Makkinen etc I used to watch all the time on Eurosport. The new cars are an improvement over what we had the last few years but now their next rules make no sense once again.

    Neuville, Tanak, Evans are all amazing drivers.
    Don't understand this lack of interest from mass medias.

    For some reason Todt hasn´t managed to recover any interest in rallyes. The Citroen and later VW dominance didn´t help, but there has been some hard fought seasons lately.

    biggest problem for me the coverage is always so bad...top rally drivers may well be the most talented drivers of them all.

    Loeb was a monster, but Ogier won with three differents brands which is something else to my opinion.

    That is just nuts! Love seeing it again. It buggers the mind why the yonkos at ESPN, Fox Sports or the soon-to-be USA Sports wouldn't jump on some type of coverage. Most of the teams (Ford, Toyota, Hyundai) have big presence in the U.S., and just that clip alone should be enough to generate some interest in the networks. It was really popular here in Pennsylvania years ago with a round of the SCCA Pro Rally Championship in one of the state parks near Williamsport, PA. Saw John Buffum in a Quatro sideways downhill on a narrow logging road. Blew my mind.

    Funny !:p
    Not a bad comparison.


    As soon as the young Ogier started to create problems for him at Citroën, the atmosphere deteriorated seriously within the team.

    Lewis will never accept Russell by his side..

    3 more years and his record will be beaten. Who would have thought?

    Ogier will retire this year
    But no need to achieve 10 titles to know the truth. ( only my opinion again );)
