Well 2 stages gone, and Loebs nearly 45 seconds ahead of Hirvonen... if he doesn't make a mistake, they are going to walk this.

Thinking of the rest of the season, bar maybe Finland or some gravel rallies, can anyone stop Loeb. Is it a problem of quality in the WRC now when he's so dominant?

this year will be a particularly easy one for Seb, Hirvonen and Latvala have a great car, but they look still too immature to fight for the title, although they can fight for good places and some victories..

Man I miss SPEED'S rally coverage. O/T but wouldn't it be great if they brought back the old Group B car's and say did like a 6 race serie's around the world in different stadium's such as the ROC ?

I am not too happy that Loeb will dominate this year. In WRC I go for Ford. Always have except when Lancia was in it but then again even then Ford was my second favorite team. With Grohlm Ford cannot win even the Constructors title this year or it will be hard. Grohlm should of won the drivers championship last year when he had the chance but instead choose to do a Lewis Hamilton job in the last few rallies.

Btw I also follow the European Rally championship (ERC), the European Rallycross Championship, the International Rally Challenge (IRC), Italian Rally Championship (CIR), the Swedish Rallycar Championship and the Swedish Rallycross Championships. With this sort of stuff I am usually interested in the history and past winners. Can anyone assist me with finding all the past rally champions (and the cars they drove) for the Swedish Rally championship? (This isn't the WRC round in Sweden its the actual Swedish independent championship).

Btw here are the useful websites I go for these championships if any follows of the sport are interested.

ERC : http://www.ercrally.com/
European Rallycross Championship : http://www.erc24.com
IRC : http://www.ircseries.com
CIR : http://www.nuvolari3000.com (Has other stuff as well like F1, WTCC, WTC etc and only in Italian.)
Swedish Rallycar Championship : http://www.rally-src.se/ (In swedish only)
WRC : http://www.rally-live.com/wrc/

And for me its Forza Ford, Saab and Fiat in whatever championship in the above these cars are in.

I love rallies, even taken part in a couple round where i used to live. But the WRC just hasn't been the same since the teams went privateer.

There is no doubt that Loeb is an artist behind the wheel, but I also think that there seems to be a lack of world class tallent for him to compete against.

Pradictability = boring
