2011 World Rally Championship

[mohammad2011]

Sebastien Loeb is No.1 and he is better driver than Petter Solberg, Colin McRae, Ken Block and Jonas Andromeda.

I must say I dont like Oigier, he acts like old Seb but he isnt... Loeb acts much more like an adult I think and thats why I respect him more... But I have to say, I fancy the most our Czech drivers, such as Kresta, Kopecký, Valoušek... or Pech, who kicked-ass those S2000 with N4 Mitsubishi in Czech champ few times... hmm, maybe Pech is really my no.1

 

[Senad Subasic]

Ogier needs some *****-slapping.

I wasn't into racing when Colin McRae was around, but when I watched videos of him, the way he worked those pedals amazed me.

I can't say he's my favorite since I've never followed him, but he's the most talented in my opinion. Sebastien Loeb being the most successful.

My favorite would have to be Ken Block, just because I'm american. He's humble and taking the series just one race at a time trying to learn it. He makes a mistake, he doesn't blame anyone and tries to learn from it. I know he's not the fastest but he never claims to be the best. It's a learning experience for him.
and i like the Ford Abu Dhabi team, too

 

[mohammad2011]

When Marcus Gronholm, Juha Kankkunen, Jonas Andromeda, Travis Pastrana and Tommi Mäkinen will return to WRC?

 

[Sebastien Levret]

Definitively Sébastien Loeb !

Wales Rally GB 2011 - Pictures

I managed to get close enough to share some of the action with you guys. At the moment I'll just put some photos on here until I've edited my video clips.

All the pictures are from the ceremonial start to Wales Rally GB held in Conwy on the quay (10/11/11).

Enjoy! (Apologies for the poor quality of some of the pictures)

 

[Chris Butcher]

I have some pictures and vidoes fro, SS1 & 2 at the Great Orme to put up

 

[Dan Smith]

Here is the best of the videos I got from the Orme. (Turn the sound up)

Sebastien Loeb crashed between stages with Spanish driver

http://www.wrc.com/video/browse-all...srch_rallyid=&srch_teamid=-1&srch_driverid=-1

Poor Spaniel, he tried to avoid Loeb to the right, but Loeb made the same move (like true English guy ) and they got hit. But it is nice to see Loeb not angry on him, as he even mentioned Spaniel was crying after that, but Loeb doesnt mind - he is champion anyway.

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

Haha, what a gentleman Loeb!

Unbelieavable driver, best rally driver the world has ever seen and probably will see for a good while.

 

[Dan Smith]

The guy sure does have some skills!

 

[Warren Dawes]

It's an amazing record, and even more impressive when you consider that one tiny mistake in Rallying can be disasterous.
His performances stand against some of the best Racing Drivers in history, not just in Rally, and I doubt his career is even close to finished yet. The records will continue to grow. ray:
