    WRC is fun to watch because of the skill level and what they do, but there is no interest at all in who wins, because its always Loeb. WRC and NASCAR both suck right now, because its the same people winning year after year. Yes, other people need to step up and challenge Loeb and Johnson, but come on... Time for a change. #wrc

    @Tedders: IMHO, this WRC season was super close and the most entertaining in a long time.
    Loeb won on the last special of the last race: not exactly a blowout.
    I agree about NASCAR though :) #wrc

    "Sir, advance scouting indicates just two men, but at least 500 horses under their command. The leader appears to be a French mercenary of unknown sponsorship, his consort merely a navigator. I believe him to be of the rank of lieutenant based on the two chevrons he displays. I'd say we can make short work of them." #wrc

    Since WRC is no longer considered "legitimate" racing by the Comcast overlords, can anyone tell me if he's been racing against competitive veterans like Grundholm or Makinen or Soldberg? Has he earned these titles? Or was Citroen just outspending whatever rag-tag teams that were able to get into WRC the last few years? #wrc

    @Cheeseslap: Marcus Grunholm retired in 2007, but is considering a WRC comback. Tommi Makinen retired 2003. Petter Solberg tailed off badly after his 2003 WRC title; since Subaru pulled out of the WRC last year, Solberg has driven a privateer Citroen. Loeb has been consistantly and constantly chased by Ford's factory team over the last 3 years, particularly Mikko Hirvonen. But Loeb, with the help of a well run Citroen team, continues to be a step ahead. And it wasn't Comcast that killed the WRC on North American TV. It was good ol Rupert Murdoch, who bought majority control of the wonderful Speed Channel/SpeedVision and turned it into the crappy SpeedTV. #wrc

    @scroggzilla raids again: That shows me how long I've been out of the loop. I really, really missed WRC after the Speed TV switchover. I still catch highlights sometimes that make my heart skip a beat. Even my wife was hardcore into WRC for a couple of years there, back around '00. Those were the days!
    I remember Loeb being really fast and really very good in his first two-three years, but I didn't know he'd been racking up titles. #wrc

    Damn! Too bad he didn't get seriously injured. While I don't want to see Loeb die a fiery death, I do want to see him out of the WRC because I'm just sick of him winning. He's ruining my favorite sport!


    Well him and the FIA, who keep fucking it up with rule changes that are scaring away manufacturers because they can't afford to develop an entirely new car for every major change that comes along. Pick a formula and stick with it, assholes!


    I'd really like to see him go to Formula One to see if he's really as good as the world's best. After all, he does extremely well against drivers of all disciplines at the ROC every year.

    MotoGP was awesome last weekend, pity for Lorenzo, though, he did awesome.


    Oh, and 125CC was hilarious, just to see Simon's epic fail.

    So Loeb is human after all? Or was it an impostor?

    Its the helmets, right?


    I think most people around nowadays should be wearing helmets all the time anyway, so would it really be all that bad?


    Think about it: Almost no car accident fatalities and head protection for the incredibly stupid. Its perfect.
