...give in with Rallying.

Stayed up last night to watch it, purposely avoiding web and news articles, just to see my hero in action again.

Was doing well until two wrong tyre choices. How many have these been done with Loeb?? (or was it the fact Colin was not in the know about those tyres?)

Then, electrical failure on the last stage! :( That ever happened to Loeb?? I doubt it.

Being his fan kills me everytime. Can't imagine how pissed he must get with everything breaking around him (even if he's not to blame!)

100% agree, Its the only rally I have looked forward to watching the coverage of all year - lets just hope they give him the chance again in Aus.

Apparently in Autosport it says he will have the rest of the season. :luxhello:

BUT...not if gronholm wins the next one. Bet loeb will be back behind the wheel, one armed.

I think the difference is the Loeb knows the team, his mechanics probably a lot better than Colin. For a first outing and and having to write pace notes from scratch it wasn't a bad effort. Just a shame about the electrical failure, but looking at the weather and the stages I'm not too surprised really. I think he did enough to get another go and in Australia he knows the stages so he may surprise. Remember it was only last year in a Skoda that he nearly won their first WRC event.

Patience is needed

I've got plenty of that being an avid fan.

lOOking forward to Oz already. The WRC has come alive again now. Just need to show them finns how to drive :) (aimed at my finnish friends!!)

I've just found out that I'm not gonna be able to get to RallyGB, take this as a surefire indicator the McRae will be driving! :rolleyes: :D

im an avid mcrae fan fan.shame about the result but it would be interesting to see how they get on in Oz.watch the ticket sales fly through the roof if his doing rallygb.

I might even have to cancel a good friends wedding just to see him in action if that's the case. :norty:

no colin in OZ
kronos have droped him and nominated pons and sordo for points.

I hope they both finish outside the points then and ford wins the manufacturers !!!! :razz:

yep that does suck, he did so well last year in a bad car (come on Ford)

Shame that he just couldn't have driven anyway in the third car.

Still think it would be a great idea to give him a run in GB if Loeb's arm isn't upto it

We can live in hope :)

Do you think Citroen will run a third car in oz

According to wrc.com kronos citroen have lost some of their sponsorship and so there will be no 3rd car in oz

Its a big shame, but i feel we may of seen the last of McRea in the WRC.
He need a big performace in Turkey, and it was bad luck with the weather conditions. I hope iam wrong and we see him again soon.

Is that right? Confirmed??

his luck is almost, not quite, as bad as Solbergs

Give Solberg a good car and he will beat Loeb

Is that right? Confirmed??

Confirmed - 2 cars Sordo & Pons :(

even when car works he finds rocks in the middle of the road or a car crash's into him between stages

Yeah that rock in Turkey, was dragged on to the stage by his brother. Thats bad luck. Still nice to see a solberg on the podium.

Confirmed - 2 cars Sordo & Pons :(

Yep, just seen the BBC link. What a load of ****! He'd of done big things in Oz. He was ahead of one (can't remember) of them in Turkey before the failure too, first outing.

I felt like that was his last chance. Come on Gronholm & Ford then. Stick it up ya'z Kronos!!! :hjtwofing

Dose any one rate dani sordo, iam not sure hes worth the second works seat next year. Dont think hes got the pace on gravel.
