All that testing has made the car virtually unstoppable. Miko lacks leadership skills and there is no one in Ford who is fast enough to go fast enough all season. I honestly wish Novikov could win this year, but it most likely won't happen. |

Loeb's entering for only 4 rally's plus VW entering the sport has me atleast intrigued. Volkswagen looks to be a well-put together team and I think Ogier has the best chance out of all the drivers of winning the title. Ford's talent went elsewhere and no longer has the backing of the manufacturer. Novikov may surprise in a few rally's. Prodrive opted out this year it seems. Hyundai has revealed that it plans to enter into the 2014 season. This post has been edited by RalliKai on Jan 18 2013, 02:41 PM |

But he doesn't have the magic as a person; like was for example Burns, Makinnen, Sainz, Liatti, KKK, etc - The second place of Ogier was not a surprise he will fighting this years for the championship (if the polo R doesn't brake) - I hope that that this year Sordo can finally win a rally. He has a few years rallying and don't have any wins. Just a few second places. - Wilson made a bad choice on his drivers line-up on his Team. It would be good to have Petter Solberg helping the young ones (cause Novikov, Ostberg and Neuville are quiet unexperience in rallyng) - If Latvala continous to crash in rallying (especially as a second driver of VW) that wil cost him a lot and will be ending his carrear. Latvala has the potentional to be a champions that's for sure, but needs to demostrate more confidence in rallying I'm waiting to may to go the rally Argentina This post has been edited by Pipenocl on Jan 20 2013, 07:31 PM |

It seems all he needs to do now is breath on the stage and he wins. Can't say I'm fond of the new regs or required cars. It comes off as if they're trying to mimic F1, all the while lacking any real sponsorship or coverage as the sport fades into obscurity. |

1985, 1995, 1999, 2006 or 07. All were pretty competitive seasons with interesting twists. Plus you get abit of each era. Group B, Grp A and WRC. | ||

Hopefully this makes for a more interesting constructors race. http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/january-201...42--12-12-.html

Have to admit, I like what I see and hear. The cars definitely look faster all around than last year. An extra 80 horses and Active Diff have made quite a difference. Still don't really like them all being subcompact hatchbacks but they look alittle more distinct from each other compared to previous years.
