I'm downloading the coverage, now...

It's funny how IE and I were talking about how Loeb makes no mistakes and BAM! He slides off the road. He blamed the pace notes. Last year I remember saying how Ferrari's reliability has been awesome and Schu gets a bad engine blowout at Suzuka.

Hmmm...looks like this thread didn't last very long...

Well, the 2007 season is over. Loeb won the Driver's Championship (the battle went down to the last race!) & Ford won the Manufacturer's Championship.

HS, what do you think of Loeb? I don't mind a driver dominating, but Loeb has always annoyed me. Maybe it's his personality. I thought it was fine when Makkinen won four in a row.

I don't mind Loeb, really. Although, I like Gronholm's personality better...I was hoping he'd be able to get his 3rd championship before he retired.

Personnaly i like them both very much, Loeb is ******* good driver, what he acheived is just awesome, wether in WRC or le mans, even the test he did with RF1 was really impressive and the guy is very humble. I also have always liked Marcus the Warrior and i was hoping he would get the title before retirement but i am not sad that loeb got it. But what annoys me the most right now is the future of WRC itself, cause it really seems that the series is going to die thanks to the complete incomptence of the FIA and the unability of the constructors to unite their power and defend efficiently their intersts, and also don't forget the new S2000 series.
