WRC Tipping?...

[fro]

Does anyone have any tips for the WRC......

I'm thinking that:

<font color="#3333FF">Tommi</font> will win the championship. I think that the Subaru is a much easier car to drive than the Lancer, and that it's better developed, with probably better tuning range. As I said earlier, I also think that it's less daunting to drive....If that's possible for a WRCar....
<font color="#FF66CC">Richard</font> I think will do okay toward the end of the season, but I thnk that he'll struggle for the first few (4-6) events...

Anyone else care to take a punt?

My tip is Loeb, followed by Colin, with Tommi in third....Outside chance for a placing is Panizzi, who always does well in tarmac events.....

I reckon the WRC will be tight as usual with the championship not decided until the RAC.

Here is my top 3:

1) Marcus Gronholm - At the end of the 2001 he drove the pants of the Pug and if does come down to final events during the year, the 206 normally handles the conditions better.

2) Colin Mcrae

3) Richard Burns

and Peugot to win the Manufacturers Championship again.

Loeb just got a 2 minute penalty from the stewards....Apparently the Citroen Service crew changed tyres in a service where that's prohibited...

That only drops him back to second, but puts him about a minute and a half behind Makinen...He might make it back if Tommi has some problems tomorrow....We'll see...

Alternately, would be great to see Tommi win in his first outing the Suby. I think it would really show the superiority of the car, and the driver for that matter...
