Marcus Gronholm retiring at the end of this WRC season

Just heard from a rallying friend in the U.K. that Marcus has just announced his retirement from rallying which is to take place at the end of this season.

In just a few years he has made his mark as both a champion driver and a top bloke so it is sad to see him retire. Hopefully all will go well for Marcus and Timo (who is also retiring) and they can retire on top by winning the WRC again this year.

Nooooooooooo.
That bloody Frenchman will have no competition and it will become a walkover.
Although with the rule changes supposedly on the horizon for next year (no mousse) it could be very interesting.
He with the cleanest line wins.

A true champion bloke and driver. Not many people retire at the top of their chosen sport. Wonder who will get his seat next year??

"Rallying has been my life for so many years and when the Monte Carlo Rally comes round in January to start next year's championship, it will feel strange not to be there. But the time is right for me to finish now. I wanted to stop while I still had the speed to win rallies. I didn't want to leave the decision too late so that I wasn't capable of winning any longer.

One of the few real characters at the top of world motorsport. A master of dry wit and subtle understatement. Post stage interviews will be less interesting without him around!
