Is Loeb the greatest rally driver ever? If not then who is?
Is Loeb the greatest rally driver ever? If not then who is?
He is. And that's official
He's the most winningest rally driver ever. And if that makes him the greatest, so be it.
But he's still alive.
Sainz + Moya
Juha Kankkunen
Has anyone of these even made record breaking run on Pike's Peak?
>tfw you'll never see Loeb competing in Group B
isn't Pikes Peak hillclimb and not rally
He has the most wins and I like him, but I can't place anyone but the group B drivers as the greatest rally drivers of all time
Ari Vatanen's record was only broken when they paved part of the hill climb
Isn't hillclimb a subtype of rally? Like you can have rally hillclimbs?
Pikes peak became associated with rally after the group B ended and the drivers went on to tackle the climb on group B cars. Back then it was all dirt, I don't consider it similar to rallying nowadays since the entire course is now asphalt
He's good, but his competition has been sub-par.
But even that can't take away the fact he's a nine-time World Champion, thats fucking amazing desu
>win everything because all the real competition quit or was regulated out
>GREATEST OF ALL TIME
>WE WILL SUCK YOUR DICK FOREVER MORE, MONSIEUR LOEB
kill yourselves
not really, they're different motorsports
>all the real competition
who ?
Subaru
Mitsubishi
Peugeot
the gooks and FWD shitboxes don't count
I think he meant competition in terms of drivers.
in 2002 (loeb's first season in WRC)
Markus Gronholm
Carlos Sainz
Colin McRae
Richard Burns
Tommi Makinen
Petter Solberg
in 2009
Sebastien Loeb
Mikko "I grenade engines like ISIS grenades Baghdad" Hirvonen
22 other has-beens
Both correct. The competition dropped way off the last few years desu. All the star names retired or moved on
>B-But muh Group B...
>M-Muh real machines driven by men and not boys
>M-Muh obstructing crowds

'rally' is just racing set points, called 'stages'. it has nothing to do with whether it's dirt or asphalt
the monte carlo rally would be a rally that's set on a mountain pass
