Who will win WRC?

[V6.]

As it says who do you think will win WRC this year?

[V6.]

I think Leob could be the suprise winner this year, he seemed good on the experience biast snow of sweden with himself being a rookie.

And that Citroen Looks Great

[John]

I think Gronholm will win.

But I hope McRae or Burns win.

Think McRae's got a fairly good chance as long as the Citroen remains competitive on loose surfaces. Unfortunatley though I think Burns needs Gronholm to hit trouble in order to beat him.

[Ann]

I would like it to be McRae or Solberg but I think Petter is very much an outside chance unfortunately. It will be a Pug or Citroen driver & of those most likely Gronholm or McRae. I vote for Colin!

[AussieV8]

I think Burns is a good outsider.

[Claw]

For the first time in a while it's wide open, and I haven't got a clue, who will win.

Burn won't, cos he still using the old excuse, "I'm to big for the car.." nonsence.

As I don't know who will win, I hope McRae wins and beats Burns whos massivley overrated!

[Claw]

What Clawman thinks...

McRae - Started brilliantly in his Citreons, he's re motivated, could well win his second WRC Crown.
Leob - First full season, and because of that, he will start to fad, I just have a feeling he will. Will drop down the order, but not to much. No for Leob.
Gronholm - Still has the speed, can still win, but he knows the other drivers are closer to him this year, and he starting to crack. But he is a double champion and there's no reason why he won't become a 3 time title winner.
Burns - No, no, no. He hasn't won a rally since, mid to late 2001 and he's still using the same excuse for over a year. If he's as good as he think he is, he should have got used to the Pug by now. No for Burn's.
Makinen - For me, he seems to have lost his magic, he may win a rally or 2 but not the title.
Solberg - Risinbg star, hasn't started 2003 to well, but hopefully will improve. Can see him doing well, but not the title.
Sainz - Sadley lost his magic aswell, he hasn't got what it takes anymore.
Duval - No way.
Others - Martin is improving all the time in the not so good Focus and may surprise. Rovenpara also, no as he's not to hot on Tarmac.


So for me, Gronholm and McRae to fight it out, with an outside shot on Leob!


:)

[John]

Agree with all of that!!

However I think I rate Burns slightly higher, but don't think he'll win overall (unfortunately). He does clearly have a different driving style to Gronholm and sits differently - however as you say he should have adapted to that by now.

[AussieV8]

Well we can't agree on everything.
Mr Claw:rolleyes:

[Claw]

Why what have I said wrong?

[AussieV8]

Nothing just that I picked Burns no big deal.:D

[Claw]

I'm just venting my opinion if he will win or not.

Like it or lump it! :D;)

[AussieV8]

I know thats what makes this forum interesting.:p

No harm done.:D




BRING BACK C/C:rolleyes:

[Ed- the MG fan]

[Emma]

I really don't mind who wins.... providing the action at the Acropolis Rally is good - COS I'LL BE THERE!!!!

Can't wait..... :cool:

[John]

You had to rub it in didnt you!?! ;)

I'm off to the Kielder Rally again - bet the weather's just as good as in Greece!! (well maybe not!) :p

[Emma]

Don't even know where Kielder is so couldn't say! It's traditionally boiling in Greece during the rally so should get decent tan!:cool:

[John]

Kielder is North of England / Scottish border type area!!

[Emma]

Probably damp and foggy then!!! Sounds good though - when is it? i might be forced to make a trip!

[John]

Not sure - pretty sure it was round 1 last season so cant be too far away! Might actually take a coat this year!! Forgot last year so had to persuade my mate to lend me £30 to buy a Ford Fleece!!

I'll have a look and let you know!

[John]

Actually its not 'til April 25th (and isnt round 1).

[V6.]
