Sebastien Loeb wins Championship on his sofa
The frenchman has done it again. Despite an eventful year, and his injury from a mountain biking trip that left his shoulder in pain (done a montoya), he was sitting at home watching Marcus Gronholm (his nearest competitor) drive his car into a ditch in the first day. Marcus was very sportsman-like and said that Loeb pretty much well deserved the WRC title. This was the only racing series that seemed to have the “old head” winning again (unlike MotoGP and F1).
Anyway it transpired that this has been only the second Rally event I’ve actually watched on TV. The coverage has been bollocks. I never know when its on. They never advertise it. I don’t like the show (which I think is solely done by WRC.com now) but it is better than when ITV had full control. Channel4 seemed to be the best in promoting and its content and coverage when they covered it. ITV got all big-headed with its F1, BTCC, F3000/GP2 and wotnot coverage and thought they could do a better job, and ended up driving the show into the ground. Smooth.

Monte Carlo Rally
OOooooo so nice to get a motorsport fix last weekend, after the long winter. Shocking how Solberg had to retire with oil cooler problems. Great maiden win for the Focus 2006 WRC on its debut. It looks quite good. More priceless comments by rally winner Marcus Gronhölm when commenting about the atrocious conditions. "I'm driving like my grandmother" he said.
And there's no stopping the World Champion Sebastian Loeb. After ditching his car in a ditch no less (terribly unlike him), he pounces back under the new rally rules to finish on the podium. He's too good. Damn that frenchman! Too damn good.
