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.

>tfw you'll never see Loeb competing in Group B

>>15382382
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
>>15382382
Ari Vatanen's record was only broken when they paved part of the hill climb

>>15382418
Isn't hillclimb a subtype of rally? Like you can have rally hillclimbs?

>>15382418
>>15382433
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

>>15382253
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

'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
