Why don't people talk more about this guy? He is statistically the best wrc driver ever with 9 consecutive championships, something that has never even been none, nonetheless in a row. He also holds the world record for pikes peak. Why is it debated that he isn't the best rally driver ever or even one of the best drivers of all time?
>>
Because he didn't race in Group B.

Was he better than Tommi Makenien?

literally no competition, both in drivers and manufacturers (Loeb/Citroen wins lol)

compare to 90's WRC with Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Tommi Makinen, Carlos Sainz, Didier Auriol, Juha Kankkunen; with Subaru, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Ford all being equally competitive


also he's french and the french are cunts

How to tell someone doesn't know jack shit about Rally

>naming Colin McRae as good
>>
>>15575453

>got a world championship title
>helped Subaru gain a few manufacturers titles
>not good
>>
>>15574769
>the french are cunts
why
>>
>>15573913
The only competition he ever had was against Marcus Gronholm and not even Ogier could keep up with him.
>>15575453
>not good
>literally carried the 555 Subaru all the way to the WRC
>thrashed his ride, manually fixed the broken suspension of his car with Grist by banging rocks
>still set a stage record in Argentina with said thrashed car
>still win stages going flat out like a madman
>not good
if you like the boring mechanical driving style of Loeb, sure
>>
>tfw i will never rally
>>
>>15576231
it's pretty cheap and easy to rally, unless you're thinking of wrc
>>
>>15576235
>it's pretty cheap
No it's not. The safety equipment you need to meet FIA regulations alone is more expensive than most people here can afford. Unless by "rally" you mean driving a random car quickly on random dirt roads.

>implying americans can buy good rally cars
>>
>>15576271
it really depends. If you're in Finland right now, you can convert even an old mk2 Escort for amatuer rallies for relatively cheap
