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?
>>15573913
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

>>15573913
The only competition he ever had was against Marcus Gronholm and not even Ogier could keep up with him.

>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

>tfw i will never rally
>>15576231
it's pretty cheap and easy to rally, unless you're thinking of wrc

>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
