How many times has he won the WRC?

You don't get that good without making the odd miss calculation.
How many times have you made a mistake and managed to save it so gracefully? 🙄

Loeb is an amazing driver - dominated for what, nearly 10 years now in junior and senior WRC?

The Higgins one is amazing, I once rescued him out of a tree at a Rally up in Hafren, really nice guy as well.

^ made even more impressive by the fact that he seems to have the normal steering rack in that car.

Stu...have a long hard look at, and ideally a word with, yourself.

You are in danger of becoming the new TJ.

That Rosberg one is great. He actually overtakes while going backwards!

The Subaru one looked pretty exciting too from the on-board camera, although I can help but think the electronic stability aids in the car may have helped out a bit there.

I can vouch for the lack of electronic stability aids in subarus, well mine anyway 🙄

Didn't quite have enough car control to avoid a spanish spectator driving on the wrong side of the road though did he?

Bit of a bugger really, Loeb is the rallying equivalent of Vettel though.

I know that corner where Loeb had his moment pretty well. It is impressive stuff, as it is a narrow road with a near vertical bank and a severe drop to the inside.

I would imagine that he knew he was going too fast into the corner and already planned the 360 to avoid hitting the bank.

This one has always done it for me, the late great Bertie Fisher suffering brake failure while aimed at spectators.
