So faltava era virem dizer k o LOEB no teve merito na recuperação. Deve ser o piloto actualmente no WRC k comete menos erros. E na epoca de 2005 chegou a ganhar todas as classificativas de um rally, nao sei como ainda vêm falar do Marcus Gronholm[xx(], não digo k nao seja bom mas comparar com o loeb [|)]. Para começar e mto arrogante e tem manias k e melhor k os outros e isso não e qualidade de campeao.

Tomi Makinen foi o piloto que mais me impressionou a passar no inicio do troço Fafe-Lameirinha no rali de Portugal em 99 e Ponte de Lima em 2001, para mim será sempre o maior, quem lá esteve comigo sabe do que estou a falar.
Impressionante e eficaz.
Pessoalmente prefiro o Gronholm, mas não posso deixar de dar valor ao campeão em titulo que é o homem que conduz mais limpo e quem menos errou nas duas ultimas temporadas.
Bons Ralis

citação:Originalmente colocada por Rui Gonçalves
Ai é que está...se alguem se atrasar 20/30/etc min, tb só perde 5min no final da mesma. Se Loeb tivesse capotado e destruido o carro todo, mas conseguisse chegar ao fim, passado 1h...tb so perdia 5 min....se conseguiria compor o carro ou nao, isso já é outra história. Por isso nao sei qual é o problema do "super rali". Este foi criado pq houve ralis em que a maioria dos favoritos desistiam, e ficava 1 rali com pouco interesse, já que era disputado por pilotos de "segunda". Quando se fala que se precisa de mais competitividade e emoçao no desporto, bem, dificilmente haverá outro semelhante ao Monte-Carlo 2006.
Sem tirar qualquer mérito ao Gronholm, relembro que á 5ª especial da 1ª etapa, Loeb ja tinha 1 vantagem 1:16min
Desconhecia isso assim tem mais logica, mas ainda assim sao benefeciados os q se despistam em prol dos q tem avarias mecanicas.
Pra mim deveria ser assim quem se despista so poderia pontuar pro mundial de construtores.
Quem tem avarias mecanicas continuava e so pontoava pro mundial de pilotos acho q assim seria mais justo

Pois parece que estás redondamente enganado. O Focus 2006 não deixa nada a dever aos outros automóveis do WRC.
Depois desta vitória nesta prova por parte de um piloto que náo é especialista de asfalto (ao contrário de alguns que lá andavam) e numa prova que nunca tinha ganho na sua carreira, ainda há dúvidas quanto à competitividade do Focus WRC 2006? Ainda vai paracer alguém a argumentar " o Loeb e tal, se não tivesse o despiste e tal", pois: e se fosse pelas regras do ano passado nem teria terminado a prova! Detesto fanatismos!
Ainda quero ver os Subaru ao longo do ano, e os Skoda também...

Previsão Rali daSuécia: Dois nórdicos e um francês lutam pelo triunfo
Os pilotos nórdicos na companhia de Sebastien Loeb são os favoritos para o Rali da Suécia que arranca esta 6ª feira de Karlstad.
Trata-s ede um rali puramente de inverno com as classificativas repletas de neve. Pelo menos é conhecido por essa característica, só que a neve não existe na quantidade desejada. Em algumas (poucas) zonas as equipas encontraram gravilha nos reconhecimentos, só que na prova esse tipo de piso e uma uma espécide de "papa" que resulta da neve derretida será mais comum com as sucessivas passagens dos carros.
Os nórdicos têm quase a hegemonia desta prova, só que Loeb quebrou essa tradição ao vencer em 2004. O piloto francês juntamente com Marcus Gronholm e Petter Solberg são os favoritos. Gronholm sai motivado depois de vencere em Monte Carlo. Solberg está em igual situação depois do azar na prova monegasca e recordadndo-se do triunfo conseguido na Suécia em 2005. Loeb já se sabe, é o homem que assume favoritismo em todo o lado.
Mas depois de apresentarmos os favoritos vamos dar uma ronda pelas equipas participantes. Na Ford Gronholm e Hirvonen são a dupla em todas as provas, isto de o jovem finlandês não falhar muitas vezes. Na Kronos Sebastien Loeb tem ao seu lado Xavier Pons que será uma "carta fora do baralho". Para seguir com atenção é a prova de Daniel Sordo que se estreia na condução em neve.
A OMV Team Peugeot Norway parte com boas aspirações, Henning Solberg poderá fazer valer a sua experiência na neve com vista a vingar a má prestação de Monte Carlo. o irmao de Petter Solberg parte com o objectivo de um lugar no pódio. Manfred Stohl tem contra si o facto de não possuir grande experiência na condução em neve. Na Subaru está um dos favoritos ao triunfo final, tendo ao seu lado Chris Atkinson que alinha pela segunda vez na Suécia, depois do 19º lugar de 2005.
A Red Bull Skoda apresenta o "aprendiz" Andreas Aigner, mas deposita em Mattias Ekstrom a esperança de um lugar nos pontos depois deste ter rubricado uma excelente actuação em 2005. A Stobbart VK apresenta-se com um bocadinho mais de força na Suécia do que em Monte Carlo. Mantém um carro para o jovem Mathew Wilson e outro para Luis Perez Companc, mas está Kisti Katajamaki ao volante de um dos Ford Focus WRC 04 e poderá sair daqui o melhor resultado. A sua vitória no Rali do Ártico do passado fim de semana mostrou que o finlandês prestes a completar 29 anos está bastante à vontade com o Ford Focus WRC.
Gianluigi Galli terá ao seu lado um especialista na prova para tripular o segundo Lancer WRC assistido pela Ralliart Itália, Daniel Carlsson conseguiu à última da hora os apoios para alinhar no carro japonês. Janne Tuohino surge num Citroen Xsara WRC da PH Sport, este lugar pertencia à inscrição de Harri Rovanpera no Mitsubishi Lancer, só que o finlandês não conseguiu reunir os apoios necessários e cedeu o carro e o lugar a Tuohino que também conseguiu uma entrada quase à última da hora. Thomas Radstrom regressa a uma prova do mundial com um Subaru Impreza WRC04 da equipa Olsbergs. Jan Kopecky está inscrito com o Skoda da equipa privada checa ao passo que Kristian Sohlberg surge com um Subaru Impreza WRC.
Feita a apresenteção dos principais protagonistas resta realçar que o Campeonato Mundial de Junior tem o seu arranque na Suécia. Com cada vez menos brilho, esta competição vê o principal candidato ao título - Daniel Sordo - escolher este como o rali de ausência, o mesmo acontecendo com a maioria dos interessados no campeonato, facto que deixa Per-Gunnar Anderssson à vontade para impôr o seu Suzuki Ignis S1600.
O Rali da Suécia conta com 19 provas de classificação, sendo 6 delas na 6ª feira, 7 no Sábado e 6 no Domingo.

Carlsson sets shakedown pace
Former Peugeot driver Daniel Carlsson, starting the event in a Mitsubishi Lancer WRC05 following the unanimous agreement of all competitors, set the pace at the event's shakedown, claiming the fastest time of the morning. There were no major surprises or problems as the field prepared for the start in temperatures around -4 degrees C and in plenty of snow.
"I have taken Harri Rovenpera's base settings for the car and they feel perfect for me," said Carlsson. "This is the first time I've driven the Lancer and it's a little different from what I'm used to; you need to be a little more aggressive, for example, but still very progressive. I'm hoping for a clean rally this weekend and we will see what we can do."
Second fastest in the morning was Manfrend Stohl in the OMV Peugeot 307, closely followed by Mikko Hirvonen in the Ford Focus WRC06. "After our pre-Christmas test, I did three days testing on gravel last week and that's helped me get used to the car on loose surfaces," said Hirvonen. "But then, it's always a shock to come here, with the high speeds. This morning was very good and the car feels excellent. The traction is very good, so now we need more power! But then, every driver will always want more power!"
Team-mate Marcus Gronholm, looking for his second win of the season with the Ford team, used the morning to re-familiarise himself with the Focus on snow. "I did not need to do many runs to know the car was ready. The stages are in almost perfect condition for the rally. There is plenty of snow and the prediction is for it to get colder. I expect to lose perhaps a little time on the first couple of stages, being first on the road but hopefully it won't be too bad."
Frenchman Sebastian Loeb was also on form at the shakedown, underlining his determination to break the Scandinavian stranglehold on winning this event. "The stages are in very good condition but the snow-banks at the side of the road are quite small and soft. So it is very important to stay on the road and be precise. Marcus and Mattias [Ekstrom] were very fast this morning, so I will have to push hard from the beginning if I want success."
The Solberg brothers, Petter and Henning, set identical times in their Subaru Impreza WRC06 and Peugeot 307WRC respectively. Petter carried out just a couple of runs, checking settings from a development test while team-mate Chris Atkinson had one more run, to familiarise himself with the same settings.

Wilson, Richards slam WRC bashers.
Ford team director, Malcolm Wilson and WRC boss, David Richards have hit out at suggestions that the FIA World Rally Championship is in anyway in crisis, following the withdrawal of Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Skoda and Citroen - the latter of which is taking a sabbatical from the sport in 2006.
Speaking to exclusively to Crash.net Radio, Wilson said that while the sport may be changing, it is still very healthy and he insisted that there are still three manufacturer backed teams in the sport, despite the fact the Xsara's are now, officially at least, run by Kronos not Citroen Sport.
"There is still three manufacturer teams entered [in 2006], which is Citroen, Subaru and Ford, obviously, and what you have also got now is three manufacturer two teams, so in all honesty you have actually got six teams competing for the championship," he stated. "Not only that but in Monte Carlo we had 26 World Rally Cars entered, which was a record.
"So I think, all in all the sport is in good shape, the manufacturers' and the FIA have been working closely on all the cost affective measures they are trying to introduce and I think we are now starting to see the benefit of that. Hence the reason so many people were entered in World Rally Cars [for the opening round of the series']. If the costs were prohibitive or too expensive, we certainly wouldn't have seen private drivers investing in World Rally Cars. So I think the sport is in all honesty in great shape.
"OK, nobody wants to see manufacturers' disappearing but all these second teams that are in there are still manufacturer supported. So I think, okay the championship is changing, but I think the sport is getting stronger, the TV is getting better and I think there is going to be more teams in the future for sure."
As for if the Rallye Monte Carlo entry list was proof that the sport is far from being in crisis, Wilson agreed that there is much to be positive about, including the fact that the television audience for the sport continues to increase.
"If you look at TV as another aspect, with a lot of other sports the TV figures are on a downward spiral. But if you look at World Rally the figures are still increasing year on year," he continued. "So I really believe - and judging by the amount of entries in Monte Carlo, for me the sport is in great health. You wouldn't have that amount of private interest if it wasn't. Why would people invest the sort of sums of money involved in a World Rally Car if they didn't think - or if the sponsors didn't think, it was delivering value? That's the important thing. Last year we saw private drivers get on the podium and I wouldn't be surprised this year if you see some challenging for victory on some events."
Richards meanwhile echoed the thoughts of Wilson in a separate interview with Crash.net Radio - and he too believes that the privateer teams will become a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
"There has never has been as big a field of WRC cars in Monte Carlo as we had two weeks ago. I think it just proves the point, that yes, the manufacturers have a rightful place in homologating the cars and developing the cars, but actually running the cars, they have got to be affordable for private teams and private competitors to use," said Richards. "Furthermore with the change of rules, the change of regulations we have achieved that now and it is quite feasible, quite realistic for a private competitor to contest WRC events. You are going to see a lot more of that in the future."
So could the likes of Red Bull Skoda and the OMV Peugeot Norway WRT really challenge the manufacturer backed entries field by Ford and Subaru?
"Well we started like that," concluded Richards, who as well as being the WRC boss, is also the head of Prodrive, who run the Subaru World Rally Team. "Prodrive was a very small private team, a handful of years ago. When we started off we employed 50 people in the first year we ran the Subaru's. Malcolm [Wilson] probably had less than that when he started with Ford. So you have to start somewhere and if you are good... it's a competitive series - and if you become better you are going to be at the front of the field and that is what sport is about. That is what motorsport is about."
