Anyone here into WRC? Sebastien Loeb just barely clinched the title by 1 point this year, making it his 6th win in a row. Here's a Q&A after his victory: World Rally Championship - News - Sebastien Loeb - Q&A

I feel kinda bad for Mikko Hirvonen--he was just one point shy of getting his first WRC title

Its amazing..The French are so bad at making cars but manage to grab the WRC championship 6 times in a row ..Congratulations to Loeb though. That s quite an achievement, impresses me more than Mick Doohan's 5 in a row or Schumi's titles.

Strange that the day i see my favorite rally car of all time, the 1986 Audi Quattro S1 a couple of hours back (that engine note is intoxicating) i see a thread on WRC on HF.

I wish there was more rally coverage in the United States. All we get for rally is x-games.

HD Theater (part of Discovery) is playing the 2009 WRC right now(one event per week). I'm not familiar with any other channel that plays rally, unfortunately.

Massive respect! 6 wins in a row is a major task...
