I can not hear it anymore... It's so stupid to say this. It's like you would say, Tennis players are the best skilled ball players in the world. It just doesn't make sense. You simply can not compare different types of sports with completely different rules, cars and tracks...

[@jraybay]

@@laubry Yes

[@Redslayer86]

@@laubry Incorrect, Rally is the most difficult type of racing, which means it requires the most skill. If tennis had to be played on a cliff in the snow and they had to land the balls in holes barely bigger than the ball itself, then it would require more skill than any other ball players in the world.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

What's incredible about Loeb is how he manages to tame such random and varied courses like this with smooth inputs and precise lines. Almost every one of these crazy corners is taken with one brake input, one smooth steering movement, onto one throttle input, resulting in the straightest possible line. No seat of the pants, just skill and commitment.

[@nmot97]

CNCTEMATIC very nice comment here !

[@Hanzales077]

Thought the same! I was tkinking that I am watching Circuit sprint, just on the open road :)

[@davidmurphy1207]

That's kinda why I loved watching incar cams of Colin Mcrae. He fought the car through turns. Loeb's control and feel for how his car responds to his movements is supernatural. Its almost artistic. Like poetry in motion. He is very smooth. The guy is a freak. Some of the crazy positions Colin put his cars in was something to behold as well though. I miss that guy.

[@spasicdusan1021]

Take surface in consideration. You cannot make Scandinavian slick because it's tarmac, and you cannot go like ken block either because time matters. So you gotta make it smooth. Colin videos mostly are on gravelish type of surface so he has to maintain direction by steering constantly (while throttling at finest).

@Selim Sultan Akbar Rallying is as varying as no other form of motorsport, so "made for this kind of track" is completely wrong. On the other hand, all circuits are pretty much the same and Monaco is no special to other circuit other than on the narrowness, so an F1 car can be quite well set up for a specific track. That's why F1 cars run perfectly well in Monaco as they do anywhere else. "But F1 cars double the speeds of WRC cars" - well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGiZo2mKds2BrJY

[@fr-tigerfangs7039]

Loeb is a magnificent rally driver, the best ever, but let's not forget the superb road handling capability of the DS3, which seems to turn flat, never flinches, never falters, sticks to the road in all conditions. It's an incredibly stable platform, impeccably fitted, from birth, for rally. The Loeb/DS3 combination is the ultimate winning machine...

No one will see this, but what the hell. That is an astounding display of skill. Rally is the king of motor sport.

[@Tezorus]

This is just my personal opinion but I think there's three main reasons behind Loeb's domination : - Natural talent : He his undeniably one of the most talented rally driver ever. Yet he was competing against incredible drivers such as Mäkinen, McRae, Sainz, Solberg, Grönholm and lot more I'm shamefully forgetting. And even in this incredible era he managed to be come out on top. - Dedication : He is a hard worker, constantly training and mentally preparing his races in order to be able to push a bit more than everyone else. - He's part of great team : Elena is easily one of the best co-driver of its time ans the alchemy between those two have evolved over time to become really unique and efficient. The entire staff of the Citroën Racing team is top notch. Leob could not have reached his full potential without each of thoses guys behind him doing an excellent job.

[@markmark5269]

Jackie Stewart says the secret to driving fast is to NEVER push the throttle down until you are 100% sure you can. He says most drivers lose time because they are impatient and want to get on the throttle too early, then have to lift again, re-steer the car back on line and get wheelspin/sliding. I mention this because Loeb is one of the greatest practitioners of that technique you will ever see. He brakes early and off to keep car balance, "rolls" through the corner (not literally of course, some acceleration must be maintained to overcome tyre scrub and aero drag, it's just a term), and only pushes the throttle down once. Go incar with other drivers and compare to this, they are jerky, hesitations, lots of steering input, often lift off the throttle because they tried too early.
