Pace Notes
Are you expecting a predictable conclusion to the World Rally Championship with Sebastien Loeb about to embark on three asphalt rallies? David Evans warns against it, but can't help but be impressed by the Frenchman's 1000 Lakes drive
Extended logic suggests Sebastien Loeb won the 2008 World Rally Championship in Finland 10 days ago. Try and convince me otherwise. See, you can't.
Look at this sensibly. The Frenchman is a single point behind Ford's Mikko Hirvonen going into this week's Rally Deutschland - and we all know how uber-quick Loeb is on sealed surfaces. The rest of this season contains not one, but three asphalt rallies. All of them Loeb benefits. In the last three years Loeb won every one of those three rallies. Get that. Unbeaten in Germany, Catalunya and Corsica since 2004. Actually, unbeaten in Germany since... never. The man from Alsace has won each and every one of Germany's six world rally championship qualifiers.
