WRC » Mikko: I can beat Loeb in '08 if...

Dream on ! Only Markko or Marcus can do it but..

haha, totally agree. IF he has a perfect season, well NO one has a perfect season or else it wouldnt be rallying. He will get beaten by minutes in monte, sweeden I think he will actually get beaten again, and well by half season loeb will probably have taken the title again!

I think there is a chance he can do it, and be right in there with Seb', although beating him continuously would take a task. Mikko has come a long way from his not-so-good year at Subaru, although no one in subaru seems to be having a good year, or three. I think Mikko has progressed well, and with Malcom Wilson coaching him, letting him run free, and then reigning him in back in again has shown what Mikko can do with the right amount of self belief and good ability and management control. But if he is to have a good season, Seb better have a bad one, and ditto with Sordo. I say go for it Mikko, you make you make your own luck!

I think he has a good chance. I wonder how much Malcom held him back when Gronholm was ahead of him. Now that he'll be the #1 seat he'll get to push 100% all the time. I say he has a very good chance at second place, and maybe if Loeb has a few more offs this coming year he could claim first.

If Gronholm couldn't, sorry Hirvonen you ain't got a chance. Maybe a couple of wins. But even when Loeb takes his time he's still faster than most.

Silver, 10 points! Miko cant beat Loeb!

Well,it seems a few of the people above realise that Mikko has been a number 2 driver upto now and that means that he had to be a solid points scoring driver and normally had his wings clipped in terms of being allowed to push for rally wins.What only a few people seem capable of realising is that Mikko will have a very different agenda next year and will be not only allowed but encouraged to go for the win every Rally.Yes I think Mikko will be a few minutes down on both Seb and prob Danni in Monte (but then so was Marcus this year)but from then on its GAME ON !! I suspect he will have a tough time with Seb but I for one will be fighting his corner and firmly believe we will see a difference
