    WRC Starts Next Week!

    WRC Starts next week in Monte Carlo, is Loeb gonna walk away with it this year now that Gronholm's out, or will Hirvonen be able to challenge?

    I definitely think that Loeb will win again, but Hirvonen is now #1 at Ford and he wasn't that much behind Loeb in the points last year so it won't be easy. I'm eager to see how Latvala performs this year. Also I wish that Suzuki will get decent finishes, that might encourage more car manufacturers to join wrc.

    I'm picking a comfortable win to Loeb this year. His main threat would be himself this year.

    The real battle will be for second.

    Duval was highly speculated to take Gr?nholm's seat but Latvala got it. I wonder if he is bitter about this.

    Duval blew it as a Citroen driver. He'll need to show real consistency before another manufacturer team takes him. But his definitely got the speed ... just not Loeb's speed!
