Title: Bye Bye Marcus...


The STIG - September 14, 2007 11:12 AM (GMT)
Marcus Gronholm, the funniest man in the WRC, has announced his retirement.

However - if he wins the championship this year, and that's likely, next year we could well see a lack of car 1 in the starting line up. You cannot have a car 0 in Rallying of course.

Funniest man?

*The STIG thinks that SAFC Fan has never heard Marcus trying to either talk his way out of a sticky situation (like whilst trying to drive on the public roads on 3 wheels : "But you do not know how I can drive!") or trying to give an interview (particularly ones involving Timo: "we were driving along the stage and something went bang and something goes up the arse of Timo [gesiculates to illustrate his point])

He also hates rain, as he confided in me : "F**king weather!"

Farewell to Loebs only real competition <wave>

Maybe I'm being unfair to Mikko Hirvonen though.

Why can't you have Car 0 in rallying if you can have it in F1?

The STIG - September 15, 2007 08:56 PM (GMT)
The three saftey cars are numbered 000, 00, and 0. 0 is the final car to sweep the stages before hand and unlike 000 and 00 (ARGH!) is a fully rally prepped car, driven at competition speeds. it is also logged on the timing system as a competitor would be. So you can't have a competitor with the number 0.

I bloody hate Binary.
