I think Tommi is done. He hasn't looked consistently competitive since coming over to the Scoob. Petter is looking more and more like a contender, near the front almost every weekend. I think Tommi's inclination to walk away from the sport might be the right one. Why bring such a storied career to such a humble close? Let's hope they replace him with another up and comer to compliment Solberg's growing confidence. Subaru may just have a shot this year...assuming those goddamn Pugs keep DNFing.

I think that all things will be set right in the universe if Tommi wins again.

However... I think that Subaru should actively persue Colin McRae again. The man still can drive and just doesnt fit with Citroen.

yah but watch...tommi will lose every rally and never finish, but they'll be like...'ah, as for point standing it doesn't appear subaru is doing well, but under technicality Tommi is still leading driver points.' how how how...has he ever finished a fucking rally?

and with mcrae...unless he's in first and he knows it...you know there'll be an accident. like when he broke a few fingers or something and had to shift with his left hand, he was forced to drive steady and finished relatively well...this was a couple seasons back when he wasn't with citroen.

I remember when Colin broke his thumb. He was such a hard ass that he actually considered amputating it just so that he could heal quicker and race the next event versus sitting out 2 events. That's fucking hard-core!
You'd never see Richard Burns do shit like that, hell even Juha Kankunen (rally god) had to convince Colin not to run... for the betterment of the team.

Colin was in his second year with Ford when he broke his thumb.
