Haha yep. It's quick to say he was world champion, but misses out the vital rally! I might e-mail them

What you guys mean? to be honest Im lost. Yeah in PetterĀ“s site he doesnt have 2003 Wales Rally GB what he won and taken himself the world championship. He was fighting for the championship with Sainz and Loeb. Sainz was out early on and Loeb was given orders to secure manufacturers title what he did. Actually its the only time when Loeb has lost the championship fight.
In 2005 Loeb instead should have won the Wales Rally GB where he taken the time penalty as he didnt wanted to be a champion in a rally where was so much misery due to one moment what left so many of us in tears. Petter was then given the win and even Dudu finished before Seb(due to time penalty he taken as I said).
By my calculations Petter has 13 wins and 1 world championship (and that world championship win,I just doesnt never say that he deserved it).

What you guys mean? to be honest Im lost. We were saying before that someone who hasn't been following the WRC for very long might not win the competition, if they relied just on Petter's website. For some reason (maybe on purpose since the competition was announced?) Wales Rally GB 2003 is not on Petter's record, so it would be easy for someone not rally-minded to forget it.

I always thought Loeb was robbed in 2003. Thought Loeb deserved to win and Petter would get other opportunities when he deserved it more. But as it turns out it's lucky he did win in 2003 otherwise he wouldn't have a title at all.

Apologies to you tfliprex! Please, please. No need to at all. I think we all got a bit confused by the wording in the threads, thats all. I myself find it sometimes difficult to type exactly what i am thinking. ;D At any rate, I had noticed that Petter had not listed the 2003 GBR win, thus I tried wikipedia and there they have a complete list of his wins; thus I was able to post them. I was surprised about the amount of information regarding the rally, including drivers and copilots, can be found there. Flip

Wikipedia is quite good like that. As I always joke: "Wikipedia knows the way!"
