Every one will miss Marcus and Timo. I live in Carlos Paz and I’ve gone to watch rally since 1995….. I will really miss watching marcus’s driving style, going side ways all the time…. It was delicious watching him driving.

what i will miss most is marcus’ humour and wit in interviews, hes such a funny guy… and lets not forget, by the start of next season mr loeb will have a baby to think about as well.. only chris and sordo will have no children then…
Undoubtedly one of the big pilots of the history of the rally. Thanks for every thing you did. Maybe you can push to Sebastien and win the championship on this year!!!.
I wait for it!!!.
Marcus will be missed! Like Eileen I will miss his interviews! He is like Petter, very excited and shows his feelings well! (sometimes too well!) And I think Timo is really cute!
I hope Marcus can win the championship over Loeb, it will be a nice farewell for him. Everyone likes to go out when they are on top and it will be nice for him (and the rest of us) to see him on top of Loeb!
Good Luck Marcus and Timo!
