Marcus Gronholm Retires

It is sad to see him go, he got over his whining streak while at Ford. I do hope he comes out on top for this year though, that would be the right way to go out. One of the great WRC drivers and the last of his graduating class as it were of Makinen, Sainz, Auriol, McCrae, Burns etc. Those were the guys I grew up watching. Only the young bucks left.

Wow! Lot's things changing in the motorsport world. 1st the McLaren fiasco and now this ... I'm amazed seeing Miko Hirvonen improve over the past year ....
