  • Pure engine sounds tribute to my childhood hero and 4-time World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen - The King of Rallying. Juha took part in WRC events in four decades, winning in 2WD, 4WD, Group B, Group A and WRC with various manufacturers.

    Loeb is a champion in an era with watered down competition and hardly any manufacturers involved.
    Back in the Group B and consequent WRC era in the late 80's and 90's, the competition was razor sharp. Literally a piranha club of great drivers (many champions) and manufacturers looking to eclipse each other.
    When Kankkunen drove he raced against greats like Rörhl, Alen, Blomqvist, Vatanen, Mikkola, Biasion, Sainz and other great drivers.

    What's crazy about this guys is that he is one of the few who drove a championship event in *every* top category of the World Rally Championship. He's driven Group 3-4 cars, he's driven Group B cars, he's driven Group A cars, and he's driven WRC cars.
    To put it another way, in 2002 he was the last guy who had driven an event in the original regulations (the ones from 1973).

      And when you think what kind of competition he had and still won..
      Loeb is a great driver, one of the best there is, but only one overpowered car and half the time only bums against him. And he didnt have one hand on steering another on stick and cicarette on his lips while doing it..
      To me, Juha is goat. Closest to Loeb being so secure driver, very few mistakes but still fast. But concidering how different cars and opponents etc his trophys are way more impressive IMO.

    Watched Juha on rally NZ in group a and WRC era. Lancia delta integrale, toyota Celica, ford escort, Subaru Impreza, Hyundai accent. Against all the other legendary drivers. A truly great rally car driver. The overseas drivers loved rally NZ too. The highlight of the year for me back then. Would stage hop over three days to watch the greatest show on earth!!! What of the cars these days? Can't even tell what model they are. I remember that last escort WRC Juha drove, every gear change it made a bang like a fucking shotgun going off! Brilliant!

But without doubt Juha is the most successful driver on real-life level, because he was able to make wins with any kind of a car, from group B, group A and with WRC car, and achive 4 world champion title with 3 different car in two different era. That is called proffesionalism!

    I really love those Group B monsters, but when I was a young boy my favourite rally car was that A-Group Celica. It just looked so good, and for me it's still the best looking rally car ever. I remember it was that Celica which had the turbo cheat system that was so clever it took a long time before they notice it at the inspection... some kind of a mechanism that allowed more airflow to the turbo when the car was driven at full throttle.

    Yeah.. in my book he really is the greatest! I think when you look how many cars he drove, and how he really mastered them all! How smooth it was, i mean, Mäkinen were fast / but he crash a lot. Mcrae were fast / but he crash a lot. Vatanen were fast / but he crash a lot... etc. At least when you compare to Juha. On his time, Sainz were as smooth maybe, but not as fast in many times.. I think Loeb maybe the only one that is as smooth/smoother, and fast. Really fast. Tell me when is the last time Loeb crashed? And how many times at all.. But as all arounder, when driven so many different cars, this man is above them all. My all time hero.. :)
