Who is the greatest rally driver ever? A common enough question pondered and argued about by rally fans in pubs and clubs across the globe.
You're never going to get everyone agreeing on this one due to the subjective nature of the question, but it is always a good one to get a heated debate started.
Is ‘yer man’ Loeb an automated rally machine designed and created by Citroen just to win rallies and world championships, or is he truly the greatest as the cold hard stats and Marcus Gronholm would suggest.
In the RallyBuzz poll below I have designed what I feel is a pretty definitive list of contenders covering all eras of special stage rallying. Hopefully there is a good spread of candidates, from the various eras, to provide a decent enough pool to choose from, rather than just offering up mostly modern day drivers with a smattering of oldies.
The criteria I employed in selecting the final list of drivers for the poll, is that they (he/she) must have been successful (on special stage rallies) at the highest level of the sport over a reasonable period of time.
Perhaps you will vote just for your favourite driver, or pick who you feel is the fastest, maybe even choose the one you feel demonstrates the greatest versatility. Whatever way you vote there will be no right or wrong answer, but at least you will still be able to argue the toss down at your local.

I’m insulted that Matthew Wilson isn’t in the list.
