Season Review

Formerly known as "Analysis", this now re-titled article still covers only four pages and mainly filled with photos of varying sizes. Admittedly, season was so short of anything worth analysing, yet article concentrates mainly on Loeb and very little on anything else.

Teams and Drivers

Identity cards of all works teams and their drivers.

Junior and Production Championships

Half-page reviews on both support championships. Too short to give any real insight.

The Young Ones

Overview covering six young drivers who might be worth to keep in mind. In order of appearance, these drivers are Jari-Matti Latvala, Andreas Mikkelsen, Matthew Wilson, Conrad Rautenbach, Daniel Sordo and Evgeny Novikov. Each story consist only of half a dozen sentences - being too short to provide any real info.

Loeb: the Legend Grows

Yet another article with just a few words but lots of big photos. This one covers selected landmarks on Loeb's career, from groundbreaking wins in Sweden and Finland to near misses in 2007 New Zealand and 2008 Jordan et cetera.

Christian Loriaux: It'll Pay off in the Long Run

Q&A interview with Ford's Technical Director, looking back at 2008 season, touching the subject of Latvala's many accidents, brief look on non-existent competition if Citroen is not counted and also unclear regulations of the future.

IRC: Getting Some of Their Own Back

Apparently authors think that IRC is worth covering. Four wasted pages.

Portfolios

Three super-sized photographs from 2008.
