| Gronholm crash has Loeb poised for fourth crown Gronholm crash has Loeb poised for fourth crown | Motor sport | Guardian Unlimited Sport Sébastien Loeb will head into the final round of the World Championship in Great Britain in a fortnight's time with a six-point series lead after winning the inaugural Ireland event yesterday. Ford's Marcus Gronholm had led the championship since the Italian round of the series in May but a high-speed accident on day one in Ireland left both his body and his title hopes seriously bruised. "It was a big impact. Both wheels on my side of the car came off straight away," said the Finn, who was released from hospital in Sligo on Friday evening after a precautionary check-up. "It's going to be difficult to win the championship now but there's still Rally Great Britain so I'm not giving up yet. We just have to go flat-out." The Welsh forests around Cardiff, where the Rally GB is based, represent a final chance for Gronholm to add to his two titles as he plans to retire at the end of the season.
