WTCC: Sébastien Loeb to join series?

I hope that's not true. The WTCC is a joke, with even less official Manufacturers than WRC. If he's going to do any racing, I hope it's a proper quality series, ie; WEC, Le Mans, DTM.Quote:

i hope he stays. especially next year with the changed running order rules, he will not have to run 1st in every stage of the championship, have the disadvantage and still win it... and hopefully show to Seb2 that he is still the master.
the thing with Loeb is that if he retires now it will leave a gap in thw WRC since he is still the best out there...none seems to be faster than him at the moment consistently. But on the other hand he has nothing to prove anymore...if he wins this years championship that will make it 8 in a row NONE OTHER IN ANY KIND OF MOTORSPORT MANAGED TO WIN 8 IN A ROW..... that doesn't make him the best rally driver until now but also the best motorsport driver of all times, especially if you take into account that he manages to be fast on the track as well.
I would like to see Loeb get beaten before he retires...it would feel like a proper retirement that way.
if he does retire i will miss his driving a lot. when i see him at the stage live its unbelievable how smooth and tidy he is but still pushing above the limit. the rest of them are all over the place to try to play catch up... i will be at Rally GB this year so I will see him retiring (if he does)
Totally agree. I would like to see it too, or to see Loeb driving a non-Citroen car for 1 or 2 seasons. But I don't think it will happen, my guess is (too bad) he will leave WRC and join WTCC or Endurance :\Quote:

If he Joins another series what he actually does is he continues to have all the negatives of a professional driver and on top of that on a field he is not master of. A the age of 37 i think there are less and less things you consider a challenge. so please stop with that He will join A-B-C series...he will not.
But Loeb himself said that he won't stop racing, even leaving WRC... I don't think with "racing" he mean a couple of events just for fun.Quote:
