I found this: " Loeb devrait annoncer au Paul Ricard la création du "Sébastien Loeb Racing Team". What I read is that Loeb will create his own racing team for GT Tour 2012. He will buy a Porshe and will drive it occasionally.Quote:

iRally has posted an interview with Haydon Paddon:
- He will compete in something different from PWRC in GB, he's going to announce after the rugby world cup finishes in NZ. My guess is Fiesta since his family has close ties with M-Sport.
- He's not looking to do IRC next year, but it's hopefully going to do SWRC with Monte dropped and home event in NZ included. If really lucky he will do an event or two in WRC.
- Next season is 700,000Euro; so not cheap
I wonder if that test in Spain was connected to this?Quote:

http://data.best-of-rallylive.com/up...se-300x200.jpgOn his way back from Catalonia, Loeb will stop off at Le Castellet, in the south of France, where he is due to compete in a round of the Championnat de France des Circuits. His car will be a Ferrari 458 Italia prepared by the Italian team AF Corse, the recently-crowned GTE Pro champions in the 2011 Le Mans Series. The car will feature Red Bull livery.Quote:

I know the circuit, and a top-three finish would be nice.” Sébastien Loeb’s car will face competition from a long list of Porsche GT3-Rs, Mercedes SLSs, Audi R8 LMSs and other Ferrari F458s, as well as an Aston Martin DBRS9 and a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Later in the year, Loeb will compete with Sébastien Ogier in the ERDF Master Kart at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, France (December 10-11). The two Citroën drivers will race in electric Sodikart go-karts and will face competition from endurance aces like Benoît Tréluyer, Romain Dumas, Stéphane Sarrazin, Franck Montagny and Sébastien Bourdais

Hmm, Dumas v Montagny could a little 'interesting' after Petit Le Mans....
€700,000 for WHOLE season? I think that is cheap!
