Thank you for making us feel inferior beings sebastian... it was a nice reminder of our place.
That man is groving even if he doesn´t drive WRC so much anymore. :)
He must come back to rallying and do some 1 or 2 WRC events and some non WRC events.
he already done both these things.Quote:

Palmares is quite impressive, Auriol in 1983, Bugalski in 1985, Delecour in 1986, Panizzi in 1989, Bernardi in 1996, Loeb in 1997, Bengué (Citroen test driver) in 2000, Bouffier in 2002, Ogier in 2007
Now you mention it :)Quote:

World Touring Car Championship chief Francois Ribeiro said he was left speechless by Citroen's decision not to retain Sebastien Loeb for the 2016 season.
Citroen's parent PSA group announced last November that the manufacturer would exit the championship at the end of this year, when it will switch its focus solely to its World Rally Championship commitments.
As a precursor to its departure, the marque's works 2016 fleet has been trimmed from four cars to two - with Loeb axed from its line-up.
Ribeiro, whose relationship with the nine-time WRC champion goes back nearly 20 years, said he had been taken aback by the decision.
"Sebastien said he was surprised [and] disappointed; I would add I'm sad," he said. "I'm really sad. I was not expecting that decision.
"Their decision to go back to rallying was more expected to me, but the decision about Sebastien was not something I was expecting.
"I've known him since [French rally talent scheme] Rally Jeunes, since 1996. Sebastien was an electrician at that time, I still have a picture of him - it was not very glamourous - and so I met Sebastien when I was organising that.
"When he gave me a phone call to tell me it was over [with the Citroen WTCC team]... I know his voice, and I know how disappointed he was - and so was I.
"I was speechless. I did not understand but it's difficult to comment."
Having played a significant role in bringing Citroen to the WTCC, Loeb had entered the championship with the understanding that he would race for three years.
That the Frenchman, also a valuable branding asset to the championship, would not be given the opportunity to contest a third campaign puzzled Ribeiro.
"I'm sad for him and the championship that he doesn't have the chance, as he said on his Facebook account, to see how far he can go on his learning curve to challenge [Jose Maria] Lopez," Ribeiro said.
"Lopez is clearly one step ahead of everybody today but I am sad because I respect the challenge [Loeb took on].
"At 40 years old, you are nine times World Rally champion and all of a sudden you say 'next year I'm a rookie'. How many drivers can do this?
"In his mind he was programmed for three years and he knew that his learning curve would be progressive and it is sad to see that he will not be given the chance to go for that third year.
"But it's not his decision, not my decision, and unfortunately there is nothing I can do to help and fix it.
"I was not expecting this, I think nobody was. I haven't been given any explanation.
"I gave him a WTCC pass - it was a joke but I told him the door is always open and if you feel you have unfinished business with WTCC, you give me a phone call and we try to find a solution."
Very interesting indeed, and quite a surprise. I wonder what the future holds for him. A return to WRC perhaps?Quote:

Damn, I was so caught up with work that I completely forgot to celebrate his birthday! Happy belated birthday Loeb!
Comgrats, and may I suggest a testrally in your teams new 208 T16 as a present to yourself?
Sebastien Loeb will join Team Peugeot-Hansen to compete in all 12 rounds of this year’s FIA World Rallycross Championship

Brace yourself, everybody will be owned again
There's always been a big part of me that resisted rallycross. But I gave it a chance last year and now it's going to be must-see I think.
I still don't like rally cross but I'll happily read the updates now that Loeb is in it!
Mate, those updates will be the same all the time and you will lose interest again after a while.Quote:

Sounds strange, do you believe a new comer can easily catch the top guys in their category?Quote:

Don't know too much about RX but I remember Loeb participating some years ago and creating empty space behind him after two or three corners...Quote:

It's not a normal person we are talking about ;)
Who will be anywhere near his skill level and experience? only Solhberg comes near... You think 18-19 year old "Timmys" and "Tommys" just because their dad's drove 20 years ago?Quote:

Loeb will challenge Petter for the title in his first season. He is a superb driver, and if the 208 is up to same standard as in 15, and with manufacturer support that is a given - then he will be fighting for top spots!Quote:

I think he competed in France before (2013 i think) and did not do well, i am sure he did the US version in 2012 and obliterated the competition, Gronholm actually had an accident in practise and was injured on that same event if i recall correctly.

gt cars are they allowed at RX?
No. RX's top class (super car) are custom built silhouette racers. The other classes are Super1600, Touring Car, RX Lites.Quote:
