He's clearly not a bad driver - he won't be beaten by any Rally2s on pure pace, that's for sure - but I can't see him being quicker than Katsuta.
Sebastien Loeb goes to Dakar with... Dacia factory team:

Maybe he didn’t think they were spending enough on repair bills.
It’s nothing more than a glorified ego trip.
What the hell :D This is why we can't have nice things. Would you say the same about Grönholm doing Rally Sweden in 2010 or 2019? Or Loeb? He also had some years between his stints.Quote:

The difference I suppose with Gronholm and Loeb is that they’re proven world champions. Did Latvala ever come close?
Latvala is just so passionate about rallying and everything that comes with it.. Even look at his own cars museum that is opened to everybody with all the stories etc..
It's rude to call it an ego trip.. wtf
If he had raced in R5 or Evo then all would have been okay, but get the chance to drive rally1 is suddenly bad :D
Why so sour grapes.. as you are also involved in rally racing..
