Malcom would finally get all the drivers he has wanted in the last decade :D

Why he want to be back in WRC. I mean he is legend surely, but one driver will seat this year almost sure (Paddon, Sordo, Evans, Ostberg, Breen)... And then Qassimi will drive one car and now Loeb want to get a seat too and obviously he will be prior to others... It's not right. It'sn not my call but It would be helpful if all would run three cars and maybe some other manu will be involved, then there wouldn't be a problem at all. (just my thoughts).
He's earned it by being one of the best drivers. I'm sure if he was at the same caliber as the other guys in his day he would lose many opportunities as well. That's life
PSA confirmed Loeb will continue as one of their drivers after WRX ends.. programme as yet undecided.
Well, what programmes do PSA have? Dakar, World RX have both been pulled - so using a process of elimination, you're not left with a lot to choose from......(well those that are suitable for a 9xWRChampion)
WTCR maybe with 308. Volvo is entering also again next year. So it could be interesting.

"For @SebastienLoeb it's too early to say, but he remains a pilot for PSA Motorsport so we will think about the future with him."
That's true, and I am aware how hard it is to find sponsorship, but Toyota, Citroen and Hyundai have all secured title sponsor deals, and I can't help thinking that one of the reasons M-Sport has been unable to is because they are not a manufacturer team, in the strictest sense of the term. In other words, Microsoft entered a partnership with Toyota, Shell entered a partnership with Hyundai; that is quite different from a company entering into a partnership with what is essentially Malcolm Wilson Motorsport.
