Silly Season 2019

if Malcolm can pay Loeb he would keep Ogier.This about Loeb -Ford ''rumors''
About Citroen with the duo Loeb Ogier,its not an easy task.
If Loeb is in front of Ogier at some rallies,what will do? If he has to back off,why to enter this situation? i dont think that he is looking for something like that.
If Loeb goes for the win,why Ogier to have an inside strong championship contenter against Neuville-Tanak etc?

If you really want to be silly, perhaps he will drive a season of wrc2 in the VW next to petter solberg.

Seb Loeb Racing does use VW TCR cars in WTCR! So, confirmed then?

Even though the two Sebs are all smiles now, I still find it hard to imagine them both working well in the same team, unless Loeb agrees not to fight for victory if Ogier is also in the podium positions. But, would he want to do that? Not sure.

Looking at the Sebs bromance currently, if i were Lappi i would start to wonder if it was a smart move to go at citroen... Hypotetical situation, but both Sebs driving for citroen, having good results, french drivers in a french team, i can see lappi easily be side tracked... In my opinion he will need to be fast and consistent from the very beginning of the season to avoid becoming a part time driver. And people saying "he has a contract, full time drive, blablabla", well if we have learn something the last 2 seasons, is that contract means nothing!

Loeb confirmed for Dakar 2019 in a private PH Sport Peugeot. Dakar ends now two days earlier than this year so it would be possible to do Monte as well?

Contract means whatever is written in it.

I can't believe the amount of completely absurd rumors floating around the forums and media during this silly season. First it was Meeke to Toyota and now this.

Malcolm would be silly not to at least talk to him, glad it's public knowledge that they are trying. Still can't help but think that Loeb with either be a) too expensive or b) committed to PSA for his entire career.

Funny, that there aren`t any rumours about Mäkinens 4th car for retired champions and Katsuta.
But to make it plausible (Loeb to M-sport), they would have to offer him a much better car than Citroen could ever be next season.
