Engine failure, according autohebdo.fr's twitter

And it's Loeb pushing too hard and he broke the engine or engine too weak for 9 World Champion?

That's one hell of an erudite judgement.

Do You mean that the conrod or its pin broke? With engine which turns over 10000 rpm it does sound quite plausible.

we don't know exactly,but even if we knew we cant decide what exactly failed, if you don't have all the engine components to examine properly.
At French forum they wrote that Elena said that the engine before Var start had 350 stage km more for rebuild time.
It doesn't matter,it was nice fight,and a miracle that he was playing for the win with 20 years old car,against new cars,at these conditions
Hope we see them again with 306 maxi.

I think there is less people now, who think that Loeb couldn't be competitive if he come back to WRC. Guy with 3 years without active rallying with 20 years old car being so fast is insane...And he's not even local - did Var 4 times before. Would like to see Ogier or Neuville with old cars competing for real in rally with strong entry list.
