Loeb to quit end of 2008?

[MJW]

Over on a rallyforum here in UK there is a thread about a rumour that Loeb will quit wrc end of 2008 and go to become a professional race driver.
I guess with (if he wins) 5 drivers titles, now having won in Finland what is left in the wrc to motivate Seb? Also whilst far from confirmed the Citroen DTM entry is almost impossible to be ready for 2009 so does that leave Peugeot with their Le Mans 908's?
Will Gronholm come back for one more attempt with Citroen?

Loeb should do a Rossi.

Valentino Rossi changed bike when him and the machine was an unbeatable combination.
For him to feel that it still was a challenge, he started to build the Yamaha into a winner.

Maybe Loeb should do the same ?

Loeb in a Suzuki maybe ???

for sure I'll respect him more if he'd go to Subaru!

for sure I'll respect him more if he'd go to Subaru!

Maybe a Seb-Petter swap ?

Would be fun !!

Hopefully not.

If Loeb stop with rally it sure would be a big loss for the sport, on the other hand, it has to be difficult for him to find the motivation.
Loeb to drive for subaru, lol why would a guy who has been working with top professionals want to take a few steps back to the sandbox level.

Well it doesn't say much for the WRC that there is the possibility of him leaving the WRC. If he wants a challenge, he obviously feels that the WRC isn't the place. Must admit I'd love to see him in the Le Mans series - which seems a competitive series.
I get the feeling that people still think the WRC is in fairly good health, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Anyway, the Loeb story is just internet fuelled rumours - for now.

He could try IRC and see what he gets from it, but in that case I guess he'll go to Peugeot which is more or less the best car out there anyway....

I don't know it'd be a shame to see him go but I understand it is hard for him to find the motivation.

I would like to see he drive a GT car or the perfect way is a F1 car.

I'd love to see Loeb in the DTM along with the entire Citroen Sport team.

Former WRC champion Walter Rohrl drove a couple of seasons in the DTM with Audi and he won a few races.

Loeb has the talent to go anywhere in motorsport, so as an F1 fan I hope he can make it there.
