Rallycross – Sébastien Loeb will be in Lohéac!

And an additional challenge for Sébastien Loeb ! Between his partial program in WRC, his full-time commitment to the FIA ​​GT Series, the rise of Pikes Peaks with the Peugeot 208 T16 and his appearances in MitJet and in Porsche SuperCup, Sébastien Loeb adds the Rallycross on his 2013 calendar!

The Alsatian will travel to the sacrosanct of this discipline in Lohéac (Ille-et-Vilaine), in Brittany, and will take part in the seventh round counting for the FIA ​​European Rallycross Championship. “2013 is definitely a year full of challenges” explains the recent winner of the Argentina rally. ?I received a nice invitation from the organization and I decided to respond favorably. Apart from the X-Games, I have no experience in Rallycross and I therefore expect to have to battle against some serious specialists. I enjoyed my experience at the X-Games and I expect something similar. » Note that during his only participation in the X-Games at the beginning of summer 2012 in Los Angeles, Sébastien Loeb won the gold medal at the wheel of the Citroën DS3 XL.

“Lohéac is the temple of Rallycross. It is a renowned event which always enjoys great popular success. On a sporting level, it is also a very tough race. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take part in it at least once in my career, especially at the wheel of a Citroën DS3. I am curious to discover Lohéac, to meet the fans and to race in Brittany. » Aboard a car that he knows so well, Sébastien Loeb will meet an old adversary on this occasion: Petter Solberg. The Norwegian is indeed committed to the entire European championship since his retirement from the WRC.
