No respite for Sébastien Loeb. Just a few days after his podium at the Mugello 12H in the company of Romain Dumas, the nine-time world champion WRC will head to the Iberian Peninsula for Rally Raid Portugal (April 2-7), third round of the W2RC championship. The Frenchman will compete for victory in the Challenger category (ex-T3) at the wheel of a Taurus T3.


A participation as preparation before the first official tests with the new Dacia Sandrider, which will take place later in the year with a view to the 2025 Dakar. To not lose control, Sébastien Loeb has included the Rally Raid Portugal in his calendar to discover the tracks of Portugal and Spain with a prototype similar to the one that her future teammate Cristina Gutiérrez used to win the Challenger category in Saudi Arabia.
