“These tests went well,” explains the five-time World Rally Champion on his website. “I drove a little on Wednesday to discover this circuit that I didn't know and all day Thursday. It wasn't a riding session for my pleasure, but a real development session, with a lot of things to try. I worked with the engineers, transmitted my driving sensations, I gave my opinion on the modifications we made to the car? »

Expected to be aligned in Shanghai in Asian Le Mans Series before the cancellation of the event, Sébastien Loeb should therefore not be lined up in the race with the 908 HDi this season. On the other hand, the lioness will be very present at Petit Le Mans with Nicolas Minassian and Pedro Lamy in the No. 7 and Franck Montagny and Stéphane Sarrazin in the No. 8.

As for Sébastien Loeb, he began the reconnaissance of the Rally from Australia today.
