Final preparations for Sébastien Loeb before Mont-Blanc Morzine 

Everything is ready for Sébastien's big return Loeb in the French Rally Championship. Three years after its appearance in the Rally Mont-Blanc Morzine on a Peugeot 306 Maxi with his eternal sidekick Daniel Elena, the Alsatian is back in the Alps.

However, there is no question of a Lioness this year, but of an arrowed A, that of theAlpine A110 GT+ from Ludovic Godard's team. A new one for him. No question of Danos in the seat either, but of his partner Laurène Godey with whom he has often driven recently.

« It's actually brand new., he confided about his Alpine. I have still evolved with GTs on the circuit and I have already moved in a propulsion, but it is nice to have to do it in a race. I will have to adapt to the corner entries and the positions. It remains a GT. It does not have the agility and the reactivity of a Rally2. It is a little more comfortable and less incisive. I cannot yet play with it in the same way as I do with a 4-wheel drive. I am less comfortable. It is a car that does not make much noise. Unlike the 306 Maxi where the engine screams where it moves and where it jumps, here everything is more muffled, on the torque. At the beginning, Laurène thought that we were not moving forward, but I think that theAlpine moves well and is efficient. I like it. »

A real attraction already for the spectators, who came in large numbers this Thursday at the foot of his team's tent to admire him during the Shakedown. Now we just have to wait for the departure... and the sun, " he wrote after a Thursday marked by rain. So it's time for the show with 14 special stages on the program starting at 10:00 this Friday with the ambition of going to tease the Rally2 at the top of the table and why not leave with the winner's trophy on Saturday.
