Loeb reaches the summits

For almost twenty years, history has repeated itself. Everytime. In France, wherever Sébastien Loeb passes, the crowd is there. From the shakedown, the public crowded to the sides of the road to catch a glimpse, even sometimes very briefly, of the 306 Maxi of the World Champions. Fans who had not consulted social networks (yes, yes, there are still some!) were surprised to find that Sébastien Loeb Racing had found a good way to get people talking about it. Indeed, in Morzine, both Peugeot de Loeb and Delecour had a completely different decoration from those used during the test session organized in Alsace in mid-August. Now operating a machine whose black dress can leave one doubtful, Sébastien was able to see that his popularity rating was still just as high.
