Sébastien Loeb and Laurène Godey win the Chablais Rally

It's unbearable! A few days after finishing the Rally-South African Safari Raid in 2nd place at the wheel of his Dacia Sandrider, Sébastien Loeb followed this up with a victory at the Chablais Rally. The nine-time world rally champion (WRC) won this Saturday, June 7 with his partner Laurène Godey as co-pilot.

"In rather daunting conditions, we had to give ourselves over to theAlpine A110 GT+ to beat Rally2 this weekend, comments Sébastien Loeb on his social networks. The Alsatian, who started cautiously, finally picked up the pace to win with a lead of 32 seconds over the local, Mike Coppens (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, winner in 2024). The German Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), former leader of the FIA ​​GT3 in the early 2010s, completed the podium 49 seconds behind.

"Thanks to the work of Laurène, Alain, Matthieu and Michelin tires, we are delivering another success to the entire GL Automobiles Service Compétition team. Bravo Ludovic (Godard, team boss. Editor's note) for masterfully leading this stable, which is as professional as it is friendly. A big thank you also to Eric and the entire organizing team of this wonderful event for the invitation.

"I'm used to winning, but my wife (Laurène Godey) a little less, says Sébastien Loeb to the Swiss media Radio Chablais. So it's a good thing we did it, otherwise I would have gotten yelled at!"
