Loeb: “There are no secrets between the drivers” at Hyundai
To start the 2020 World Rally Championship season (WRC) in Monte-Carlo, Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena swapped number 19 for 9, the number of world titles acquired between 2004 and 2012.
The duo, in contention for an eighth victory on the rally the most tricky of the calendar, approaches the test with serenity. "I'm not the only one who knows how to win here, says Sébastien Loeb. My teammates have quite a bit of experience.

We try to share our information, the goal is to improve the car and the performance of the team. There are no secrets between the pilots, we do everything possible. »
The rally opens this Thursday January 23 with two night specials. Strategy could play a major role from the first kilometers according to the Alsatian. “For me, the two ES will be new. The first one (Malijai-Puimichel, 17,47 km from 20:38 p.m.) was totally dry in recognition, there was nothing special to report.
On the other hand, the ES2 (Bayons-Bréziers, 25,49 km from 22:26 p.m.) was very perilous, even during reconnaissance. I don't know how icy or dry the road will be. There will be sections covered in ice, perhaps the choice of tires will be the first headache this evening. » First verdict to follow with AUTO’s live texthebdo.Fr !
