Loeb looking forward to being in New Zealand

After a year of absence, the rally of New Zealand is back on the calendar this season. An atypical event that the eight-time world champion appreciates, even if he admits to having already experienced some difficulties on the bumpy roads around Auckland. “ The roads are fast and driving there is very interesting, comments Sébastien Loeb. It's always a rally where a lot of things happen, sometimes in my favor, sometimes a little less, but it's an interesting rally. The roads are really very bumpy, so you have to drive in a very particular way. Driving in New Zealand is different, particularly because of the road conditions. It is also unique because it is a distant destination, the journey is very long. However, the scenery is spectacular with some incredible places ».
