Sebastien Loeb returning to WRC with Ford from 2022?

Sebastien Loeb is participating this year in the first season of Extreme E with the team of Lewis Hamilton (Team X44), but is also preparing for the next edition of the Dakar with Prodrive. Despite everything, the Alsatian pilot has never hidden his desire to return to WRC. Plus tôt dans l’année, il avait même confié qu’il souhaitait faire une manche en 2021 et que pour cela il appellerait un certain Malcolm Wilson, patron de l’équipe M-Sport.
“We're talking, it's true, but that's all you'll get from me today. », Wilson told our colleagues at Dirtfish.

The new 2022 regulations with the arrival of hybrid cars are clearly of interest to the nine-time WRC world champion
“If someone calls me to come back, I will think about it, admits Loeb. If Malcolm asks me to do a rally and he needs me, so why not? If Malcolm needs someone for a rally, not for the whole season but for half of the season, why not? »

Next year, Ford will abandon the Fiesta for the Puma Rally1. We could thus find Adrien fourmaux and Sebastien Loeb will partially team up during the 2022 WRC season.
