The rumor has been circulating since this call of the foot de Sébastien Ogier on Twitter. It's now official, Sébastien Loeb will be good at the start of Rally of Portugal (May 19 – 22). The Alsatian, winner of the Monte-Carlo Rally at the start of the season, will obviously line up with the Ford Puma of M-Sport and will be supported by his co-pilot Isabelle Galmiche. “I already raced the Portugal Rally in this region in 2019, so I already have a basis for my grades. This is one of the reasons that pushed me to choose Portugal. The other is that I wanted to do an event on land. I love driving on dirt so it was a pretty easy choice to make.”, said the Frenchman in an M-Sport press release.
Will he reunite with Sébastien Ogier for the return match of the opening round of the season? The Gapençais has not yet confirmed its presence in Lusitanian lands. In the meantime, this adds a new date to Loeb's already extremely busy schedule this season, he who was recently announced in DTM with AF Corse.
