Sébastien Loeb
Incredible attention to detail
Sébastien Loeb is a nine-time World Rally Champion. He owes this not only to his undoubted talent at the wheel, but also to his incredible attention to detail, his capacity to remember the smallest of details of the roads he competes on. Modest and yet determined, he is a true legend in the world of rallying. He remains one of the France’s favourite sports personalities.
‘I do not have any secret, but I would say that in automotive sports talent is the principal aspect. You need to work in order to progress and it requires a lot of motivation.’
The very essence of a racing driver
Competing in several different categories, Loeb is THE ultimate racing driver. He has had ample opportunity to show off his versatility in the 24 Heures du Mans competition and at the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), in which he took part in 2014. He joined forces with Peugeot for the high-energy RX Rallycross World Championship and won the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb with the same team in 2013. He then drove for Peugeot in four Dakars, finishing third in 2019. As four-time winner of the Race of Champions, this Champion of Champions is undeniably the world’s greatest all-round driver.
