Loeb Wants More

Loeb wants more Following three consecutive Dakar participations, ten stage victories and a runner-up finish in 2017, Sébastien Loeb will continue his rally-raid career and take part in the 41st edition that will start in Lima. While Peugeot has brought its factory involvement to an end, the rally superstar will drive a Peugeot 3008 prepared by PH Sport in his continuing quest for Dakar glory. Clearly, he still has the desire to win! Just days after winning the Rally RACC Catalunya, his 79th WRC career victory after leaving the championship in 2012, Sébastien Loeb has made a somewhat surprise announcing that he will take part in the 2019 Dakar. Last January, he dropped out of the rally after co- driver Daniel Elena suffered injuries in a hard landing of an acrobatic jump during a stage in the heart of the Tanaka desert dunes in Peru. And it will be on this same type of terrain that he will have to battle if he wants to win his first Dakar, after finishing second in 2017 and where he has won ten stages in three participations. “I like the dunes. The key to success on this type of terrain is not getting stuck in the sand”, says the nine-time WRC champion. “That's what I'm going to focus on during the training. I decided to return to the Dakar at the last minute, but I still have hunger for victory. We will most likely lack some preparation, but I haven’t forgotten everything I have learned over the past three years.” Beyond the lack of preparation compared to his adversaries, Sébastien Loeb is taking on the challenge of competing with a privateer team, namely the PH Sport team that will provide him a 2017 version of the Peugeot 3008, as well as two other cars for Harry Hunt and Pierre Lachaume. “I am ready to take on the challenge, just like I did in my three appearances in the World Rally Championship this year where success was anything but a forgone conclusion”, explains the driver who will take on his former team mates Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz and Cyril Despres, who have all moved to the Mini squad after the withdrawal of the factory Peugeot team, as well as Toyota’s Nasser Al-Attiyah and Giniel de Villiers. “They will be tough competitors. We have no idea how competitive we will be, but several crews will have a chance to win and I hope we will be one of them.” More information : www.dakar.com Press contact - [email protected] .

1968 − 1984 Colin: the Busy Baby by Margaret Mcrae
1968 − 1984 Colin: the busy baby by Margaret McRae Colin Steele McRae was born on August 5, 1968. It was a Monday. He was born in the William Smellie Maternity Hospital in Lanark. And he was a much-wanted child – a first grandchild for my parents, however Jim’s mum and dad already had two. It’s from Jim’s mum that Colin took the name Steele – it was her maiden name. We were living in Blackwood, about five miles from Lanark, in those days. And it was to the house in Vere Road, Blackwood that we would have taken Colin home – if we hadn’t still been renovating the cottage at the time. Instead, we went and stayed with my parents for two or three weeks while we finished the work on the house. This was actually quite a God-send as my dad wasn’t feeling too well at the time and having a newborn baby in the house really took his mind off things. He spent all of his time, just focused on the baby. Right from the off, Colin was a busy baby and, unfortunately for us, not a baby to whom sleep came easily or quickly. I think he stayed in our room for about seven weeks, before we knew the time had come for him to go into his own room. I don’t think Colin really slept through the night completely for about two years. Alister, his younger brother, was something of a revelation by comparison and slept really quickly. It’s fair to say, Colin wasn’t an easy baby.

Motorsport Information
Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Spain Champions, champions, champions, champions*! Ogier/Ingrassia claim fourth WRC title in a row with Volkswagen § Crowned with a win: Ogier/Ingrassia wrap up world title after eleven rallies § Title defence sees champions join Kankkunen and Mäkinen in exclusive club § Match point number two for Volkswagen in the Manufacturers’ Championship Wolfsburg (16 October 2016). Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) were crowned World Rally Champions for the fourth time in a row after taking victory at the Rally Spain. They guided their Volkswagen Polo R WRC to a fifth win of the season in Catalonia, finishing ahead of Dani Sordo/Marc Martí (E/E, Hyundai) und Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul (B/B, Hyundai). Their ninth podium in eleven races triggered wild celebrations. The Frenchmen can no longer be caught at the top of the overall standings in the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Team-mates Andreas Mikkelsen/Anders Jæger (N/N) went into the Rally Spain as their closest rivals in the title race, but the Norwegians’ hopes of winning the championship were dashed when they were forced to retire from the rally. Eighth place in the Manufacturers’ classifications for Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) means Volkswagen is well- placed to claim its fourth Manufacturers’ title in a row next time out at the Rally Great Britain. Kankkunen, Mäkinen and Ogier – up there with the biggest names in rallying 952 days in a row at the top of the table: Sébastien Ogier is only the third World Rally Champion to be crowned champion four years in a row in the pinnacle of rallying, and the fourth four-time world champion in the history of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).

Wales Rally GB 08 Preview
76 th Wales Rally GB (December 4-7, 2008) Citroën targeting the championship double in Wales True to tradition, the grand finale of this year's World Rally Championship will take crews to Great Britain for the Wales Rally GB, the 15 th and ultimate encounter of the season which will settle the outcome of the 2008 Manufacturers' title chase. Having made sure of the Drivers' crown with Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena* in Japan, the Citroën Total squad is particularly fired up as it bids to seal the championship double. C4 WRCs have been entered for the five-time World Champions* and their Spanish team-mates Dani Sordo/Marc Martí. Two other C4 WRCs have been entered to contest the British round. They will be in the hands of Conrad Rautenbach/David Senior and of the recently-crowned Junior World Champions* Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia, and both will be prepared and run by PH Sport with the support of technical staff from Citroën Sport The majority of the route of this year's Wales Rally GB, which provides a little more than 348km of competitive action divided into 19 stages, will take competitors north of the Swansea-based service park, and features several notable changes compared with recent years. These range from a re-mix of familiar forest territory in Resolfen and classics such as Crychan run in the opposite direction, as well as a return to Builth Wells for the first time in eight years. Indeed, the format of this season's edition and its early-December slot inevitably conjure up images of RAC Rallies of the past and the lingering use of the event's former name will rarely have been more justified.

Sébastien Loeb Rejoint La « Dream Team » Du Team Peugeot Total
Sébastien Loeb rejoint la « Dream Team » du Team Peugeot Total Le plus grand pilote de rallye de tous les temps, Sébastien Loeb, va relever l’un des plus grands défis de son exceptionnelle carrière en rejoignant la Dream Team de Peugeot lors du Dakar, qu’il disputera pour la première fois en janvier prochain. Le nonuple champion du monde des rallyes et recordman de la course de Pikes Peak va rallier le commando des PEUGEOT 2008 DKR pour se lancer, en janvier, dans l’extraordinaire aventure que représentent le Dakar et ses treize étapes semées d’embûches en Argentine et en Bolivie. Il rejoindra alors Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz et Cyril Despres afin de composer l’équipe de rêve du Team Peugeot Total. Titulaire d’un taux de réussite sans précédent avec 46,2 % de victoires en WRC, Sébastien Loeb est prêt à relever ce nouveau défi à 41 ans : « Je n’ai découvert le sport automobile qu’à 18 ans lorsque j’ai disputé mes premiers rallyes. Depuis lors, je me suis intéressé à toutes les formes de sport automobile et le Dakar en fait partie. Je pense que c’est un grand défi que de disputer cette épreuve et de piloter dans le désert ». « Le Dakar est très différent du type de courses auxquelles je me consacre en ce moment. Ce sera très long, plus de deux semaines ! et il me faudra de l’endurance pour gérer la voiture sur une telle distance. C’est une autre approche de la course. Je vais découvrir tout ça en janvier .

2018 MEDIA GUIDE Wales Rally GB October 04 - 07, 2018 ROUND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Wales Rally GB October 04 - 07, 2018 HYUNDAI’S HELLO Welcome to Wales for Britain’s round of the 2018 FIA World Rally Championship, which is entering the final and extremely exciting phase. Hayden and Seb’s first podium of the season in Turkey on the last round was a nice moment and a plus following a measured and intelligent drive, but we know we missed out on so much more. Because of that, there has been a shift in the championship battle and we need to bounce back and do so quickly. We will aim to do just that in Wales. Thierry and Nicolas led in Turkey and showed that the pace of our Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC was strong on the very rough stages we found there. The points they scored for winning the Power Stage after an impressive performance showed what might have been and could yet have a crucial bearing in the final championship reckoning. It is unfortunate that Turkey didn’t go to plan for Hyundai Motorsport, but we have to accept the situation and come back fighting; it is what rallying is all about. The positive things are clear: we have a good car, good drivers, Thierry and Nicolas still lead the championship and were competitive on Rally GB last year. Like Thierry and Nicolas, Andreas and Anders also led in Turkey. Andreas spent much of his early career in Wales and has a good knowledge of the terrain and what he needs to do to be quick.
