With mixed fortunes for the man who announced the color at the start of the year by making sure he’ll only have a few races this season again in the World Rally Championship. In the principality, the man who is now also competing in a rally raid and in the Extreme E Championship, won a sumptuous duel with his compatriot and eight-time world champion Sebastien Ogier. In Portugal, on the other hand, Loeb had a dark weekend, as he had to give up the rally on both days due to mechanical issues. Finally, in Kenya, where it came so close to hitting a zebra, the home of Haguenau, who in Monte Carlo with an 80th win to his credit more than three years after his last success, was the biggest winner in history. to gain eighth place. For his return to Greece, in a career that hasn’t always brought him luck in the past, he will certainly be keen to play the leading roles once again.
