Sebastien Loeb wins Rally of Germany
Veteran race driver from France, Sebastien Loeb, has once again proved that he is the best when it comes to Rally racing. In a recent Championship which was held in Germany, Sebastien showed his class and dominance over his vehicle and proved that he has all the capacity for defending his World Champion title.
The victory in the Rally of Germany was a pretty convincing one for the World Champion driver, as he outclassed all the other racers and grabbed his eighth career success. Loeb, who drives for the Citroen factory team, thrashed and dominated the racing podium perfectly. He finished the race with a remarkable time difference of 51.3 seconds ahead of the second spot holder, veteran Spaniard driver Dani Sordo. Dani Sordo was challenged and tailed by another French ace racer Sebastien Ogier. Later in the race Ogier finished third in the Championship. It was a good day for the Citroen team as two of its drivers finished in the top five. Petter Solberg from Citroen factory team finished at the fifth spot whereas the ace driver from Finland, Matti Latvala showed his class and energetic approach by finishing in fourth place.
It was a very good race for the current World Champion rally driver, Loeb, because it has shown the World he can still win and has all the abilities to defend his title. The victory in the Rally of Germany is the fifth victory for the racer in a season. Loeb has no doubt successfully defended his World title crown and now he is ahead of his veteran rival, Sebastien Ogier, by fifty-eight points. The next race will be held in Japan in September and the large point-difference between the two top racers will ease the pressure for the current number one racer. This will help Loeb to stay calm and focus on the race. It will give him a strong boost to his performance rather than racing aggressively.
It is also to be remembered that the 36-year old French World Champ veteran driver has opted for Formula 1 racing as well. He has tested himself at different occasions with the Renault team. He has also proved his capability in a test drive for the renowned Red Bull team of Formula 1 racing team. His test drives, experience, and, his sheer devotion to racing is strong proof of his future targets in the racing world. Loeb is no doubt trying to enter into Formula 1, which will bring a new and unexpected change in his career. Loeb as already tried and worked to make his Formula 1 debut in the month of November 2009 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix but failed to accomplish the planned goals. So far he is working hard to acquire the Formula 1 racing license but his fate is not helping him well as he has very little experience in Formula 1 racing.
Coming back to the Rally racing, Sebastien Loeb is feeling confident about the upcoming race in Japan. While talking about the German rally he expressed his views very happily and told the media that it was a very good day for him as everything went according to his plans. He added that he is feeling great as every victory gives him a new life and vision to race better in the future. Loeb is now just two victories away from another marvellous title.
