Sebastien Loeb has no plans to return to the WRC this year, despite hopes that he could contest selected events with M-Sport:
Rally legend Sebastien Loeb says he has “no plan at the moment” to return to the World Rally Championship for selected events this season.The nine-time world rally champion contested four WRC rounds with M-Sport Ford last year, which included a memorable victory at Monte Carlo. The Frenchman also led in Portugal and Greece before being forced to retire.
M-Sport stated in March that it would only consider adding to its two car WRC line-up if it needed to take points from its rivals to assist lead driver’s title push. Tanak is currently 42 points away from championship leader Toyota’s Kalle Rovanpera. He also affirmed that his return to Extreme E, the all-electric series he won last year, is a one-off.“The plan at the moment is to come for one race,” he said. “I had this proposition and Cupra asked me if I would be happy to do one round and I said yes. That is where we are at the moment and there is no plan for the future.”
