Loeb took his last season in the rallying world not too seriously, but to end with a crash is perhaps a bit exaggerated.

Only four times appeared the Frenchman this year to the starting line. The pressure is off, because the next season will get Loeb to WTCC. A nice step, but that makes the parting no less hard. Nine times he became world champion, this Schumacher of rallying.

During the rally in home country France it went today is wrong in the first chronorit. The Citroën DS3 WRC slips away on the wet road and ended up upside down in the bushes. Loeb and his co-driver Daniel Elena steps unscathed, but their race is over. An impressive career get to an impressive end.

The trial in the rainy Alsace was won by the other French Sébastien, Ogier. This, he takes the lead in the standings and take over the baton of Loeb as the new world champion.
