That's Alain Delon! :p

Loeb has nothing of value to bring to the sport from a driving perspective... apart from tarnishing his legacy.
I think if he is careful and picks just the rallies he stands a good chance of winning, ie Monte, Germany, Argentina etc. Then as long as he is well prepared and gets a good road position, he has a chance? And it certainly seems Citroen are using him for some positive PR for a change.

Don't know who to credit for this, but be sure to turn on the subtitles ;)
The part where he is describing the sliding and bouncing is on point! haha.
Hell, as long as we're plugging rally themed Hitler Rants, here's mine from way back in February, when they cancelled that stage in Sweden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2gcWcyMjjs
Loeb was always clever and wise; if he decides to return we can be sure he’ll be able to win, as there’s no one better than himself to judge how competitive he can still be.
On the L’Equipe piece, Dominique Heintz, one of Loeb’s mentors and current partner on SL Racing, was pretty realistic about Loeb's personal risk: ”I would tend to think that he leaved rally too earlier and I’ve said to him that a comeback shouldn’t be thought lightly.(...) If he returns to rally and starts winning like before he’ll be a megastar. But if that doesn’t happen it may become very hard for him to cope with it.”
Like everybody else, I’m pretty excited with the news and truly hoping he’ll be in WRC next year. It’s hard not to think on Lauda’s F1 ’84 epic title and believe Loeb can be equally well succeeded. It’d be great for him; it’d be great for WRC. Fingers crossed!
