9-time WRC champion Loeb was in the limelight during this weekend. He came back to the world championship with a short program of three rallies. The first of them was Mexico. Loeb repeated several times that he had no particular aims and did not know how he would go against the rest of the field. If it was not for a puncture, it could have been a fairytale comeback. Still, Loeb and co-driver Daniel Elena are fifth in the race. Their next appearance will be on Rally Tour de Corse.
?? Big congrats also to @SebastienLoeb and @DanosElena for their fifth place overall and their amazing performance throughout the week-end here at @RallyMexico! What a comeback! Cant’ wait to Corsica! ???#WRC #C3WRC #Legend pic.twitter.com/WlbBv6LmeE
