His form for Citro\u00ebn since winning his first title in 2004 was one of utter domination. That was the first of nine successive titles and Loeb has won more WRC events than anyone else \u2013 78 by the time he reduced his schedule in 2013. He made a part-time return to the WRC in 2018 and won Rally Catalunya to further extend that record tally. He also almost won the Le Mans 24 Hours and has been a world touring car team owner in recent years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Early competitive career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His competitive instincts were evident as soon as he was old enough to ride a moped \u2013 racing his classmates near his home in Alsace. Trained as an electrician, he was also competing in local races and rallies by 1995 \u2013 twice taking part in the Rallye Jeunes at Paul Ricard.<\/p>\n<p>The French motorsport industry began to recognise Loeb\u2019s talent and he was named as 1997\u2019s most promising driver by Echappement magazine. That was also the year that he formed a partnership with long-term co-driver Daniel Elena.<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Rally Championship with Citro\u00ebn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With support from the FFSA, Loeb made his WRC debut on the 1999 Catalunya Rally driving a Citro\u00ebn Saxo Kit Car. He was a member of the works team within two years and scored his breakthrough victory on the 2002 Rally Deutschland. He eclipsed Carlos Sainz\u2019s previous record of 26 WRC victories on the 2006 Rally Japan and continued to dominate until 2012.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second in the Le Mans 24 Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aside from his rallying career, Loeb turned his attention to France\u2019s greatest race in 2005 \u2013 the Le Mans 24 Hours. Always adept on tarmac rallies, it is no surprise that he was not out-of-place in circuit racing. He shared a Pescarolo C60H-Judd with Soheil Ayari and Eric H\u00e9lary in the race and, despite limited track time due to the clashing Turkish Rally (which he won), Loeb impressed as he learnt the Circuit de la Sarthe. Ayari qualified the car in second position but they suffered a troubled race and eventually crashed out in the 20th hour.<\/p>\n<p>Loeb returned for the 2006 Le Mans 24 Hours with H\u00e9lary and Franck Montagny completing another all-French driving squad. Audi dominated the race although, when some of the German cars were delayed in the pits, the slower but reliable Pescarolo snatched a fine second position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Formula 1 and the World Touring Car Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He tested for the Red Bull F1 team at Barcelona in November 2008 but rumours that he would race for the sister Scuderia Toro Rosso concern at the 2009 Abu Dhabi GP did not materialise.<\/p>\n<p>Loeb reduced his WRC schedule from 2013 as he entered the World Touring Car Championship as team owner and driver \u2013 winning two of the four rallies he contested that year. He scored six WTCC race wins during 2014 and 2015 and was classified third overall on both occasions before again moving onto pastures new. Loeb joined Peugeot in 2016 to compete on the Dakar Rally and in the World Rallycross Championship. He finished ninth on the former and won the Latvian WRX round in October. Loeb was awarded the L\u00e9gion d\u2019Honneur in 2009.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Successful WRC return<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Second on the 2017 Dakar Rally, Loeb rejoined Citro\u00ebn for three rounds of the 2018 World Rally Championship. Fifth in Mexico and frustrated in his home event, Loeb stunned the regulars in Catalunya by beating Ford S\u00e9bastien Ogier and Elfyn Evans to record his 79th WRC victory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extreme E<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Loeb was announced as the male driver for Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s X44 Extreme E team. The series is set for its first season in 2021.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-down expanding-content__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read full bio<\/a>\n                        <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-up expanding-content__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read Less<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n                                \n   <\/div>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding-bottom database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"championship-seasons\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"driver-seasons-table\" data-driver-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"non-championship-races\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        \n<header class=\"content-header content-header--alt\">\n\n    <h2 class=\"content-header__small-title sanomat u-bold \">\n                Non Championship Races\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"content-header__dropdown database-table-collapsible__toggles proxima\">\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Show<\/a>\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Hide<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/header><div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"driver-races-table\" data-driver-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"teams\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        \n<header class=\"content-header content-header--alt\">\n\n    <h2 class=\"content-header__small-title sanomat u-bold \">\n                Teams\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"content-header__dropdown database-table-collapsible__toggles proxima\">\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Show<\/a>\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Hide<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/header><div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"driver-teams-table\" data-driver-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n                            <section class=\"c-broadcast-space content-section block_5fc172d85c387_leaderboardtop div-gpt-ad-1563288058060-1\" data-target=\"ad-container\">\n            <div class=\"container container--full-mobile\">\n                <aside class=\"broadcast-space \">\n            <div class=\"broadcast-space__element\" id=\"div-gpt-ad-1563288058060-1\" data-behaviour=\"ad-target\"><\/div>\n    <\/aside>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n    \n\n    <section\n        class=\"c-latest-products latest-products content-section\"\n        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n        data-automation-type=\"related-products\"\n        data-tags=\"[&quot;Sebastien Loeb&quot;]\"\n        data-current-post=\"30129\"><\/section>\n\n\n        <section class=\"c-article-listing article-listing content-section\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <header class=\"content-header\">\n    <div class=\"content-header__intro user-content\">\n        <h1 class=\"content-header__title sanomat\">Related articles<\/h1>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-header__button\">\n            <a class=\"button button--outline button--full\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\">\n                View all\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/header>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"content-section__inner-content container\">\n            <div class=\"article-grid article-grid--no-ads\">\n                <div class=\"article-grid__wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"article-grid__nested-grid\">\n                        <div class=\"article-grid__column\">\n                                                            \n\t\n\n<article class=\"article-item \">\n\n\t\n\t\t<a class=\"article-item__link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/articles\/single-seaters\/f1\/mark-hughes-hungarian-gp-was-about-driving-and-piastri-was-miles-off-norris\/\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-item__image article-item__image--cropped\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n            <source type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lando-Norris-with-winners-trophy-from-2026-F1-Hungarian-GP-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" height=\"253\" width=\"450\" alt=\"Mark Hughes: Hungarian GP was about driving &#8211;
