Story from www.wrc.com
WRC legends Loeb and Elena have bossed this year’s title chase and have built a 54-point lead heading to next week’s Wales Rally GB.
In a poll on WRC.com, users were asked whether Loeb and Elena were in the clear in the race for this year’s title and an astounding 95 per cent believed the drivers’ and co-drivers’ awards are bound for France and Monaco respectively.
Although Elena isn’t getting carried away by the prospects of yet more silverware, Loeb concedes a ninth championship is getting close. “As each rally goes by, we are getting closer to our goal of a ninth title,” he said. “With a 54-point lead and four races left, things are looking good.”
Speaking at the finish on ADAC Rallye Deutschland last month where Loeb headed Mikko Hirvonen in a Citroen one-three, team principal Yves Matton said: “We have further extended our lead in the world championship standings. We might even be able to wrap up the manufacturers’ title at Wales Rally GB.”
