Loeb takes Rallye Monte Carlo

23 January 2012 | Sebastien Loeb has won his sixth Rallye Monte-Carlo with a dominant display in his Citroen DS3 WRC. 

Beginning the final day of the World Rally Championship qualifier with a lead of 2m41.6s, Loeb completed the challenging run unscathed and victory was all but assured.

Dani Sordo won an exciting battle for second in his MINI John Cooper Works WRC, the marque’s first podium on the legendary event since Rauno Aaltonen took the overall victory in 1967 in a Cooper S.

Petter Solberg bagged the final podium spot on his return to the factory Ford team after an absence of more than a decade.
