WRC – Rally Mexico – A Mexican hat-trick for Loeb/Elena and Citroën
The final day of the 2008 World Rally Championship saw Sébastien Loeb, Daniel Elena and Citroën collect their third consecutive Rally Mexico win. Their hat-trick in the land of sombreros takes them to within a single point of the provisional Drivers’ championship leader, while Citroën has made up a little of its deficit in the Manufacturers’ classification.
“The last day featured a little more than 60km of competitive action divided into three stages, plus a final attempt at the super-special in León,” commented Sébastien Loeb. “Despite our overnight lead, we approached today’s leg cautiously because of the risks inherent in being first on the road, like having to sweep a clear line, punctures, etc.”
Despite their apprehension, the World Champions came through the day unscathed and the cancellation of the day’s longest test (SS18) for safety reasons didn’t upset them unduly. Today’s result marks the 38th world class win for Sébastien and Daniel who were given a heroes’ welcome by everyone at Citroën Sport on their return to the Poliforum service park.
