Sebastien Loeb Citroen DS4 WTCC Concept
Re: Sebastien Loeb Citroen DS4 WTCC Concept
The Brand has also announced that it is considering entering the WTCC with you. Who decided that you should go down that road?
[Sebastien Loeb] “In the last few months, I have held lots of discussions with Frédéric Banzet and Yves Matton. Over the last ten years, I could have taken up offers to go elsewhere, but I have always preferred to stay with the team that gave me my chance. When we started talking about the role of ambassador that I might have in the future, I quickly felt that I would need an active role to feel completely satisfied. Given that I wanted to pursue my career in track racing, we came up with this idea together. After considering the various racing categories, the WTCC emerged as the best option. There are still a number of variables and imponderables in the equation, but I am excited about the prospect of competing in this championship.”
