How Sebastien Loeb Actually Won Rallye Monte-Carlo 👑

Now that the dust has settled on what was a frantic weekend, the first event of the 2022 World Rally Championship will no doubt go down in history as one of the most mesmerising editions to date.

New cars, new technology, new regulations: it all meant that it was a blank slate for the teams. And, when all was said and done it was the greatest of all time, Sebastien Loeb, at the age of 47 who walked away from the south of France clutching yet another of those coveted Monte-Carlo crowns.

But, how did he do it?

The answer is simple. He's Sebastian Loeb!

[realgrove]

It didn't matter which Seb won, both proved that the young fellas have a lot of catching up to do if they want to catch a pair of older part-timers.

To put things into perspective, Loeb last full time competitive season before this was in 2012 and yet he still wins the rally. AMAZING, just AMAZING. Really shows what a talent Loeb was and still is

Red Bull is super lucky to have not only one, TWO legendary Sebastian in motorsports.

I come back to this video from time to time.

This imo is one of the greatest WRC Rounds of all time. Loeb, after beeing semi retired for years, races a new car with a new navigator. He went second in the dakar Rally right before and had no prep Time too. Seeing him take the fight to Ogier and the Toyotas was epic.

Of course he is the GoAT. Perhaps the greatest racing driver of all time, period, not just the greatest rally driver. What he did in Monte Carlo this year, is the equivalent of Alain Prost coming out of retirement for one race in 2004 (after 10 years, and at 47, what a coincidence...), and beaten Michael Schumacher. In my opinion that would be an impossibility, but then again, Loeb is nothing short of a sacred monster; so cool, so humble and so focused. Now he should get back to Pikes Peak and recoup his record from that ridiculous electric water pistol from VW...

[TheRONAN]

He is the greatest, his record speaks for itself.

[chicobicalho]

If there was ever any sliver of doubt as to Loeb's greatness, this rally erased it definitively. Winning with a new team in a new car, with a new co-driver, against Ogier who had the familiar team and co-driver (yes, new hybrid car), in such difficult and varied conditions was nothing short of unbelievable. Which makes me wonder if all the cars he drove, since he retired 10 years ago (!) were not sub-par, and now he finally got a fast car he won as he had always done while at Citroën.

2022 brought two amazing surprises on the world of sports in regards to "old folks" giving us, grey haired dudes a sense of pride; Loeb winning the Monte Carlo WRC event age 47, and Kelly Slater winning the Pipeline WCT event age 50! And both events happened within days of each other!

[TeeloSeyna]

At 30 seconds he is doing a backflip….. this guy is a machine

[Franko]

For me, this will go down as one of the best WRC Rounds of all time.

Seeing these two semi retired giants of rallying battle for the win in the new cars on such an iconic event was awesome!

[iare]

Dude came from sleeping in desert for 3 weeks, had what 3 days off, jumped into the car he barely had tested and won. Not to mention he did it with new co-driver who doesn't have a lot of WRC experience.
Full time drivers should be ashamed and have a proper look in the mirror.

[waynemangan]

I used to root against Loeb Back when he'd beat everyone so handily it seemed, but I'm so happy to see an Rally legend like Loeb take Monte Carlo yet again!

[garinakbar]

If I have to put rally drivers in top 3
1. Sebastien Loeb
2. Sebastien Ogier
3. Tommi Makinen

These trios are the embodiment of completeness, fearless, finesse, and composed. They were all won in all surfaces in WRC (mud, dirt, gravel, snow, dry tarmac, wet tarmac, snowy tarmac etc.)

[chicobicalho]

Sebastien Loeb and Jim Clark were the two greatest race car drivers in history. Both of them had one similar characteristic besides being very fast; they were humble and unpretentious.

[tontonjeje]

Merci Sébastien, toujours un plaisir de te voir piloter comme ça, du bonheur pour les yeux les oreilles le moral, ça devrait être remboursé😂😂par la secu.. le meilleur pour toi pour la suite...🎉🎉🎉

[jimmy]

This video is way better than WRC's official one.

[jasonsaunders]

the new era of the wrc vechicles are simply stunning the yaris and puma are eye catchers especially.much respect for Sabastien Loeb an amazing driver:)

[MotoPasjeKamila]

I was never a LOEB fan, and Ive witnesed his carrere since his first win in Deutschland 2002. So - once again - as not being his fan for a spectator/journalist - for me LOEB is the GOAT in Rallying.
