How Sebastien Loeb Actually Won Rallye Monte-Carlo 👑

📺 Watch Rallye Monte-Carlo on Red Bull TV: win.gs/wrc-montecarlo
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?

[@TheNotoriousT]

@@potatogirlcultist19 Put Ogier to run 1st on Friday and you will see how "easy" it is to win as championship leader.

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

[@TeeloSeyna]

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

[@rhodigian]

he was a gymnast before being a pilot, and he 's still got it

[@singularity6305]

Backflip at the age of 47))

[@chicobicalho5621]

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...

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.

[@drazenbudis7881]

Well to be fair, full time drivers this season are only humans afterall

[@iare19]

@@drazenbudis7881 I agree, Monte is both Seb's home rally but there was only 1 full time driver in competition and that's sad. Talking about Evans. Other guys should really step up or this thing gets boring really fast.

[@bett431]

Well, the other drivers were fighting their own cars instead of driving a rally. Also Loeb and Ogier seemed to have a good tests, Loeb also said that he got a lot of sleep at dakar, so he wasnt tired and Isabelle also did a great job. And with together 16 wins between the 2, it would ve been more surprising if they werent on the podium tbh.

[@Nyahnator]

I don't think any drivers have to be ashamed. Loeb is just incredibly good and I bet every one of those other drivers strive to be that good too. No need to call anybody out

[@DropkickNation]

Losing to God is nothing to be ashamed of.

[@chicobicalho5621]

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.

[@PierreDaval]

To be fair Ogier had a new co-driver too

[@Franko384]

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.

[@chicobicalho5621]

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!

[@Franko384]

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!

[@chicobicalho5621]

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.

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.)

[@Captn_Slow]

And a few days later, Loeb beat another Seb again to win the ROC. The greatest Seb of the three?

[@tonypowers123]

As in many other sports, it’s unending debate. The Greatest, who, why, this that. You can’t put an “official title” on who the greatest is in WRC. For me he is , and he may not be for someone else. But, what he’s achieved in his career is unthinkable. He’ll probably be winning Monte Carlo even if he comes back after 10 years! ❤

[@manuelcaldicot852]

Grande Loeb, el mejor piloto de la historia . Ogier copiaba los neumáticos de Loeb pero al final Loeb cambio de gomas y Ogier pinchó ya que copió las que Loeb puso de cebo , cierto que Ogier dijo que copiaba a Loeb . Fue un gran Rally por la presencia de Loeb

[@gontran8638]

Ogier was faster tho, he was about 20 seconds ahead before the puncture. Then he lost 30 seconds, and had a 9 or 10 seconds deficit before the final stage if I'm not mistaken. Without his jump-start, he would have finished just behind Loeb because he gained back 9 seconds on the final stage

[@chicobicalho5621]

The two greatest race car drivers of all time, Jim Clark and Sebastien Loeb, had three characteristics in common; they were very fast, very intelligent, and both were very humble.

[@ajrichar0]

He didn't have the pace once Ogier turned the wick up on Saturday, but he was always there or thereabouts. The puncture lost Ogier the rally as he had Loeb's measure. But Loeb was best of the rest, which is extraordinary for a driver who has not been a championship regular for almost a decade. He has skill, experience and class that came to the fore on the Monte and showed up all the championship regulars. Exceptional.

[@manuelcaldicot852]

Pinchó porque copió las gomas de Loeb , las copió en todos los tramos, pero Loeb cambio de gomas en último momento y Ogier no sabe que neumáticos usar . Ogier reconoció que es un tramposo y que Loeb es el mejor piloto de rally , Loeb es el mejor de la historia

[@iare19]

Loeb put Ogier under pressure so Ogier made a mistake a had a puncture. It was all mental pressure and Ogier lost the battle.
