Loeb set for Le Mans

WORLD rally champion Sebastien Loeb will switch to circuit racing this summer when he takes on the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours.

The Frenchman has agreed to race for Le Mans legend Henri Pescarolo’s Judd-powered team in the June race, as co-driver to Soheil Ayari and Eric Helary.

Loeb follows in the footsteps of former world rally champion Colin McRae, who enjoyed a promising Le Mans debut last year in a GT class Ferrari.
