Loeb stays upbeat

Citroen’s Sebastien Loeb hopes his luck will hold as he closes in on his first world rally title.

Loeb currently leads the championship standings, 28 points ahead of closest rival Petter Solberg, with many tipping the Frenchman to be crowned champion this season.

The Citroen driver pushed hard on the Wales Rally GB and looked set to take his sixth victory of the year after leading the event for most of the weekend.
