Memories of life with Loeb
As Sebastien Loeb prepares for his final WRC farewell, AUTOSPORT rallying editor DAVID EVANS picks his nine most memorable moments from chasing Loeb around the world

Sebastien Loeb is leaving the building. Come Sunday, to the rallying world he'll be just a nine-time world champion has-been.
I've been fortunate enough to report on every one of Loeb's 78 World Rally Championship wins, and I've only missed out on a handful of his 167 starts. He's been there throughout my career as a World Rally reporter and I'll admit there have been times - particularly in 2006, '08 or '10 - when I honestly wondered if we'd be better off without him.
