How the Loeb factor struck again in Wales
Petter Solberg may have made a fight of it, but in the end there was only man who could rightfully take the honour of winning the final World Rally Car-specifiation event on the global stage - Sebastian Loeb
Which is better, 10 from 16 or eight from 13? No doubt somebody can do the maths and tell me the numbers. In all honesty, it doesn't matter; Sebastien Loeb's win ratios from 2005 and this year are both astonishing.
The one person who probably won't be able to give us the numbers is the man himself. For someone who has won 62 rounds of the world championship - more than twice that of anybody else - Loeb is fantastically relaxed about his records.
