Going back to Loeb's roots

As Sebastien Loeb left the WRC for the final time, DAVID EVANS took a road trip to the French legend's old stamping ground in Alsace and the places where his career began

Found it. This is the road. The one that made a nine-time world rally champion. This is Seb's road. We've all got one of these roads - that favourite stretch of asphalt where parents' cars were regularly taken out, usually under the cover of darkness, and driven harder and faster than they had been during the day. Sebastien Loeb's road is, as you would expect, a good one.
