Loeb takes third Corsica win and closes gap to Grönholm
Three times World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb has closed to within four points of Marcus Grönholm after clinching a third consecutive Tour de Corse victory.
The Frenchman won nine of the 15 special stages to finish 23.7 seconds ahead of Grönholm’s Ford Focus. Dani Sordo finished a further 20 seconds behind.
It was Loeb’s seventh victory in 13 rallies and if the Frenchman continues his winning success by taking victory in the next three rally events, Loeb would retain his title.
In order for Grönholm to keep his title ambitions alive, he must finish ahead of the Citroen in the remaining events in this year’s competitive World Rally Championship.
The next rally will take place in Japan at the end of the month.
