Loeb sets new record after win in Japan



After Sebastien Loeb's win in Rally Japan, he has surpassed Carlos Sainz's record of 26 WRC wins. That puts him in first place with 27 WRC wins to his credit, at only 32 years of age. In 2005, he also scored a record by winning 10 FIA World Rally Championship events and on that year he managed to win 6 rallies in a row, yet another record.

His co-driver Daniel Elena is equally pleased as he continue to earn co-driver championship points. Elena broke Luis Moya's record by winning his 25th win in Italy this year. His win in Japan makes it the 27th for the record. Together with Loeb, the duo can very well be on a long streak of winning record.

Congratulations Sebastien and Daniel!
