Nine-time world rally champion Sébastien Loeb didn't have to wait long before the first win of his new GT career.
The Frenchman scaled his rally effort down to a part-time schedule for 2013, in order for his circuit racing programme to expand.
Driving his own McLaren MP4-12C, he prevailed alongside teammate Alvaro Parente in the qualifying race of the 2013 FIA GT Series' first weekend.
Loeb pulled a late overtaking move on Niki Mayr-Melnhof's WRT Audi R8 for the win. Maximilian Buhl and Alan Day (No. 1 HTP Gravity Charouz Mercedes) complete the podium.
