Rally superstar Sébastien Loeb has told Autosport he was keen on taking part someday in the famous Dakar Rally.
Frenchman Loeb recently won a ninth consecutive title in the World Rally Championship (WRC), and already announced he would compete in only four WRC events next year.
Instead of defending his title, he will focus on circuit racing with his private team Loeb Racing, and eventually a World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) bid with Citroën.
He recently announced he might also squeeze a participation in the famous Dakar rally-raid into his agenda.
"One day maybe, I would like to go and do Dakar," he told Autosport's website. "This would be a private thing, it would not be something with Citroën."
"But I wouldn't do it with (my wife) Severine, and not with Daniel (Elena, WRC co-driver)… for sure we would be lost," he laughed.
