Seven-time world rally champion, Citroen driver Sebastien Loeb will join the celebrities in the Grevin Wax Museum on October 13th, becoming the first rally driver to go on display among the 250 figures in the museum.
Loeb was born on 26th February 1974 in Haguenau in the Bas-Rhin department, and today he is the most-titled French rally driver.
It took six months to create his wax double from his first rendezvous with sculptor Stephane Barret and the workshop team.
Loeb found the posing sessions great fun: “I’m very flattered to be part of the Grevin museum. It’s an honour and also recognition for our branch of the sport as one that’s representative of France. I must say that I was very impressed by the amount of work that went into creating my figure in wax. It was really unbelievable!”
Everything has to be studied down to the tiniest detail with the celebrity so that the resemblance is almost disconcerting. This includes the colour of the hair, the eyes, the skin, handprints etc - nothing was left to chance to make Sebastien Loeb even more lifelike than he is in reality!
The wax figure will appear in a driving suit in the colours of Citroën and their partners.
The Grevin, a private museum created in 1882, is in Paris on the ‘Grands Boulevards’ and welcomes almost 800 000 visitors each year.
