LOEB GRABS HYUNDAI WRC DRIVE

French legend ties up deal for six 2019 rounds

Hyundai is hoping Sebastien Loeb’s arrival will be enough to deliver the South Korean marque’s first World Rally Championship title.

Hyundai returned to the WRC in 2014 and, while it has scored event wins, season-long glory has evaded the Germanbased team. Loeb is confident he can deliver when he makes his debut in an i20 Coupe WRC at next month’s Monte Carlo Rally.
