Sometimes, you just need to see a proper bit of machinery go incredibly quickly down a rutted dirt track.  Nothing sums that up better than the WRC and this video from last year shows off the talent of the Citroen DS3 rally car.  Enjoy!

Just look at that thing in action! Sebastien Loeb as usual makes it look easy as pie to drive like an absolute god on the most loose surfaces in the world at terrifying speed – whilst the rest of us who know the level of talent it requires simply look on in awe. This new DS3 based WRC car looks the absolute business.

Loeb and Elena - scoring a fourth consecutive win

Here’s the latest news from the WRC 2010:

Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena grabbed their fourth consecutive win in Mexico at the weekend – taking the lead in the 2010 Driver’s World Championship in the process. Petter Solberg (second) and Sébastien Ogier (third) occupied the other places on the podium – both of them driving a Citroën C4 WRC.

Olivier Quesnel, the Citroën Racing Team Principal said, “They did a fantastic job on the second day and that’s where they consolidated this mind-boggling victory. The C4 WRCs have dominated this rally as they set all the quickest times. They also scored the first triple by a French manufacturer in a gravel rally. I’d also like to congratulate Petter Solberg and Sébastien Ogier for their great duel in the best possible sporting tradition.”

”This victory’s done us a power of good,” Loeb confirmed before stepping up onto the podium. “We controlled our race well and I think that we can look forward to the next events with confidence, as they’ll be run on similar surfaces. Thanks to this victory we’ve taken the lead in the championship and opened up a small gap over Mikko Hirvonen. It’s a good situation even if we’ll have to sweep the road in Jordan.” The next event is Rally Jordan from 1st – 3rd April.
