Loeb wins German Rally
Sebastien Loeb won the German Rally on Sunday to increase his lead in the World Rally Championship to 29 points. The Frenchman, driving for Citroen, recorded a total time of four hours one minute 57.4 seconds to beat his nearest rival, Ford driver Francois Duval, by 29.1 seconds.
Loeb’s Citroen team-mate, Carlos Sainz, was third with the second Ford of Markko Martin in fourth. After 10 rounds Loeb leads the overall standings on 76 points, with Martin on 47 and Sainz a point further back.
