Citroen Racing boss Oliver Quensel has said that their star driver Sebastian Loeb could possibly stay in the WRC until the end of 2012, if the new DS3 WRC campaign proves to be successful.
Rumours circulated earlier this year that Loeb would retire from the sport at the end of 2011, but Loeb stated that he hadn’t confirmed that he would retire next year, but instead said that he did not know what he was doing himself.
“I don’t know, we will have to see. The one thing I can say is that I won’t continue for a long time from now, that’s for sure. I don’t know what is the plan, the plan is to drive next year and if I enjoy and still have some fun, then who knows.” said the seven-times World Champion.
Quesnel says that it is strongly possible that he would continue into 2012, if the all-new DS3 WRC proves to be as successful as its predecessor, the all-conquering C4 WRC.
“You can be sure that, if Seb is going well next year, he will stay for 2012. But if he has some problems or if he thinks he is not the best then he will stop. Right now, he doesn’t know himself when he will stop, but he is certainly still enjoying it” Quesnel said.
