In testing: Loeb's Corsica return

Sébastien Loeb has been back on the French Island of Corsica, home of the Corsica linea - Tour de Corse [5 - 8 april], testing for a round of the WRC he has won on his last four attempts.

Loeb joined his Citroën Total Abu Dhabi team-mate Kris Meeke for three days of testing as the French manufacturer looked to clock up the kilometres ahead of the only all-asphalt rally of the season.

Thanks to spectator-cam, we can see Loeb and Meeke's preparations for the rally in their C3s as the Frenchman gets set to take on the first all-asphalt rally of his 2018 WRC programme.

Meeke kicked off Citroën's test on Wednesday 21 March with Loeb finishing the week alongside co-driver Daniel Elena.

Corsica is the nine-time champion's second event of the season. He stunned his rivals by leading Rally Guanajuato Mexico before finishing fifth after a puncture. He ends his three-round campaign at October's RallyRACC Catalunya - Rally de Espańa.

Loeb goes into the rally on a winning streak having triumphed in Corsica every year between 2005 and 2008 in a Citroën Xsara and the C4.

Meeke will be looking to build on his first podium of 2018 in Mexico with a good result on his second C3 outing on the island.
