Sebastien Loeb scores another podium for Peugeot

The ninth round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship in Latvia was extremely closely-fought, to the extent that the winning margin in one of the Qualifying races was just 0.009 seconds - or 23cm on track! In the end, it was another podium for Team Peugeot Total, with Sebastien Loeb taking third position, his third straight podium finish in Riga and sixth of the season so far.

On top of that, all three Peugeot 208 WRX lined up together in the Final; a great achievement for Peugeot in only its first year in this complex discipline. Even if the Final race didn't entirely go to plan for Timmy Hansen and Kevin Hansen, who finished fifth and sixth respectively, it was still a strong team showing, with a useful points haul.

Loeb was the second-best points-scorer of the weekend, while Team Peugeot Total scored more points (45) than any other team in Riga. Peugeot Sport remains in line with its target of challenging for wins, and there is still plenty to hope for from the next adventure in the U.S.A.
