  6. Honors: • What a bummer being a driver! Among the many dreams which haunt the average man’s nights, being a professional driver is likely to come in first.As in a dream, you are apt to imagine the most attractive aspects of the job: business class flights, limousines at the airport, luxury hotels and top models ready to throw themselves at your feet In brief, a star life! Not only the reality is quite far from the dream, but it also makes you realize that sometimes the pleasure can be paid the full price. Indeed, the dream disregards -among other things- the amount of work the high-level requires. Here is a small photo gallery to come back down to Earth and to remind you that as regards motor sports, the hassle is never very far. But don’t let this reality keeping you from dreaming!

  7. 2002–2003 2002 would be Loeb's first season as a WRC driver with the Citroën Total World Rally Team, although the team only disputed a limited number of rounds in the build-up to their full entry the following year. He won the Rally Germany, the first event of his flourishing career, although on road he also won the season-opening Rally Monte Carlo. His victory was taken away by a controversial time penalty after the last stage, which gave victory to second placed Tommi Mäkinen. In 2003, his first full season in the championship, Loeb won three WRC events before losing to Petter Solberg in Wales Rally Great Britain and also losing the championship to Solberg by just one point. Loeb's reputation grew as he defeated his more illustrious team mates - Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae - over the course of the season.

  8. 2008 • Loeb started the 2008 season with a record fifth win in Monte Carlo.[6] On the second rally of the year, 2008 Swedish Rally, Loeb crashed out during day one. Although he re-joined the rally to collect manufacturers' points, the team later decided to retire him due to a damaged engine.
