In the world of rallying, it doesn’t get any bigger than Sebastien Loeb and Dani Sordo and Buenos Aires awoke to the loud drumming of the turbo charged rally cars racing through the streets. Over 50,000 fans gathered on Saturday to gain a feeler of things to come days before the rally gets underway in the Cordoba province of Argentina. 
The Citroen road show took off on a purpose0built 300-meter stage around the Spanish Monument in the Palermo area of the city. Along with co-drivers Daniel Elena and Marc Marti, Loeb and Sordo put out a sensational display of driving ability for the people gathered around.
“Rally Argentina is always a highlight of the season, because of the very warm welcome we receive and the great atmosphere over all three days of the event,” said Loeb.
“The Citroen Road Show event really gave us a valuable opportunity to get close to the public and I think they were able to get a good idea of the potential of our cars. The whole event was a real celebration, which we all enjoyed every bit as much as the people watching us.”

I can't understand why pelope are comparing him to Loeb, McCrae and spouting all the negativity that he's too old etc. First off, he never said he was better than anyone else, all he said is that he has loads to learn. What's wrong with that? Secondly, if I were 55 and my dream was to drive in WRC and I got the opportunity I would take it. You live once. Let him race. Whether he wins or loses has nothing to do with any of us
