 Sebastien Loeb: the Group B Audi Sport quattro S1 was a dream but I prefer World Rally Cars

In a recent interview with Eurosport France Sebastien Loeb admitted to being a fan of the Audi Sport quattro S1 but he prefers the WRC cars of today, and also states he isn't nostalgic for rallying in the 70s and 80s.

Loeb commented about rallying in the 70s and 80s during the interview with Eurosport France:

I was not a fan of rallying in the 70s and 80s, because I only truly discovered that period when I began my career in the 90s. I do not know much about the history of rallying in the 70s and 80s as that was a different era. 

But there was one car that left no one indifferent. What car?  the  Group B Audi Sport quattro S1, which was a dream. But today, our cars go much faster than they did during that time and I think our WRC cars are much more pleasant to drive. So I have no nostalgia!"

    Doesn’t really suprise me. Loeb is very neat and perfect like a surgeon. He is used to the C4 which is a scalpel, whereas the S1 is more of a chain saw.

  2. I hope hes not being mis qouted… I would like to think that rally today wouldnt be where it is without the sacrfices and hard work of the group b rally drivers and their teams… Bring an authentic Group B Rally car and a newer rally car to a parking lot and see what one gets the most attemtion…
