Frenchman Loeb started the year with a win on Rally Ireland. The Red Bull Citroen ace Loeb beat title rival Finn Mikko Hirvonen in the rally of GB to clinch his six title by a single point as a metal pin costing a couple of pounds helped to decide one of the closest finishes to the World Rally Championship on record.
Loeb had a 30-second lead over closest rival Mikko Hirvonen as he entered the final day of the World Rally Championship season in Wales having led by five seconds from Ford's Mikko Hirvonen at the end of the first leg of the rally which will decide the World championship.
