In an interview published on Wednesday by Citroen, Yves Matton, the director of Citroen Racing, talked about the future of rally champion Sebastien Loeb with the team.
Loeb recently created its own road racing team which enters cars in the Porsche Cup and endurance series. The rumor says that Loeb will quit the World Rally Champiosnhip at the end of the 2012 season despite the fact that his current contract runs until the end of 2013.
“We are looking at what we can do together in the long term,” Matton said.
“Some people say that Sebastien will remain an ambassador of the Citroen make. But we're not just looking at 2013 and talking with 'Seb' about the 2013 season of the World Rally Champiosnhip but also about the things we can achieve together in the future,” Matton added.
“I've always said that I am not in a hurry. I think the medias are a lot more in a hurry than me. But for the moment, we will not talk about Sebastien's future during the month of August. We are working with him about our long-term relationship. And we are ready to announce the decision, we'll do so,” Matton ended.
