During the launch of the Citroen Racing motorsport programme in Abu Dhabi, Sebastien Loeb revealed the four events he will take part to in next year's World Rally Championship.
The nine-time world rally champion will compete in the Rallye Monte Carlo, Sweden, Argentina, before running his very last WRC round on his home soil in France in October.
Loeb also said that he will race in a GT championship, yet to be announced, in order to prepare his new career in road racing, and the arrival of Citroen in the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) for 2014.
It was also announced that Citroen will enter two separate teams next seasons : the Citroen Abu Dhabi WRT, that will run Mikko Hirvonen, Dani Sordo and Sebastien Loeb, and the the Abu Dhabi Citroen Total WRT will run Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi on eight events.
The name of the driver(s) who will drive the DS3 of the second team in the remaining rounds has not be revealed. Thierry Neuville could drive the car at selected WRC events, or for a full season, depending on his budget.
