Rally Mexico’s thin mountain air and searing heat tested both man and machine. Loeb’s unmatched consistency and technical precision saw him control the rally from start to finish, adding yet another victory to his gravel record.
The rally’s stages wound through the Sierra de Lobos and Sierra de Guanajuato ranges, combining dusty mountain climbs with spectacular city center specials. Highlights included:
The high-altitude environment robbed engines of power, placing even more emphasis on corner speed and smooth momentum.
