Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, for a shocking announcement: Sébastien Loeb (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sebastien+loeb/) has won the 2012 World Rally Championship (http://autoblog.com/tag/wrc) title, and his Red-Bull-sponsored Citroën (http://autoblog.com/category/citroen) team took home the manufacturer's trophy.
For those keeping track, this is Loeb's ninth WRC title, and the season-clinching win at Rally France - in front of fans from his hometown of Haguenau, no less - marks the 75th time Loeb has driven to victory in the series. So dominant was Loeb in 2012 that his title has been secured with two races remaining on the calendar.
Sébastien Loeb has announced that he will be in something of a retirement mode in 2013, but it remains to be seen what the 38-year-old Frenchman will do with all his new-found spare time.WRC crowns driver and manufacturer champs, any guesses who?
