2004
In 2004, Loeb dominated the WRC-scene in a similar way to the Michael Schumacher domination of Formula One the same year, by winning six events and earning many podium finishes in other events to securely give him the driver's title. Michael Schumacher (German pronunciation;) (born January 3, 1969, in Hürth-Hermülheim, Germany) is a former Formula He was also responsible for Citroën's second manufacturer's title in a row.
Originally known as a tarmac specialist, 2004 was the year he proved to the world he could do it all. He won the Uddeholm Swedish Rally, becoming the first non-Nordic to win the event. The Uddeholm Swedish Rally (Svenska rallyt formerly the Swedish Rally, is an Automobile rally competition held in Värmland, Sweden The Nordic countries make up a region in Northern Europe called the Nordic region, consisting of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, He also won many gravel and tarmac rallies such as Telstra Rally Australia and Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo .

The Monte Carlo Rally (officially Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo) is a Rallying event organized each year by the Automobile Club de Monaco who also organize He was in a position to clinch the title while leading Wales Rally Great Britain, but after it was announced that the last two stages of the rally would be abandoned due to the death of Michael Park in an accident on stage 15, Loeb deliberately incurred a two minute penalty to drop him to third place and avoid retaining his title in such circumstances. Wales Rally GB is the largest and most high profile motor rally in the United Kingdom. Michael Park ( June 22 1966 - September 18 2005) was a rally Co-driver from Newent in Gloucestershire

The Tour de Corse - Rallye de France is a rally race first held in 1956 on the island of Corsica. This was his ninth victory of the year, and victory on Rally Catalunya in Spain made his number of 2005 victories 10, beating his (and Didier Auriol's) own record of six wins in a season.

2006
Citroën's parent company, PSA Peugeot Citroën, pulled both companies out of the WRC at the end of 2005, but Citroën planned to come back in 2007 with the Citroën C4 WRC, and developed the car during 2006. PSA Peugeot Citroën (previously Peugeot Société Anonyme) is a French Automobile and Motorcycle manufacturer; these Citroën (pronounced See-Troh-Enn is a French Automobile manufacturer, founded in 1919 by André Citroën. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. The Citroën C4 is a Small family car produced by French automaker Citroën since autumn 2004 Loeb was closely involved with this as he was guaranteed the leading role in the team at the come back. In the meantime, a 'gap year' beckoned in the privateer ranks, namely with Kronos Citroën. Citroën (pronounced See-Troh-Enn is a French Automobile manufacturer, founded in 1919 by André Citroën. Despite driving a car at the end of its potential, he showed that he was still Le Patron (the Boss), by dominating the season and winning a third title with the Xsara.
In order to score on the first round in Monte Carlo, however, he was initially forced to activate the SupeRally rules for retiring competitors, having spun off the road on Leg 1. Monte-Carlo ( Occitan: Montcarles, Monégasque: Monte-Carlu) is one of Monaco 's various administrative areas sometimes erroneously Although he did manage to claw back 2nd place in the Principality, it was the first time he had ever been beaten to the finish (namely by fellow double-time champion Marcus Grönholm) on these roads in the Xsara WRC. Marcus "Bosse" Grönholm (born February 5 1968 in Kauniainen) is a former Finnish rally driver This outcome was mirrored on the following month's Swedish Rally, with Grönholm again the man to whom Loeb was forced to give best, placing the duo in an early runaway 1-2 position in the points standings. The Uddeholm Swedish Rally (Svenska rallyt formerly the Swedish Rally, is an Automobile rally competition held in Värmland, Sweden
But the Frenchman's bridesmaid status was not to last, and racking up a triumph on the ensuing Corona Rally Mexico - the first of five on the trot that season - propelled him into a championship lead he was never to lose. The Corona Rally Mexico, formerly known as Rally America is a round of the FIA World Rally Championship. He tied Carlos Sainz's record number of 26 individual rally victories in August with a fifth consecutive victory in Germany. Carlos Sainz (born April 12, 1962 in Madrid, Spain) is a former Spanish Rally driver. With his subsequent victory in Japan, the world record of 27 victories and counting eventually became his. His victory in Cyprus put him on the verge of a third consecutive World Rally Championship title. Shortly after Loeb broke his right humerus in a mountain-biking accident near his home in Switzerland and missed the rallies in Turkey and Australia. The humerus is a Long bone in the Arm or Forelimb that runs from the Shoulder to the Elbow.

Marcus "Bosse" Grönholm (born February 5 1968 in Kauniainen) is a former Finnish rally driver He received the news at home via an Internet video link to the race grounds. Due to the time difference, he made do with early morning coffee instead of the customary champagne, calling the whole experience "strange".
Loeb finished second overall in the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Pescarolo-Judd, between the two Diesel-powered Audi R10.

2007
For 2007, Sébastien Loeb returned as an official Citroën driver, with the new Citroën C4 WRC. Citroën (pronounced See-Troh-Enn is a French Automobile manufacturer, founded in 1919 by André Citroën. The Citroën C4 is a Small family car produced by French automaker Citroën since autumn 2004 He won the 75ème Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo, the first race for the new C4, following that up with a solid second place after Grönholm, in Sweden, to set up a two-point lead over the Finn after two of 16 rounds. The 75ème Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo ( 75th Monte-Carlo Rally), the first round of the 2007 World Rally Championship season took place between January The 56th Uddeholm Swedish Rally, second round of the 2007 World Rally Championship season took place between February 9th and 11th 2007 At the first Rally Norway, Loeb went off and lost eight minutes during SS12 while chasing Grönholm and the leader, Mikko Hirvonen. Rally Norway 2007, the third round of the 2007 World Rally Championship season, was held on February 16 &ndash 18 2007. Mikko Hirvonen (born July 31, 1980) is a Finnish rally driver currently driving for the BP Ford World Rally Team in the World On the next stage, he made another mistake and lost nine minutes. He eventually finished 14th in the rally and dropped to third in the championship standings. He won 8 of the 18 stages in this rally. Loeb won the next rally, the 21º Corona Rally México, 55. The 21º Corona Rally México, the fourth round of the 2007 World Rally Championship season, took place between March 9 &ndash 11, 2007 8 seconds clear of Grönholm.
He then followed this success up with his third and fourth season victories on the Portugese and Argentinian rallies. The 2007 Vodafone Rally de Portugal was the 41st Rally de Portugal and the fifth round of the 2007 World Rally Championship season. The Rally Argentina is an Argentine rally competition and a stage of the World Rally Championship. Characteristically, he was once more to be found in the lead on the seventh round, the Rally d' Italia in Sardinia. Sardinia (sɑrˈdɪnɪə Sardegna Sardigna or Sardinnya is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily) On new stages on the final leg to those of the previous year, however, Loeb was once more to lament error and the surrender of probable victory, this time after crashing and breaking his suspension in a ditch. He left the lead in the hands of Grönholm, who won to propel himself seven points ahead of Loeb at the top of the championship standings. A second loss to the Finn in as many years on the Acropolis Rally then extended the deficit to nine points over the championship's summer break. The Acropolis Rally of Greece (officially known as BP Ultimate Acropolis Rally of Greece) is a rally competition part of the
Loeb occupied his recess by, amongst other engagements, competing in the Shell Donegal International Rally on the 15th, 16th and 17th of June, partially as preparation for the coming Rally Ireland world championship round that November. He scored a comprehensive victory, albeit only after being given a scare by the pace of tenacious private Subaru-mounted Mark Higgins. Punctures afflicted upon his rival eventually settled the contest.
Ambitions of finally scoring victory on Rally Finland proved once more unrealized, with Loeb relegated to third place behind the pacy natives Grönholm and Hirvonen. Rallye Deutschland, as was traditional, differed somewhat. Although, at the scene of his first victory and on a rally where he had never subsequently lost, Loeb was left unexpectedly to fend off the challenge not of the Finn, but of a privateer, his one-time team-mate and championship returnee François Duval, he came to eventually triumph, reducing some of his championship points deficit. For the 18th century French dancer see François Duval (dancer.
A very close battle on the gravel stages of Rally New Zealand ended with the closest second place in the whole of World Rally history - Loeb finished only 0. The 2007 Rally New Zealand ( 37th Propecia Rally New Zealand) 11th round of 2007 World Rally Championship, was run on August 31 - September 3 s behind his main rival. The next two rounds, hovewer, allowed the French driver to regain some points, as he won both tarmac events - Rallye Espana, where his teammate Danni Sordo additionaly took second place and two points from Grönholm, and Rally France.
Rally Japan was another dramatic event - Loeb got the chance to take the lead in Championship after Grönholm's early mistake,[2] but he wasn't able to, as his co-driver mistake caused the C4 to go off road on one of the stages of second leg. Both drivers ended with no points after finally retiring from the event. [3] In Ireland, during 1st Rally Ireland almost the same story happened - Marcus Grönholm overcooked a slippery right corner on one of the early stages, trying to keep a fast pace, and had to retire from the rally. The 2007 Rally Ireland ( 1st Rally Ireland) 15th round of 2007 World Rally Championship, was run on November 15 - November 18 Loeb made use of his rival's mistake and, by making no major mistakes, although having some suspension-related problems with keeping pace at the beginning,[4] he added 10 points to his account, moving ahead of Finnish driver just one round before the seasons end. In Wales he wasn't fighting for the win, focusing mostly on securing his advantage, finishing the event third - on 2 December, 2007 Loeb became World Rally Champion for the fourth time in a row. Results of Rally GB ( 63rd Wales Rally of Great Britain) 16th round of 2007 World Rally Championship, run on November 30 - December 2 [5]
2008
Loeb started the 2008 season with a record fifth win in Monte Carlo. The 2008 World Rally Championship season is the 36th season of the FIA World Rally Championship. The 2008 Monte Carlo Rally, officially 76ème Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo, was the 76th Monte Carlo Rally and the first round of the 2008 World Rally Championship [6] On the second rally of the year, 2008 Swedish Rally, Loeb crashed out during day one. The 2008 Swedish Rally, officially 57th Uddeholm Swedish Rally, was the second round of 2008 World Rally Championship season. Although he re-joined the rally to collect manufacturers' points, the team later decided to retire him due to a damaged engine.
