Loeb said of the new challenge: &#8220;I love racing and I&#8217;m always interested in trying out new categories. A week after the New Zealand Rally has finished, I&#8217;ll be in Los Angeles to take up the challenge set for me by Travis! Rallycross here in Europe provides some very spectacular racing, but the American version seems to be even more extreme. So, I didn&#8217;t need to be asked twice when the opportunity arose to race against drivers like Marcus Gr\u00f6nholm in a 545bhp Citro\u00ebn DS3!&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-MPHjDtmQlCI\/T_q-4anMDCI\/AAAAAAAABNY\/Pzyqfv4Gd3M\/s1600\/citroen-racing-rallycross-2.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"199\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-MPHjDtmQlCI\/T_q-4anMDCI\/AAAAAAAABNY\/Pzyqfv4Gd3M\/s320\/citroen-racing-rallycross-2.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Citro\u00ebn Racing has developed a special version of the World Rally Championship DS3 &#8220;It&#8217;s always exciting to try out a new category and attempt to get the most out of the regulations,&#8221; said Cyrille Jourdan, lead engineer for the project at Citro\u00ebn Racing. &#8220;From a distance, the Rallycross DS3 looks quite similar to the WRC. Although the design of the chassis and suspension systems are fairly similar, the powertrain is fundamentally different. The DS3 XL&#8217;s two-litre turbo engine develops 545bhp and 800Nm of torque. Its acceleration isn&#8217;t far off that of an F1 car, covering 0 to 100kph (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loeb Confirmed For
