Sebastien Loeb Racing & Bardahl - 2018 partnership

Sebastien Loeb Racing & Bardahl - 2018 partnership

In the framework of the partnership between Bardahl & Sébastien Loeb Racing, we keep on ensuring our presence as sponsor on several vehicles and in the WTCR, RallyCross RX, Porsche Carrera Cup and French Rally Championship.

WTCR (Ex WTCC)

The discipline changes its name and reinvents itself to attract a much larger audience and a lot more teams on the track.

Sébastien Loeb Racing will not work with Citroen C-Elysée anymore but has chosen to sign with Volkswagen Motorsport.

2 Golf GTI of more than 350 hp and less than 900Kg will be driven by Mehdi Bennani (Morocco) & Rob Huff (UK).

Only Mehdi Bennani will be backed by Bardahl.
