Loeb, who currently races for Dacia in the World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC), has confirmed that he will compete in his first “traditional” rally of the season at the beginning of June. This time, the rally legend will return to action on asphalt roads.

Loeb will be joined by his partner Laurene Godey at the Rallye du Chablais, an event held in Switzerland that also counts toward the TER (Tour European Rally) and ERT (European Rally Trophy) championships.

He will be driving an Alpine A110 GT+, the same model he used last year to win Rallye Mont-Blanc Morzine.

“Back behind the wheel of this rocket – by GL Automobiles Service Compétition – from next week,” Loeb wrote on social media.

“Happy to be joining the Rallye du Chablais once again with Laurène, an event I’ve had the honour of being the patron of for nearly 20 years.”

This will be Loeb’s fourth time contesting Rallye du Chablais. He previously won the event in 2012, 2013, and 2017.

The 51-year-old Frenchman has had a busy racing schedule lately. Just last week, he finished second in a W2RC round held in South Africa. And this weekend, he’ll switch disciplines again to race in a six-hour endurance race at the Portimão circuit in Portugal.

Rallye du Chablais takes place on 6–7 June 2025, featuring a total of 14 special stages covering approximately 170 competitive kilometres.
