Loeb clips marshal on Monte |
Citroen number one driver Sebastien Loeb almost hit a marshal last weekend on the Rallye Monte Carlo
en-route to securing a record fifth win in succession.
Footage of the incident has appeared on
YouTube and it shows the Frenchman 'lightly' clip a marshal with his Citroen C4 WRC car as he negotiates one of the stages at high speed.
"Someone told me about the video, where I brushed past a policeman. I had seen him from a distance, but hey, he did not hurry to cross the road! At no time did I think I was going to hit him," Seb apparently told his personal website.
"We tend to skim the walls to within 5 cm, and I can tell you that we skimmed him! It is true that it looks impressive on the video."
To see the footage go to
YouTube.com and type in '
loeb, monte' – it is currently located right at the bottom of page one.
