Sebastien Loeb wins the WRC: gallery

Sebastien Loeb has won the 2010 World Rally Championship.

The Frenchman with a knack for going sideways stormed to victory at the Wales Rally in his factory Citroen C4 taking his 62nd rally victory and seventh championship win, with a total of 276 points.

Citroen privateer Petter Solberg nearly did him though, and ranked 3rd overall after a spirited challenge to Loeb. Solberg was edged out of 2nd place by Ford driver Jari-Matti Latvala by just two points.

Speaking of two points, it was probably one to forget for our good friend Ken Block. In 13 stages he scored, erm, two points and ranked 23rd (out of 26 drivers), while former Ferrari F1 driver Kimi Raikkonnen fared better with 25 points on the table, ranking 10th.
