Sebastien Loeb talks to AOL Cars

He's the most successful driver in the World Rally Championship's history with an incredible nine titles to his name. He holds the record for fastest ascent of the buttock-clenching Pikes Peak hill climb – and if you haven't seen the video, go do it now (see below). But most of all he's an all-round nice guy and a massive car nut.

Sebastien Loeb is a legend among rally car fans and a hero to petrol heads. After years of dominating the world's rally stages with Citroen, the 40-year-old is now starting at the bottom rung of the ladder once more and taking on a new challenge – competing in the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) with the coveted French manufacturer.

Here, in an exclusive interview with AOL Cars, Loeb talks crashing his first car, gives his tips for driving on the limit, tries to sell us his Lamborghini Aventador and says he simply doesn't care how he does in WTCC as long as it's not finishing last.
