While he has just won his ninth WRC world title, Sébastien Ogier is not closing the door to aligning himself with other disciplines. The Gapençais thus expressed the idea of participating once again in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the future.
Sébastien Ogier has established himself a little more in the legend of rallying. At the end of a 2025 season which saw him win six of the eleven events in which he participated, the Gapençais sought his ninth world champion title. He was thus able to equal the record of his compatriot Sébastien Loeb. As soon as the emotion had subsided, the Toyota driver confided his intention to limit his 2026 financial year to ten of the fourteen rallies on the calendar in order to spend more time with his family and especially his son. However, he keeps an eye on other disciplines. If he was entitled to a test session behind the wheel of a Formula 1 in 2017, he has already participated in GT races, rounds of the Porsche SuperCup and DTM.
But Sébastien Ogier stood out above all with an entry in the LMP2 category of the world endurance championship with a 13th place during the 24 Hours of Le Mans alongside his compatriots Lilou Wadoux and Charles Milesi. During a daily interview The Teamthe Gapençais has not hidden his attraction for the classic Le Mans. “ It’s really a great race, with a very special atmosphere.he said. And driving these cars which have a lot of aero, on a circuit like this, it’s really funespecially in traffic where you have a lot of action. » Asked about the possibility of participating again, the nine-time world rally champion does not close the door.
Ogier closes the door to the rally-raid
“ I’m not saying it’s going to happen but if the opportunity presents itself, I really hope to go back “, he assures. An attraction which is due to the differences with rallying, a discipline in which he has been “selfish throughout (his) career”, evoking “this notion of sharing the wheel within a crew” which he finds interesting because it provides “different emotions from those to which (he is) accustomed”. While his elder Sébastien Loeb turned to the Dakar after having won everything in the WRC, Sébastien Ogier is obviously not of the same opinion because a return to endurance “attracts him much more than a reconversion to rally-raid”.
Teams wishing to attract him to Le Mans have been warned.
