Sebastien Loeb has taken a one-point lead over Nasser Al Attiyah in the World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) after claiming third place on the final stage of the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge.
The Bahrain Raid Xtreme driver in the Prodrive Hunter finished sixth overall of the W2RC competitors, putting him on 112 points after two rounds.
Loeb suffered a double puncture on his sustainably fuelled Hunter, dropping time and costing him second place. He had to drive cautiously for the remaining 200+km, without a spare tyre, to ensure he finished the stage.
