Sébastien Loeb became the oldest winner of an FIA World Rally Championship round after grabbing a remarkable Rallye Monte-Carlo victory from the under the nose of old foe Sébastien Ogier on Sunday.

在一場(chǎng)戲劇性的蒙特卡洛拉力賽后，塞巴斯蒂安-勒布從老對(duì)手塞巴斯蒂安-奧吉爾手中奪下勝利，成為了WRC史上最年長(zhǎng)的分站冠軍。

The 47-year-old Frenchman trailed Ogier by almost half a minute heading into the penultimate speed test of the four-day event in the French Alps.

在這場(chǎng)法國(guó)阿爾卑斯山腳下的爭(zhēng)奪中，47歲的勒布在倒數(shù)第二個(gè)賽段出發(fā)前，依舊落后38歲的奧吉爾達(dá)半分鐘。

But when Ogier limped to the finish with a front left puncture, Loeb reclaimed a lead he had conceded to his compatriot on Saturday. He stayed calm through the final test to seal his eighth Monte-Carlo success in a Ford Puma by 10.5sec.

不過(guò)，奧吉爾在隨后的比賽中遭遇左前輪爆胎，讓勒布得以搶回在周六丟失的頭名位置。最后一個(gè)賽段中，穩(wěn)健的勒布以10.5秒的優(yōu)勢(shì)，帶著他的福特美洲獅賽車(chē)奪得了他的第八次蒙特卡洛拉力賽冠軍。

Loeb, starting his first WRC event for more than a year, was competing for the British M-Sport Ford squad in a one-off appearance. He joins Ogier at the top of the Monte-Carlo roll of honour with eight wins.

這是勒布時(shí)隔一年多后，再一次參加WRC分站賽，也可能是他這賽季唯一一次代表M-Sport車(chē)隊(duì)參賽。他追平了奧吉爾八次蒙特卡洛奪冠的紀(jì)錄。

His victory means he has topped the WRC podium in three different decades. Co-driver Isabelle Galmiche, a 50-year-old schoolteacher who was making her first top-tier start, became the first female winner of a WRC fixture since 1997.

這場(chǎng)勝利同時(shí)意味著，勒布在三個(gè)不同時(shí)期均問(wèn)鼎過(guò)WRC最高領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺(tái)。而他的副駕駛，50歲的學(xué)校老師伊莎貝爾-加爾米歇，成為了1997年后首位女性冠軍，可她才第一次出戰(zhàn)WRC呢~

“I didn’t expect so much when I came here,” Loeb admitted. “It was a great fight, Ogier was really fast and I struggled a bit yesterday and even this morning.”

“來(lái)之前我沒(méi)想到可以有這個(gè)成績(jī)，”勒布承認(rèn)道，“比賽很過(guò)癮，奧吉爾真是快，我在昨天和今天早上都有點(diǎn)掙扎?！?/p>

The duel between the most successful drivers in the sport’s history proved a fitting start to the new hybrid-powered era in the championship’s 50th season.

值此WRC50周年紀(jì)念賽季，又恰逢混動(dòng)新時(shí)代的開(kāi)啟，在揭幕戰(zhàn)上能有兩位史上最偉大的車(chē)手，帶來(lái)一場(chǎng)巔峰對(duì)決，正是新時(shí)代最合適的開(kāi)篇。

The championship switches to Scandinavia next month for the only pure winter round of the season. Rally Sweden takes place in Ume? on 24 - 27 February.

WRC接下來(lái)將于2.24-2.27去到斯堪迪納維亞半島，在瑞典展開(kāi)今年唯一一站純冬季分站的爭(zhēng)奪。
