Loeb in 'contact' with Subaru and Ford?
Reigning world rally champion, Sebastien Loeb has revealed that he has made contact with other teams in the WRC about 2006, following Citroen's decision to pull out at the end of this season - but no decision has yet been made.
The Frenchman, who has to find a new home if he is to stay in the sport, will be much sought after as he is currently one of the hottest properties in the WRC. Although he refused to speculate on where he might end up, there is no doubt his chief targets will be Subaru and Ford, with Mitsubishi an outside bet.

Speaking following the announcement that he will contest the Le Mans 24 hours race this year with Pescarolo Sport, Loeb was quick to put a stop to any rumours straight away that he has any intention of moving to sports cars.
"I have no intention of switching to endurance racing but I am sure it will be nice to race at Le Mans," he told Reuters.
"Contacts have been made [in the WRC with regard to next year] but no decision has been taken."
