WRC crowns driver and manufacturer champs, any guesses who? [spoilers]

Sebastian Loeb Rally France

Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, for a shocking announcement: Sbastien Loeb has won the 2012 World Rally Championship title, and his Red-Bull-sponsored Citron team took home the manufacturer's trophy.

For those keeping track, this is Loeb's ninth WRC title, and the season-clinching win at Rally France in front of fans from his hometown of Haguenau, no less marks the 75th time Loeb has driven to victory in the series. So dominant was Loeb in 2012 that his title has been secured with two races remaining on the calendar.

Sbastien Loeb has announced that he will be in something of a retirement mode in 2013, but it remains to be seen what the 38-year-old Frenchman will do with all his new-found spare time.
