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.

在一场戏剧性的蒙特卡洛拉力赛后，塞巴斯蒂安-勒布从老对手塞巴斯蒂安-奥吉尔手中夺下胜利，成为了WRC史上最年长的分站冠军。

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.

在这场法国阿尔卑斯山脚下的争夺中，47岁的勒布在倒数第二个赛段出发前，依旧落后38岁的奥吉尔达半分钟。

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.

不过，奥吉尔在随后的比赛中遭遇左前轮爆胎，让勒布得以抢回在周六丢失的头名位置。最后一个赛段中，稳健的勒布以10.5秒的优势，带着他的福特美洲狮赛车夺得了他的第八次蒙特卡洛拉力赛冠军。

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.

这是勒布时隔一年多后，再一次参加WRC分站赛，也可能是他这赛季唯一一次代表M-Sport车队参赛。他追平了奥吉尔八次蒙特卡洛夺冠的纪录。

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.

这场胜利同时意味着，勒布在三个不同时期均问鼎过WRC最高领奖台。而他的副驾驶，50岁的学校老师伊莎贝尔-加尔米歇，成为了1997年后首位女性冠军，可她才第一次出战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.”

“来之前我没想到可以有这个成绩，”勒布承认道，“比赛很过瘾，奥吉尔真是快，我在昨天和今天早上都有点挣扎。”

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周年纪念赛季，又恰逢混动新时代的开启，在揭幕战上能有两位史上最伟大的车手，带来一场巅峰对决，正是新时代最合适的开篇。

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

WRC接下来将于2.24-2.27去到斯堪迪纳维亚半岛，在瑞典展开今年唯一一站纯冬季分站的争夺。
