Mehdi Bennani has praised Sébastien Loeb Racing after it put the WTCC Teams’ Trophy beyond doubt in Vila Real yesterday.
Bennani has been part of the French squad since it joined the World Touring Car Championship in 2015. Along with team-mates Tom Chilton, Grégoire Demoustier, Bennani was instrumental in securing the title for the outfit.
“For sure we deserve it a lot because it’s a very professional team I think it’s even close to a factory team how they work,” said Bennani. “Me and Tom Chilton are every time enjoying our weekend because it’s going only on one way, it’s the professional way so for sure as a driver we improve a lot, we try to work on it and we try to be close to factory drivers and sometimes it works, because sometimes we are here to fight with the factory drivers. But for sure it’s our biggest success to be there and to fight with the factory drivers and it’s happened and I think at the end it’s a lot of things and this as a team it’s Sébastien Loeb Racing.”
