Stop the Earth; Sebastien Loeb is on Twitter. No really!

Nine titles, gigazillion victories, infintillion stage wins, Pike Peaks record holder, GT racer, gymnast, WTCC champi… OK, not yet, but soon. Soon. So, Sebastien Loeb landed on Twitter this morning.

Renault returns to rallying with official Gordinis
