• Video: Muller wins WTCC title

TV news and major newspapers have all reported about him claiming France's second motorsport world championship of the season after Sébastien Loeb's fifth consecutive World Rally Championship.

Muller is the sixth French driver to be crowned world champion after Alain Prost (Formula 1), Didier Auriol and Loeb (Rally), Yannick Dalmas and Jean-Louis Schlesser (Sportscars).

The season is not over yet for SEAT Sport's new WTCC champion. He will take part in the Race of Champions at Wembley, on December 14th, forming a two-world-champion team with fellow regional Loeb (they both are from Alsace and licensed by the same club, ASACAR du Bas Rihn).

Muller will then participate in the Dakar Rally at the wheel of a buggy prototype built by Philippe Gache.
