Multiple world rally champion Sebastien Loeb will test Renault's F1 car in the next few weeks. He is not the first rally champ to try F1. Tommi Makinen tried a Williams and dropped it on his out lap. Colin McRae on the other hand put in times in a Jordan that totally stunned everyone including Martin Brundle who had set the car up and set a benchmark time. Like Valentino Rossi he just had an ability to be fast in anything. Even where he had no experience to call on he was immediately quick.

Rossi was very quick in a F1 car, usually into the kitty kat litter :DD
but Loeb being the tamac king n all he might do well.
Not many ppl make the swap well from another motorsports to F1. Think Damon Hill and JV are the only ones that have done it in recent history. (yeah i know but they were both World Champions :DD )

Sebastien Loeb got second in the LMP1 class of Le Mans last year, so he has already proved his adaptability. I'm sure he'll do well in the Renault too.
