Maybe Harold Primat in the 2nd car was also a factor? If Loeb is serious about winning, which he appears to be, and concerned about the lead Pescarolo being faster, as he mentions he is, then Primat's presence could be the reason for these concerns.
Nothing against Primat, but he's probably got about the same, or less, pace than Loeb does. Compared to his partners last year, or two years ago, the lineup would be a step down.
