Sébastien Loeb made it two winners from two FIA World Touring Car Championship counters by outgunning local hero José María López in the second race in Argentina.

Loeb, who started eighth on the grid, hit the front when Citroën team-mate Ma Qing Hua ran wide. He held off López to the finish and built his winning margin to almost five seconds following an incident-packed race.

Tiago Monteiro overtook fellow Honda driver Gabriele Tarquini for third with Mehdi Bennani fighting back from a clash with Yvan Muller to beat Nortbert Michelisz to the Yokohama Drivers’ Trophy victory.
