cyberpunky Posted 30June, 2013 Report Share Posted 30June, 2013 Seb Loeb absolutely smashed the record at Pikes Peak yesterday doing a time of 8:13.878. They got rid of the dirt section so records were always going to be broken but this time is just outstanding. I am guessing it may stand for some time, as doubtful the sort of money Peugeot and red bull threw at it will be done again soon. I haven't seen the in car footage yet but have no doubt it will be a hell of a ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 1July, 2013 Report Share Posted 1July, 2013 They got rid of the dirt section So now anyone can do it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 1July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 1July, 2013 Rhys Millen was only 30 seconds better than his former record, so Sebs effort is still amazing, and far from easy. The Porsche driver Dumas went off as did 2 bike riders(who had to be air lifted out), so it is still a dangerous event. Rhys Millen has stated he believes no one will beat Seb's time ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 1July, 2013 Report Share Posted 1July, 2013 Awesome work. I still think that it has lost part of the very thing that made the race up the hill what it was though. As for the R.M quote.So long as they keep racing at P.P someone will better Sed's time. It's just the nature of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
