Loeb runs Pikes Peak: 8:13:878
 

Wow, that is fast.
Rhys Millen's record from last year was 9:46:164
He clocked in second this year with 9:02:192

I predicted he would blow the record to smithereens, but that's about 47 seconds faster that I though he could do it. I hope there are plenty of videos in the coming days.

A F1 car with a body.......

Apparently, Peugeot's attack on Pikes Peak is reminiscent of Audi at LeMans. Po-joe must be a very popular marque in Europe, eh?

This one is better. In car footage......

^^ Loved this comment -"Even Chuck Norris has posters of Loeb in his bedroom."

Hah!

Hardly. A steel tube frame with a carbon silhouette of a s*%#box on top of it is far from being the ultimate.

There is so much more that could be had when it comes to getting up that course now that it is paved.

More Peugeot 908 than anything else, the underfloor, air intake and other various bits are common.

Where's video of the actual timed run?

I think Loeb is a bit of an ass, but the man can drive.

Paved al lthe way, bah.
Rod Millen could do it in 8 minutes flat on all pavement, IN REVERSE! :)

Can he beat Chuck Norris? I think not...

Did Rhys abandon his car from 2 years ago? that one seemed wicked....

I don't know if this is practice or what. There are a few videos on You Tube.

Glad he's ok. Lucky guy.

Who, the driver or the person sitting in the chair that ended up between the car and the rock?

That video reinforces that fact that people shouldn't be allowed out of their yards. There are 20 or so of the dumbest fooks on the planet.

Wow. I totalled my first 914 in 1980 but it didn't look anything like that.
IIRC I got $750 from Aase bros for the carcass.

Here's the 914 last year. We had our engagement photos taken at German Motorcraft. Sad to see it gone, it was a fast car. :(

I would think the asshat taking pics at the beginning, in the blue shirt made the driver twitch....bet that got his ass loose and he lost it trying to correct.....

Yeah he wasn't in the road but it woulda made me flinch....

EDIT....second thought, I woulda sucked him onto the road with my vortex.....rookie mistake.

Just glad you weren't hurt. That rock didn't move a inch AFA I can see.

BTW, where did the roof end up? Mine was bolted down but it might not have survived that hit.

Pikes Peak gives you a choice of a 400 foot drop off or a bigass rock.

Major cojones to tackle that course. Had to laugh at the driver's reaction. But then he probably just saw a very short movie of his entire life.

Glad you're okay, CHICKS!

More like a Le Mans prototype. Many parts directly off the 908. Wheels and tires from the 2014 LMP cars. The engine is from the Pescarolo C60 that ran in 2003, but in unrestricted form.

Badass machine.

Whoa sorry guys it wasn't my car. Didn't mean to confuse. The pics where just took at the shop the car was at. Sorry about the confusion.

Couple things to notice about that 914-

1. Looks like the factory windshield....

2. I don't know what the rear wing is, but it isn't much of a wing. No endplates? Is it 1960?

3. The Roll cage doesn't have rear roll hoop supports angling down to the back. How the hell does that pass requirements? It would not be legal in SCCA or NASA club racing events.

4. It's on street tires. Seriously? You prep a car for Pikes Peak, it's fully paved, and you can't afford a set of Hoosier slicks to throw on the thing?

See what happens if you piss off Chuck Norris?

Chuck doan do yaller.....

But he would these....or I would.....

Looks more like a NASCAR designed with a slightly less restrictive rules package to me...

That's a whole lot more bimbo than I'm used to seeing in one spot ..........

That piew-got is what group B would look like nowadays.
