in car Video of Loeb. I could tell from helicopter video he is one of smoother drivers around but in car is a testament to his craft. Damn hardly any corrections, carrying huge speed off turns. He's my hill climbing idle after Georg Plasa ...God rest his hill climbing soul.
Loeb makes most of us look like hacks. He is the most efficient hill climb driver I have seen behind the wheel. To drive lines he did was just incredible to watch. Very few miscalculations. http://youtu.be/b1wpqAZO17Y |

I read an article by some journalist riding on a practice section with Loeb.
He asked Loeb if he drove the same way in a rally. The answer (paraphrased) ....."Oh no. This is a known section of road and one can drive as fast as one likes. In a rally, I drive at about 80%." I assume he did Pike's Peak at 80 %. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
