ste12b Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 For anyone who watched the live footage (which was poor), here is some good in car footage http://sundayafternoonclub.blogs.topgear.com/2013/07/02/watch-loeb-smash-pikes-peak-record/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Have they paved the road all way to top - IIRC the top part was gravel - if paved then no wonder he did it a minute quicker. Still some driving though Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeceknight Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I thought top half was done on gravel? and started on shut if roads at the bottom, the epic footage of the mighty 205 t16 or Audi Quattro doing it is insane. Pure driving skills no computer technology etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Just checked on Wiki and they laid tarmac in late 2011 - So this record must be for after 2011 as it would be unfair on previous record holders. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
