Sébastien Loeb and Peugeot set a new record | Dreamcar.dk
After months of anticipation, Sébastien Loeb has shattered the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record with an impressive time of 8m13.878s in the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak. The Frenchman drove the 20 kilometers and 156 corners on the mountain with an average speed of 145km / h
Loeb's time set the previous design lampen record of 9m46.164s which was set by Rhys Millen last year, Stumped. "For me, this has been the year's race," design lampen said Sébastien design lampen Loeb as he reached the finish line, which was at an altitude of 4,300 in the Rocky Mountains. "At the beginning of the race I felt some pressure because I knew how much work and how much investment design lampen both Peugeot and all the partners had put into this project - and now it was up to me to perform."
Loeb started the first in the Unlimited class and relax the 875 horsepower loose in the morning after all the motorcycles was passed. However, there was some delay, causing concern design lampen within the team as the weather often plays a crucial role because of the altitude. "When I was waiting for take-off at the starting line, I could see dark clouds close in around the top of the mountain," says Loeb, "I thought that if we do not get going, it would be really difficult."
But Loeb fired his Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak off like a rocket through the clouds in a time that was faster than the Peugeot Sport computer thought was possible. The ideal theoretical time, which was calculated design lampen from Loeb tests up the Colorado design lampen mountain, 8m15 s - a time that 9-times rally world champion shaved a full 2 seconds off.
"I'm really happy that the race ended so well," said Loeb. "I did not expect to do better than 8m15s, so to carry on 8m13s was fantastic. Before beginning, I was not quite sure if I should run it to the limit or if I just had to keep a comfortable pace to achieve victory. Eventually I decided to push it to the edge. "
The result is spectacular and Sébastien Loeb now belong to a particular group of Pikes Peak winners. It is exactly 25 years ago that Ari Vatanen beat Pikes Peak record for Peugeot with the 405 T16 Pikes Peak time 10m47.220 s on the dirt road.
Last year's winner, Rhys Millen, came in second place in his Hyundai RMR PM580-T, 49 seconds behind Sébastien Loeb. "It is safe to say that we went after second place," said Millen. "I knew I could not beat Sebastian time, so I decided not to take any risks. You have to give Loeb and Peugeot Sport: They were invincible! The time they sat, was simply incredible. When will the disabled? Perhaps never ...... "
