Sebastien Loeb has demolished the record at Pikes Peak. His run in
the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak clocked a time of 8:13.878. This makes
him the only person to break the eight minute mark and it beats last year’s record of 9:46 by more than 15 percent. Last years time was
set by Rhys Millen who followed Loeb after his record run today. By
comparison, Millen managed a 2013 time of 9:02.192, shaving 45 seconds
off his personal best yet not even coming close to Loeb’s time. For those that might not have heard of Pikes Peak before, it is a
mountain in Colorado, USA. It features a paved road which leads to the 4,300 meter summit. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb runs
12.42 miles which means that the average speed for Loeb’s run was
90.5476 mph or 145.7223 kmh. (gtspirit)
