The Dacia would have won last year but they crashed just above Devils Playground.

One of the most amazing cars i have ever seen built. This is no average shop car! I would be very afraid to pilot that car up the hill.

Doubt the car is going to break down.

It's going to be another record setting year.

I know someone who was at snake river when Evel Kneivel tried to light a rocket off with his butt strapped to it. He says Evel pulled the chute early cause he was scared. I don't think Loeb will choke!

I don't think he will choke either. They picked one of the best drivers in the world for a reason!

Loeb will choke...... LOL

I liked when he was driving ion the X games, and that two moron tv person was commenting about him.... Like he is a rookie and he never drove in traffic, let see how he will do in his first X games etc...
Its like other then crash or mechanical failure anyone had a chance ...

There is a reason why so many racer think he is the best driver ever walked on the earth, period.
What ever car you throw at him and circumstances, example ROC etc, he is def. on the podium and very very few times not on the 1st place..
Not bad from a French Gymnast , huh??

Pikes peak is high, but there are many more challenging Hill climb around. Specially around the French Alps or the Swiss Italian etc. Dont be fooled when you think he is afraid of height...lol

Only thing is pikes peak seems wide and there for looks to me super fast in sections. But that is also couldnt be very challenging people who got used to speed what F1 car does or the Lemans cars.... Also hill climb is more or less a Super special stage in rally. So i think he will do very good there. Unless he crash , or maybe the car will brake down, I doubt both. You dont get 9 WRC championship for nothing.

this is his speed if some one never saw him:
in a F1 car:

in car rally from 2004 ..... this was his speed back then, now he is of course faster:


and the team etc:

Wow, it seemed like there wasn't more than 100' of straight road for that entire 10 minute run!

And Dumas is now in the race again with a Lemans prototype. http://www.ppihc.com/updates/2013/05...ited-division/

The little guys are not going to get much publicity this race with this lineup. Its like a cage match for hillclimbing. Bring your best!

The little guys never did - most of us are just thrilled to be part of the show.

My hopes of running PPIHC dwindle every year. I don't think novice privateers stand a chance of running the hill anymore... Seriously depressing to me.
