History has repeated itself. I have a feeling this record will stand for a very long time
Here is the first time Peugeot went out and set the record.
I don't know why it won't embed, I've tried 6 times now and it just gives me a blank area where the viewer should be.
Ari Vatanen was one hell of a driver. Hopefully Peugeot will produce another video similar to this one with Loeb's run.

The 205 T16 looks better than the new one. I have to say I have a soft spot for the 505. My parents had a '81 505 turbo diesel. Solid cars, I'd be down to see what could be done with one of the late v6 models. Didn't they have like 200 hp or something?

Funny some of you guys are into 505's. My dad still has three of them, his fav an '86 505 TD sport model (STI perhaps??) and he has a sedan and station wagon 504. All manuals lol
On breaking Loeb's record, its gonna happen prob as early as next year. However I have a big safety issue with the course now that its all asphalt. Someone is gonna get hurt (racer or spectator) pretty badly I think. The speeds are insane now, with the dirt and asphalt mixed it just seemed a more careful balanced attacked that helped keep overall speeds down.Last edited by imprttuner88; 07-01-2013, 12:46 PM.1987 325i LeChump: H&R Race springs, weight reduction and beat to hell

Wish they would have left it dirt. Made it more of a challenge.
I drove up it a few years ago. I can't believe the brass balls these guys have to have to run 120-145mph up that mountain.

that would be awesome to see an old school vs. new school shootout!
