OK, hillclimbers, and everyone else, take 8 minutes of your time and watch this. This is pretty cool.

Sébastien Loeb Sets New Record on Pikes Peak.

Amazing things happen when you put 875 HP in the hands of someone with that much talent. 8)

Old record from last year: 9:46
New record: 8:13

Did anyone send him an invitation to Mt. Philo?
