Can't wait to see this, because Redbull's coverage of this event is one of the worst coverage I've ever seen. Peugeot's officials must be really mad, I've seen a flash on french TV news channel and they had the same crappy quality footage as we have seen, meaning there was no real TV crew whatsoever. Totally unprofessional.

Congatulations to Sebastian.Great driving.I believe that for those who know about wrc it wasn't a surprise because all know his exceptional driving skills.The margin between seb and the second is really BIG!!

P.S Was any changes to the route this year??(gravel section?)i ask because Rhys Millen and Jean-Philippe Dayraut also beat the previous record.

Route was same as last year as they finished paving days after the 2011 event.

Also I think Loeb may have (hopefully) smashed the superstition/excuse that Americans have that you only accomplish what the mountain will let you. Turns out with skill and meticulous preparation are all that you really need. Who knew?

I think this has been proved some years ago when vatanen,mouton,rohrl won the event.

Fantastic acomplishment for the whole Peugeot team I'm really pissed with the Red Bull TV coverage, the worst thing is I spent almost 2 hours waiting for Loeb to come to see the probably worst piece of motorsport coverage ever. I hope an onboard will come soon

Well done to Peugeot Sport and Seb.

Must agree, coverage was poor on all fronts from commentary (if you can call it that), interviews and the chopper cam (kept losing the car). Better than nothing of course. Redbull usually do better than that for their various other stuff.
Should've sent some of our members out like Darkstar and Joost Schouten

The worst part is, the comentators mentioned before Loeb's run how they have multiple onboard views ready :/ The only time you could hear the car was the first two seconds of the run, the rest were extremely boring silent helicopter shots with the helicopter spending most of the time finding Loeb

I think the helecopter struggled keeping up with Loeb.
