Look how much later Loeb is braking , and how rapid his acceleration is ...

Loeb video speeded up.

rwd versus 4wd on loose gravel.
It should be faster even without the 25 years.

Loeb video speeded up.

I dont think it is.

There are different circumstances .
Toivonen on video of 1985 is filmed during the rally, when Loeb just testing C4. Toivonen drive looking for a victory and Loeb to build a car as he likes.Two different thinks.

However , note that Loeb could have done that passage a lot of times during testing ...

[N.O.T]

WOW...

cars are faster than they were 30 years back...

REVELATION !!!!!!!

that was a wake up call for sure....

What's that light in C4 in the left front.
That point straight down.
They had in the DS3 on some test session, too.

I think that it is correvitt sensor which is used for measuring pitch and roll, speed in two axis, slip angle, and yaw rate. (Citing to Mirek)

Loeb video speeded up.

Im not sure, If it is, its by a very little amount and as mentioned about testing, he will have driven that stretch of road many times and now have his braking point perfected to the last few inches.

A more interesting and telling comparison to watch would be a late Delta S4 or Evo2 T16.
