      Loeb hasn’t raced Speed. But he has races Pastrana. They were the two finalists in Race of Champions one year. Speed has also raced against the Hansen brothers, and Pastrana has raced Johan Kristofferson. They are all too notch. Would Loeb beat Speed’s time? Probably. But you say it like they’re leagues apart. They aren’t.

      Not when you are limited by speed, and the law. At his pace its much harder to just stay out of the ditch. You got to figure, go watch an actual rally course run, they dont shoot for perfection and staying in the lines, out of the ditch, they actually race from ditch to ditch to ditch, as that is the fastest route, sideways. This particular road will not allow for that style of driving, so it by itself is another challenge, adjusting your driving style to fit the asphalt.
