I think I may get around the first corner, IF I was able to get to the the 2nd I think the car would end up being a plane and come crashing down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd1i1ZP3Aec

A few more safety barriers and I would plus I would need to have heard of the driver before

You sure about that Mike? Remember this one? Same race and I'm not sure how much a bit guard rail would have help those guys.

Yep, I remember that one....When I said a bit of guard rail, I was thinking more along the lines of concrete armco from start to finish

I'm already pissed they paved the whole run and now you want 12.4 miles of armco, what fun is that?

more fun without the barriers, all you gotta do is stay on the road.

You misunderstand, I only want the barrier IF I was the passenger or the driver trying to break the record ..... I also preferred watching it while it was all gravel, the times they're now achieving must be be damn quick, compared to before

Large sections of it have been paved for years but, I think this year's running was the first time it was fully paved, Sebastian Loeb in a Peugeot 206 took a minute and a half off of the previous record with a time of 8:13.787. BTW, the winning time in the inaugural race of 1916 was 20:55.60 given the cars of that era, bloody quick and DAMNED frightening.

8:13 wow
Sebastian Loeb is one of the drivers that I'd sorta feel reasonably comfortable sitting beside, it would be scary but very exhilarating at the sametime
