    Damn! Too bad he didn't get seriously injured. While I don't want to see Loeb die a fiery death, I do want to see him out of the WRC because I'm just sick of him winning. He's ruining my favorite sport!


    Well him and the FIA, who keep fucking it up with rule changes that are scaring away manufacturers because they can't afford to develop an entirely new car for every major change that comes along. Pick a formula and stick with it, assholes!


    I'd really like to see him go to Formula One to see if he's really as good as the world's best. After all, he does extremely well against drivers of all disciplines at the ROC every year.

    I guess that's how he averages it out - drive like a brutal unstoppable robot for years, then every once in a while, have a catastrophic failure, heh...

    How long before we hear an announcement from Porsche saying that it wasn't actually 8 rolls, and that a Porsche could easily have done 9 or 10 rolls?

    /semi-related racing threadjack


    MotoGP was awesome last weekend, pity for Lorenzo, though, he did awesome.


    Oh, and 125CC was hilarious, just to see Simon's epic fail.


    /end threadjack, back on topic:


    So Loeb is human after all? Or was it an impostor?

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: He thought the race was over and that he had won, so he celebrated. Then everybody passed him. Then he thought he was 3rd at the end, after fighting back some, but he ended up in 4th after reviews, and had to leave parc ferme, ie winners zone.


    Poor guy.

    Why can't they make road-going cars this safe?


    Its the helmets, right?


    I think most people around nowadays should be wearing helmets all the time anyway, so would it really be all that bad?


    Think about it: Almost no car accident fatalities and head protection for the incredibly stupid. Its perfect.

    His summary of what happened is incredibly nonchalant. You'd think that instead of describing his brush with death, he was talking about mid-morning traffic on his way to the dentist.

    @pj134: Woah, woah, woah slow the fuck down. What kind of Jay-Z are you listening to? Most of his beats are produced by Ski, DJ Premier, Kanye and Guru. I'll admit some aren't great, but 95% of his shit is great. Here's a nice sample.
