How can the car be this quick and agile when Mr Loeb obviously has to carry his pair of MASSIVE BALLS around! Respect to the man!

[@mcleodjohn2171]

it's like a tarmac special stage.. natural habitat of mr. Loeb

[@alvarokas]

Mcleod John my exact thought :)

[@Kneedragon1962]

Mcleod John Actually, tarmac was always the natural habitat of Sebastian. Gravel and snow and stuff was what he had to learn for rally. When he came into the top level, everybody noted that he was almighty fast on tar, but a trifle untidy on the loose stuff. That was where he had to improve.

[@Groagun]

Loeb is far an away the absolute best race car driver of our/this time. His skill set is head and shoulders above anyone else and I think it's an absolute privilege and joy to be alive to watch him now!

[@declanhenderson8894]

I'd like to see him in V8 supercars, that would be fun to watch.

[@hjembrentkent6181]

Max Verstappen

[@Groagun]

+Peder Hansen While I respect Schumacher and his ability to win F1 titles, let's not fool ourselves over who is and was better. Schumacher won his titles when there was almost zero real competition in the sport. Not until Hill/Villeneuve was there a serious threat and when given a challenge, Schumacher simply failed and resorted to dangerous and unprofessional actions on track: and that is the most polite language I can use to describe what I really think of him. Loeb on the other hand has always been the most professional and the more accomplished driver and more disciplines. To say that F1 is harder or better than WRC is just wrong. WRC drivers are the best i the world and can do it in any condition and on any surface and when given the chance, have proved their metal in all sorts of different series from F1 right down to American Stock and even lower forms of racing than that. I respect your appreciation if Mr. Schumacher but Mr. Loeb is by far and away the more accomplished and simply the better driver.

[@ReViv4L]

+Groagun That's not a completely fair comparison. When rallying, a driver goes first against hismelf, then agaisnt the road. On a track, the game set is very different. You have oponnents, and they often come in teams. That's the reason a track record is not a competition record. Further more, F1 is really the worst auto "track" competition, as obviously, it lacks the competition. And please, don't get me wrong. I, my self, do think of Mr. Loeb as one of the most desciplined and committed athletes.

[@Groagun]

+Riviere Marc I understand why you might say that but you don't know my full story.

[@Markkilleen.]

How relaxed he looks,big change compared to flying through the forests in Finland in the DS3.

[@testdirver]

this year put the speedometer and brake display, please

[@SupercarsGT]

Outstanding lap !!, i love see a this onboard view and feel the emotion like a driver as Loeb :)

[@Jedimaster36091]

Brilliant driving from Loeb. Great idea of racing WTCC on Nordschleife, other series should follow it.

[@MSiAventador]

Epic track, epic drive.

[@olafolafson8234]

Yes, it's a 6.57 with top châssis big breakes Little motor and word champion pilot ! Well done Sébastien ! But dont forget he Can Do the job with a moped, a truck, a skate, a bicycle an overboard, an A380 or whatever you want...

[@cellphonelightsaber]

...HE WILL STILL BE FASTER THAN YOU

[@giveitupforgreggiraldo]

not bad from a rookie... :D

[@TheTripol]

zigi :D ))))

[@hjembrentkent6181]

Not bad for front wheel drive xD

[@ilugihzgoy7688]

Let me correct. 4 wheel driver.

[@lillian75t]

clean + composed + precise = fast

[@cellphonelightsaber]

His gospel is grip.

[@fujigazone12]

Loeb's style:flat out everywhere!

[@IsraelSocial]

BEST race in all the year, beautiful

[@rubenvalente]

Epic epic race, can't aford to loose this.

[@Warsteinergo]

thx for drive one round whis you nice !

[@jakubkrcma]

This is approximately 7:01 (~ 1:49 - 8:50) for the regular Nordschleife (20,832 m). ULTRA performance!!! Things have gotten quite a bit quicker since 2007 WTCC (if GTR Evo simulates them well).

[@loudlow945]

Loeb: " les roues sont bien serrées ?" "Parce que je vais y aller à fond les gars là..." Impressionnant !!

[@j-ben1191]

😂

[@GreekParrot]

Espectacular, esperando la carrera de este fin de semana

[@jimnikas7]

Brakes and suspension brilliant like a train

[@TheTripol]

What a machine, the car and the driver! Just watched Lamborghini Aventador taking the whole lap in just 6.59.73, 2 seconds off the Porche 918.s time.. but I swear this seems like just as fast, so smooth and even though hes pushing, it seems so easy for him:D

[@alpinestars]

if you minus the track section he technically did it in the same time

[@MoniFps]

this wasn't a video, it was an experience.

[@Dr.IanPlect]

a video experience

[@christianogiuliano6088]

Truc de fou 😰 Loeb c'est le patron ! Y a pas photo ....

[@iRacerCButton]

Loeb is a real hero. A great Champion. An impressive man. Telemetry is lacking

[@Kodreanu23]

Awesome driving and speed! But funny, though, if I am not mistaken, this is around 6:45, which is not that much faster than Radical and Porsche 918... Nevertheless, this is a treat to watch! Thank you, Citroen and all the best!

[@eXeLeNeRgY]

Kodreanu23 rather a 7:00

[@Hamisxa]

Kodreanu23 6:45 was around the Nordschleife, this is the 24HR Layout. Has a part of the GP, so cars will go around 1 min slower than on the Nord layout.

[@WhitewalkerII]

Kodreanu23 The Porsche 918 and Radical (or a GT3 car) are much more powerful than a WTCC car. Give Loeb (or Sabine Schmitz ^^ ) the Radical and the best lap ever would be even faster.

[@welshpug]

Kodreanu23 when you consider its a 36mm restricted 1600 turbo running no more than 2.5 bar for 380 bhp at max rpm of 8500, and minimum weight of 1100kg. and its FWD.

[@18iser]

welshpug I really like the way they restrict WTCC cars so that in fact they are still regular CARS!

[@antonkaps]

FLAT OUT!!! Amazing driving!!!

[@bayuajiwr]

did anyone notice, he lifted off his left foot away from the brake pedal on 8:04 to 8:27 ?

[@RaresEnache]

***** yes I did, time for a coffee at 150mph ;)

[@manfirebirdF350]

***** straight line, no need to brake

[@dlococo6124]

***** Full Throttle :)

[@alexcelica2zz848]

+Bayu Aji Widyadi Rahmat u have to relax to get the max speed, u have to be relax to go fast, watch him again take a complete look to sebastian on that moment

[@MrJomaya]

MADNESS!!!

[@chouany0113]

Merci tu es un dieu

[@UK-Blue]

Simply the best 🐶

[@AnthonyMalesys]

Absolute Legend !

[@jaakkokontu6992]

löeb is master! ...and citröen! löeb it is my hero, even he is younger me!

[@igenius8167]

It would have been nice if you could see how fast he's going :D Quality is great tho, nice vid

[@HDRGuy]

I think i'll stick with project cars for now haha, great driving. perfect

[@LeonardZech]

The master!

[@Luchingador]

awesome, next time please upload it at 60FPS :D

[@Steven4cr]

Andddddddddd Howww mucchhh he did???

[@Kovalos]

The WRC misses its KING !

[@cellphonelightsaber]

KING OF GODS

[@danielpghe]

McRae? Yeah .. that king ;) Oh .. Loeb. Sorry. McRae is the Legend! Loeb is the king, got it now ;)

[@CKlasseDTM]

@@danielpghe that's true, all the legends are exagerated while we know precisely what Kings were able to do ;)

[@rlazo33]

Genial !!!

[@kekelinks]

I'm so happy to own a C-Elysee. Well not the WTCC version but still. lol

[@s.alessio5623]

The Legend

[@djcomixfromfrance2326]

ca accroche bien dans les virages !

[@Michael_Michaels]

This is a joy to watch but the camera is near the ground, to look faster than it is...

[@ExMachinaEngineering]

MikeVonDoom If you take into consideration that the WTCC cars are doing 255kph (flat in 6th gear) on the back straight, and then see with which gear he goes through corners and where he's braking (!!!)... It's as fast as it looks.

[@Michael_Michaels]

Kostas Froudarakis That's exactly what _they_ want you to think!!!

[@SMJSmoK]

MikeVonDoom yeah, I think the Illuminati put the camera there!

[@kaitlynbaker2207]

MikeVonDoom easily would have been aound the 7 minute mark if it was a full ring lap. their is no such thing as making it look faster than it is at those lap times

[@gillesgauthier2035]

loeb is a boss

[@kherchia73]

The Man!!

[@loosht]

Oh my! Un-fucking-believable!

[@chrispaschris]

Ist's amazing!

[@hughkeyworth1650]

Bravo..

[@cdbg3]

with Daniel Elena on the ther side, and anyone can think it was an random rally stage

[@jaakkokontu6992]

master is MASTER!!!

[@michaelanderson7715]

approx. 7:00 Nordschleife lap time

[@daliborjularic7031]

Is this Citroen C-Elysee WTCC or some other car?

[@yunikitadai1331]

close to 20 cars, bumper to bumper with a few bangs here and there, no codrivers or pace notes on Greenhell for 3 laps is utter madness... How the hell are they going to clear the debris, or capture the action (on TV) for such a huge course. Do the team radios have such a long range? This race is definately going to seperate the men from the boys...

[@karoma7898]

Why would you use that camera angle?!

[@84PatSch]

The german race track called Nordschleife will be available soon in the racing simulation RaceRoom Racing Experience / #R3E.

[@Turbohayabusa100]

Near the same Time as the Porsche 918 Video!!

[@dufonrafal]

+Turbo Busa the 918 didn't do the whole circuit ;)

[@geogan2]

I still think the big old gear change lever is a bit unsafe and unwieldy compared to the much more convenient paddle shifters on the steering wheels of supercars. The fact he keeps having to take his hand off the steering wheel to change gear as he's slowing down to corner, wouldn't it be a lot safer to have paddle shifters on wheel so he could keep both hands on wheel at all times?

[@Tony_Bonntana]

entering Flugplatz like crazy....:)

[@tiagoalmeida5859]

Go go go seb Loeb!!!! 💪💪💪💪

[@TheXixo1]

he is god!

[@2vespino]

Pas une erreur,comme en Rally. Je me demande si l'appel/contre appel lui manque....

[@jeremiep3095]

loeb best driver

[@michelroudaut1466]

Pour un pilote de Rally.. Il ce débrouille très bien

[@WhitewalkerII]

Seems easy for him...

[@pit19931]

Well the man is 9 times world rally champion, pikes peak winner has raced le mans and sportscars it would obviously seem easy for him

[@manjavola]

he takes more risks than I use to take, braks latter than me, even though he is on real life not on playstation... damn sick

[@jorgedesantiagon.8901]

Loeb is getting a lot faster than last year.

[@gerardos.becerraa.4878]

That grip ....

[@testdirver]

imagine this car in assetto corsa

[@giveitupforgreggiraldo]

+Rolando Loeb there is a mod for AC, but its private :( i would totally buy it if it was for sale, but there is no option for have it. in raceroom you can play with it if you want :)

[@testdirver]

you can donate to have it about10 euros they want pitsims but i got in r3e last sale

[@maoowww]

If you want to play a free official WTCC 2016 competition, whose round 3 is on the Nürburgring 24h, download Raceroom and do your best time! ;)

[@bartoromero1]

8.45 full lap? Niezły ogier z tego Loeba... :)

[@AntonyBoulanger]

Je regarde cette vidéo et j'ai pris son chrono approximatif sur un tour du circuit où les constructeurs s'affrontent. Il tourne à peu près à 7 minutes au tour. l'Alpine A110 de chez MP réseau tourne en 7 minutes 04 c'est-à-dire 4 secondes derrière sachant qu'elle fait le même poids et l'Alpine fait 320 chevaux alors que la Citroën fais 380 chevaux. l'Alpine n'est vraiment pas ridicule sachant qu elle est que 4 secondes derrière avec le même poids mais 60 chevaux de moins et ce n'est pas Loeb au volant

[@laisferreira1463]

,,,and Rubens Barrichello says: "I'm surprise.. he is a good driver, not bad.." oO

[@meikmuller2366]

Anyone any specs on the car??

[@meikmuller2366]

[@92Cope]

what is the time of the lap? anyone ?

[@florincarp7006]

92Cope On the shortened version of Nordschleife i see a 6:56...entered at 1:52 and would have finished at around 8:48. For a FWD, 380 HP car,this is brilliant.

[@92Cope]

well honda type r new it's 7:52 :D wtf? xD

[@marchelkindangen5906]

Florin Carp that was insane, mate.... 380HP car can make lap time under 7 minutes, while many cars with a bigger horsepower can make it over 7 minutes, brilliant.

[@johnygrasa]

Flugplatz flat out!! That man has some testicular fortitude. 2:38

[@cellphonelightsaber]

MGU-B units operating at 100% efficiency. Jaw dropped when he started catching just a little bit of air, plowed through the next corner, and then just upshifts because God of World Rallye.

[@alpinestars]

I not too mention flat out after the last biggest straight away into the chicane high speed braking

[@VogonJ]

Nice! Still some "learning the track". Those cars are scary fir us "normal" people..

[@BL-ki9qm]

its so fast it almost looks like the video is sped up!

[@muzictherpy]

well this is really very fast..

[@Benj-p5w]

man, this dude is from another world...it looks like its faster that 918 spyder even though the car is only 380hp

[@tomssss]

Freeze at 4:19. Gold :D

[@eduardoantonioescobarmarti5586]

este citroen no utiliza el clutch [pregunto]*

[@tiagoabreu4107]

No utiliza... Es sequential

[@59vaughn]

Yeah...he's purty good....😒😏

[@dominiquedourneau7425]

We need to see speedo..man to bet an idea of how fast ..he is going...i know he is going super fast...but for the tech side ...

[@cemalabrigo]

FUCKKKKKKK, I'm crying right now!!

[@garysimmons9778]

👍

[@Michael_Michaels]

Sébastien Loeb: The French with Finnish driving genes!

*WTCC 2015

[@Venim1ceblade]

I have the same driving skills in Nurburgring, but...with Gran Turismo 4 on PS2 lmao

[@Mr11ESSE111]

probem with WTcc cars that their max speed are around 200kmh and they are not sutable for nurburgring where you can go on straight lines 300+kmh

[@meissonnierthierry2711]

Nordscheilfe is a another level, is a true circuit only for man, is not a shit a1ring!

[@HOTELALPHA57970]

What else..........

[@joat9105]

6.57

[@Paxal06]

on voit rien

[@ypsilon3005]

he needs to quit down that poor Citroen and join fia wec LMP1's

[@ladymaria9529]

When u realize that this was just a safe lap of him 🤣

[@AntonyBoulanger]

Désolé je me reprends l'Alpine MP réseau tourne en 7 minutes 08 en tour complet donc il y a 8 secondes mais ce n'est pas ridicules non plus avec 60 chevaux de moins et le pilote n'est pas le même

[@philippebajeux4130]

What you maybe do not guess is that this car' s engine is powerless. I wonder what could have been here with an enhanced 1300KG/1000 HP Citroen instead of this lame 1100 KG/385 HP one

[@E500]

Быстренько...а дать ему получше машинку, и в 6 минут уложится

[@93dani]

F1 drivers do this all day

Dejar a Sordo y lo hace mejor...
