I really like the fact that Pastrana invited Loeb. At first sight, i'm french and i'm happy that Loeb won the race against Block. But at second sight, it's great for the whole world of WRC who really needs some entertainment ( and so, money ), like Block has with Gymkhana. That's pretty cool. So thanks to you american drivers, Pastrana and Block, that permit us, our WRC World to be more known to new public. And also thanks Loeb to prove to the world, that your a WRC legend pilot from now.

I like how when the English commentator was listing Loeb's achievements the American commentator was like "yeah sure but Ken Block is in second place with a flat tire" you can hear it in her voice that she's butthurt that her fellow Americans got the floor wiped with them by some Frenchman. Lmao no body can give Loeb a run for his money, he won championships while staying in his bed, that's how good he is

[@guyfihi]

Loeb is the best Rally driver, no one can rationally deny that. I like Rally racing, Rally cars, and the whole Rally "scene." Even though I am American, I never was a big stock car race fan, but I think that takes a certain amount of skill also, just a different racing culture. Poor Ken Block just can't get a break in Rally racing, flat tires, crashes, he didn't advance much past the lower mid level in WRC. The Euros have us beat there.

[@drea177cha5er]

loeb: sunday drive. fans: lucky to be able to see one of the best in the world in action, even if he was just taking it easy

[@syriansyrup1314]

Loeb just dominated, no one on this track can touch him.

[@UnHappyHarvick]

Watching this hits different after Ken Block unfortunately passed... 😔

[@Dipierox]

The difference between Loeb and the others was simple : traction. Loeb never did some fancy drifts because he knows it costs time. I was surprised every time he was doing a hairpin in wrc : everyone would do some long drifts around the corner while Loeb simply braked, turned and went full gas.

[@AbsoluteRandomnessYT]

It depends on the driver though. You see Colin McRae doing drifts on hairpins at fast speed most of the time of his WRC career. Loeb just prefers grip when tackling hairpins.

[@songohan3931]

@@AbsoluteRandomnessYT some drifting is fine but a lot of rally drivers think it’s formula drift lol

[@ISaintLoupI]

Sebastien Loeb crosses the finish line, parks his car at the stand, gets out of the car, goes into the locker room, takes a shower, puts on a cup of coffee and sits next to the track, takes his smartphone and is waiting to take a selfie when Ken Block crosses the finish line ...

[@Jojo_Bee]

Undeniable. :] Good analysis, is all I can say now. On the other hand, this has been an awesome show... I hope this becomes a marketing tool for WRC as represented by Loeb, while the rest of the world can also appreciate the X-Games represented by Block (something he's been doing really well with that gymkhana), Foust, Pastrana, and the rest of the crew!

[@tomvancon5315]

Rest in peace Ken block and Tanner Foust. You guys were some of the best

[@e354s45]

should give Block credit for maintaining second place on three tires. it's take a lot of skill to keep that under control. Loeb is undeniably one of the best rally/rallycross racers in history. he started out as nothing & when his boss saw him drive his Ferrari, he suggest Loeb did racing. here he is today with incredible display of skill. Loeb & Block deserved those medals.

[@TheLazyHangman]

Yeah, the difference is that Block doesn't actually "race" for a living. It's like comparing Lakers and Harlem Globetrotters.

loeb has to be the most underrated driver in the world. I dont follow rallying, i follow formula one yet i still think he is quite possibly the greatest driver of all time no person has dominated a sport like he has legend.

[@MurdaboMusic]

Quality coverage of all of the race and not just 1st place runner, X Games. Nice long race too! hah

[@tempyy5]

Whats that hot wheels flip ramp thing for?

[@LexusFman]

Look at all the people hatin. Seb is a great racer don't get me wrong, but just because he won doesn't mean the field isn't experienced. Global Rallycross has Marcus Gronholm, a 2 time WRC champion, Tanner Foust, the first American to win a European RallyCross round (and he came in 2nd place for the entire championship), and various highly experienced European Rallycross aces like Sverre Isachsen(3-Time defending European champion) and Toomas Heikkinen. That makes the win even better for Loeb.

[@Gummby69]

not questioning there ability. but did block and loebs car have the active diffts that wrc has banned from there category at the begining on last year?

[@Gwenh2o]

10 seconds in the face of ken block hahahaha he's the king :D

[@Jojo_Bee]

I'll have to commend on Ken Block driving on 3-wheels and managed to keep his position. I guess seeing him race in WRC improved his skill afterall. That's some fighting spirit despite all the probable pressure from the fans, media, sponsors, etc... a true sportsman -- not just the gymkhana entertainer he became famous for.

[@theryandavies]

Loeb is just amazing in a car Rally and Rallycross two completely different sports and he dominates all

[@markhondacivic4368]

If you watched the whole coverage of the race, you'd see how much praise the commentator was giving to Loeb. He even chose Loeb to win it all. He wouldn't stop talking about Loeb. He was saying Loeb is a rookie to Rallycross not Rally. They are similar in some regards but very different in others.

[@LingyMS]

[@SaviorSix]

I have to ask... How long does it take to clean up the streets after an event like this? Do they try to get rid of the skid marks?

[@miketwotwenty]

They need to bring rallycross back to the xgames

[@MinhLe-kt5zg]

Michael Darrisaw fact

[@004nation]

Agreed. I wanted to see the second place "battle", although since there was no coverage, I'm not sure how close it was. I was kinda hoping it would be similar to Rene Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve back in the day but thanks to the full victory lap coverage of Loeb winning by over ten seconds, the rallycross event wasn't as exciting as it is hyped up to be.

[@Kaizy]

- resistance to handle all of this for the whole season on snow, sand, asphalt etc. that´s really driving art for me. So Sebastian Loeb is best driver on the planet for at least this decade for me.

[@tbtstt]

Fully agree. Looking at the change in positions between 3rd and 6th in the last couple of laps there must have been some racing going on. Yet all we get is coverage of Loeb out on his own.

[@06yas]

The greatest victory it may be to admit defeat ... merci mister Loeb !!! et vous les ricains vous êtes pas seul au monde!!!

[@cchhrrkkllee]

Loeb is one of the best drivers in the rally scene for sure and i had a felling he would dominate x games rally this year

[@ALVIN1920]

The only way this could be fair it's between Sébastien Loeb and Petter Solberg, because they are the best WRC drivers, just give Solberg any car any day and that would worth to watch

[@jiggmin1234]

[@AttackTheGasStation1]

Loeb retired, he'll race only 4 or 5 rallyes in the 2013 WRC. He has just won the 1rst one yesterday..... Legend.

[@Zerinsakech]

1st Sebastien Loeb (French). 2nd Ken Block (American). 3rd Deegan (American). 4th Foust (American). 5th Millen (New Zealand.) 6th Liam Doran (Great Britain). 7th David Binks (Great Britain). 8th David Higgins (Great Britain). 9th Samuel Hubinette (Swedish). 10th Sverre Isachsen (Norway). Considering the Americans had so much bad luck in this race with Block tire down, Foust rear axel damage, Pastrana crashed out, they did a great job. Not to mention, they are new at it, unlike 6 -10th place.

[@BeSFxxStr0ngFire]

It was fun watching one guy race.

[@niksarass]

He's not retired, he will compete in WTCC and other many ponctual competitions, French GT touring, maybe Le mans, champion of champion, etc etc..

[@AttackTheGasStation1]

My comment was a tribute to Loeb. Give me a break.

[@lawless8723]

you are so correct!! I laughed when Block said in an interview, that it will be interesting to see how Loeb adapts to having several cars on the track at the same time.....In my head I was like.....you do know Loeb has had podium finishes in LeMans.....dumbass...still Block is entertaining to watch, I was just annoyed at his statements

[@terra6269]

and yes it's not ford Citroen and Loeb is not block

[@MrDissiuk]

he's done multiple tests with the Red Bull F1 team, rumours were that he could even have been replacing Mark Webber for the last couple of seasons. During a test at Catalunya in 2008 he posted a time of 1:22.5, the lap record is only 1:21.67.

[@ShatteredEagle]

Freakin exactly! The shots of Loeb you cant even see Block in second, but they keep the cameras on him while Block is driving around sans rear tire and still holds down second!

[@Lyricoholic]

btw. great Comercial for Citroen ;)

[@luchi.el.zorrito]

I'm not biased towards Block but damn bro, you have to admit a second place position with a flat is pretty bad ass from an average guy point of view.

[@migueltavaress]

Loeb is a beast..best wrc driver ever indeed.

[@ptijbjb]

8-time world champion soon wrc 9. the best driver of all time

[@Zerinsakech]

I agree with you on that, Loeb is simply the best. Better than Americans, Europeans (except France). He's the best Rally driver ever. However, you got to give the american drivers credit for finishing 2, 3, 4 in a sport that is somewhat new to them. Heck 5 - 10 place are regular rallycross drivers who grew up doing it (not sure about Millen though). Can't wait for next years x games. I hope Loeb returns. If he does, i will make the trip to LA to watch a Legend drive :)

[@MrMaxila]

So glad they brought Toby Moody in as commentator, he is awesome!

[@ryan_twilliams]

Just think how awesome this final would've been had Gronholm been racing. Get well soon Marcus!

[@uguegue]

I think no need for insults, it's a sport we all love and such performance is very good for other drivers to see, then it gets more fun, the stack as been raised by loeb . Let's see how the others react and how long it will take them to catch up . I love this sport people, no dising each other ,teasing is aloud ;)

Ken Block ça glisse, Sebastien Loeb ça gagne!!! Ou encore Block c'est bien mais loeb c'est mieux!!! Vive ce champion et toute l'équipe de Citroen racing!! Bravo seb t'es le meilleur et tu l'as encore prouvé, rendez vous en Alsace. Pouce bleu a tout les français fier de ce champion.

[@jacklooney3856]

Certainly, Loeb is the greatest, but Citroen and Peugeot deserve credit for building some of the best competition cars. Peugeot (owner of Citroen) won the world endurance car championship last year in their 908 3.7 litre turbo diesel. Yes, they didn't win 2011 Le Mans but lost to Audi by 13 seconds after 24 hrs. But, Peugeot won the remaining races, including Sebring (12hr.) and Petit Le Mans (10hrs.) at Road Atlanta. They also won Spa, Silverstone, China, and others.

[@oliatkelston]

[@coenijn]

I love how controlled Loeb goes through the gravel hairpin compared to block, Loeb is so close to the wall and hardly breaks out, compared to block. Also, this is a WRC car not european rally championship

[@Spyker8921]

This is a rallycross car.

[@Jojo_Bee]

What I want to know is that, does Rally-X have any regulations for making the cars even? I guess there is? However, I believe you'd understand knowing the fact that the technology and experience applied in setting up Loeb's Citroen car was based on WRC. So let's say they even it out in power output and weight, however, suspension geometry and components, as well other settings combined with Loeb's exceptional skill make it a dominating package.

[@clems75]

yes, the commentators said so. And? Loeb was still taking to Block more than 0.5s/lap for the first 3 laps when Block was on 4 wheels.

[@WhitewalkerII]

Citroen is here with the DS3 of Loeb and the C4 of Doran. Citroën is the best for rallying.

[@luverboy77]

Im not gonna argue there but you have to admit that block has been a huge driving force here in the states for bringing awareness to the sport of rally cross. I mean thats how i got intrested in the WRC. No more of that boring oval nascar crap.

[@MrReRacer]

Loeb totally dominated this race. 11 second win. Thats like 5 minutes in a rally.

[@TonysRacing600]

I like that, here in Europe RallyCross is far more popular but there is absolutly no broadcast, at least not in Germany.

8 times WRC champion, 2nd in Le Mans 2006. He probably could have gone to F1, but he didn't get the FIA Super Licence, because he had not done enough circuit racing at lower levels.
