Pikes Peak Hillclimb, Loeb listed as Rookie ???

[sprintcup]

Typical American arrogance, it may be his 1st visit to the venue but to list a multiple WRC Rally champion as a " Rookie:S " to me is an insult, Looking at his testing and times against last years unlimited champion he's already 20 seconds quicker in the 2 lower sections and it's all tarmac to the top.

will be funny if the rookie spanks them

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I think it's great that he's listed as a Rookie, Hopefully he'll show them how it's done!

Is there online coverage of it? Should be a laugh.

Their race, their rules....

Rookie is a term used to describe a racing driver racing for the 1st time in an event. Whats he driving?

More grip just means you're going faster when you lose control and drive over the edge.

I'd rather crash slowly.

Is it seriously now all tarmac? How s**t, half the fun was the ass end out power slides for 2/3rds of the way up the hill. Might as well hold the event now in a multi story car park. Pikes parking.

Agreed, its not an insult its just showing that he hasnt competed at this event before.

Makes it even more impressive when you win.

Like Nigel Mansell won Indycar in his rookie year in 1993 for example.

NOOB!!!!!1!1!!

At Le Mans driver's who never raced, at Le Mans before are also regarded as a rookie!
