The best drivers of the planet in Los Angeles Xgames Ralltcross. <br />X Games Rallycross 2012 Los Angeles featuring Sebastien Loeb, Ken Block, Tanner Foust, Travis Pastrana. <br />Sébastien Loeb does Gymkhana now? Here’s some recent footage of rally champion Loeb participating in a Red Bull sponsored gymkhanaesqe event down in Argentina over the weekend. We’ll keep our thoughts to ourselves for now, but it sure does seem like Loeb is following in the footsteps of a certain very popular video released by Ken Block not too long ago. <br />So what do you guys think, Loeb versus Block, who would come out on top? <br />In a thrilling finale to this year’s X Games, eight-time world rally champion Sébastien Loeb dominated the field in the RallyCross final after qualifying in 4th. <br /> <br />But it was a day of mixed fortunes for the fairy-tale story that brought the Frenchman to Los Angeles. Travis Pastrana, who lured Loeb to the event with a public challenge, was unceremoniously pushed out of the event, when 58-year-old Scottish fisherman Andy Scott rammed him into a wall. Pastrana’s Dodge Dart was so badly damaged he was unable to restart. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Pastrana was seething, as he watched Loeb dominate the 10-car final — a shoot-off which he helped set up, but was unable to take part in. the multiple X Games champion tried to take over teammate Bryce Menzies’ spot in the last-chance qualifier, but X Games rules didn’t allow it. <br /> <br />But Pastrana was not the only one who missed the chance to square off with the rally legend, long-time WRC rival Marcus Grönholm was hospitalised the day before when his Best Buy Ford Fiesta collided with a concrete post in qualifying, leaving him unconscious. <br /> <br /> <br />The Finnish rally legend, who currently leads the Global RallyCross Championship, had already qualified in 5th and was trying to improve upon his time when he hit the post. His team released a statement last night saying Grönholm had regained consciousness after sustaining some bleeding on his brain and was able to move all his limbs. <br /> <br />Loeb said after his victory, “We know it’s a high level event and I’m really pleased to win, ..but maybe my main rival, Marcus Grönholm, wasn’t able to race. I’m just happy he’s OK.” <br /> <br />Loeb drove a specially prepared 545bhp Citroën DS3 ‘XL’ in the event, based on a similar chassis and suspension to his WRC DS3. However the DS3 XL’s two-litre turbo engine develops 590 lb-ft of torque, propelling it from 0 to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds – in other words, not far off an F1 car. <br /> <br />Sunday’s race was a scrappy affair. After a restart Loeb shot into the lead, heading Block for a couple of labs before steadily pulling away. Block meanwhile ran the last 3 laps on a flat rear tyre, finishing more than 12 seconds behind Loeb. His Ford Fiesta teammate, Brian Deegan, finished in third with British RallyCross star Liam Doran finishing 5th – also struggling with a flat tyre. <br /> <br />“It’s great to have Seb here,” Block said, “but I knew him coming here meant one thing: that he’d be near the top of the podium, which is the way it is.” <br /> <br />Block spoke with Marcus Grönholm after the event, who seemed to have regained his spirits, saying he was pissed Loeb won. <br />Tags: <br />Ambulance Fail <br />Another Mascot Fail <br />Another Skateboarding Fail <br />Backflip Fail <br />Backflip Fail <br />Backspin Fail <br />Ball Jump Fail <br />Barrier Jump Fail <br />Baseball Fail <br />Basketball Dunk Fail <br />Basketball Hoop Fail <br />Bassist Fail <br />Beaver Catching Fail <br />Best Man Fail <br />best fails <br />best of fails <br />best fails this month <br />Bike Jump Fail <br />Bike Jump Fail <br />Bike Landing Fail <br />Bike Stunt Fail <br />Biking Fail <br />BMX Treadmill Fail <br />Boogie Board Fail <br />Break Dance Fail <br />Bull Win <br />Burnout Fail <br />Bus Ride Fail <br />Cannon Fail <br />Car Handstand Fail <br />Caravan Fail <br />Catapult Fail <br />Celebration Fail <br />Celebration Fail <br />Climbing Fail <br />Closet Door Fail <br />Coconut Breaking Fail <br />Coke Fail <br />Copier Win <br />compilation 2013 <br />compilation <br />Courage Fail <br />Crane Fail <br />Creek Jump Fail <br />Crucifixion Fail <br />Cyclist Fail <br />Dance Dance Fail <br />Dance Fail <br />Dance Fail <br />Desk Backflip Fail <br />Diver Fail <br />Diving Fail <br />Diving Fail <br />Diving Fail <br />Double Skateboard Fail <br />Drunk Climbing Fail <br />Drunk Fail <br />Dump Truck Fail <br />Dunk Fail <br />epic fails <br />epic fails compilation <br />Entrance Win <br />Escape Fail <br />Excitement Fail <br />Explosion Effect Fail <br />fails compilation <br />fails 2013 <br />Faceplant Series- Dancing Fail <br />Faceplant Series- Halfpipe Fail <br />Faceplant Series- Segway Fail <br />Fairy Fail <br />Fire Safety Fail <br />Flip Fail <br />Flip Fail <br />fails of the week <br />Fail Compilation Week 1 <br />Fail Compilation Week 2 <br />Fail Compilation Week 3 <br />Fail Compilation Week 4 <br />Fail Compilation February <br />Fail Compilation March <br />Fail Compilation April <br />Fail Compilation May <br />Fail Compilation june <br />Fail Compilation jule <br />Fail Compilation August <br />Fail Compilation September <br />Fail Compilation October <br />Fail Compilation November <br />Fail Compilation December <br />Fail Compilation January <br />FAIL Compilation 2013 <br />FAIL Compilation 2013 HD <br />Football Player Fail <br />Footloose Fail <br />Front Flip Fail <br />Frustrated Skateboarder Fail <br />funny fails <br />Game Fail <br />Game Show Set Fail <br />Garage Exit Fail <br />Gas Station Fail <br />Getting Out of the Way Fail <br />girl fails <br />girls fail <br />Guitarist Fail
