Rallycross event

2012 – Pastrana participated in another RallyCross event. For this, he sent a challenge video to Sébastien Loeb, who was at that time the eight-time-consecutive World Rally Championship Champion, asking him to race against him in the event. His invitation worked well as Loeb not only participated but his team made a new vehicle specifically for this event. Pastrana's effort ended up only to be in vain when he was forced to retire from the event by an accident caused by Andy Scott in the very first heat of the race. Pastrana could only watch Loeb - who dominated the whole race and got his first gold medal - in the sideways in the remaining of the event, and never actually raced against him as Pastrana planned for.
