What’s the fastest way down a mountain? Four wheels or two? Mountain bike or rally car?

Andrew Lacondeguy, Red Bull Rampage winner and world class freerider, faces off against World Rally Championship driver Dani Sordo in Fast Encounter. The course? Portugals Lousã hill.

Sordo’s 300-plush bhp Hyundai Motorsport rally car has the clear advantage in top-end speed, but Lacondeguy finds a more direct rouge down Lousã.

Of course, the premise is the perfect set up for a road gap. Lacondeguy and Sordo deliver, don’t worry. It just might not be the one you’re expecting.
