Have you heard of Climb Dance? Climb Dance is an award-winning short film of about 5 minutes that documents Ari Vatanen’s record-breaking run at the 1988 annual Pike’s Peak Hill Climb Event in Colorado. The car used is a Peugeot 405 T16 with four-wheel-drive and four-wheel-steering. Footage from the video was recorded from cameras placed inside, in front, underneath and above the car, and cut together by Louis Mourey. Check out the video after the jump.

God-like.
I want to drive like him, and my car to look like his ;p
not too sure what won it the awards, but boy, would I love to have that engine to go up genting…
nice Pikes Peak hill climb !! it is Drift skill come for pikes peak also ??? looks dangerouse … when facing the sun light … it didn't c clearly … will drop down to hill …
I think the twin-engined twin turbo escudo driven by Monster Tajima must be more mental than this.
Tajima is the current world record holder for Pikes Peak Uphill and Downhill climb.
Woo…. if jatuh how??????
Amazing that this video won so many film awards. IMHO speeding up Pikes Peak on a loose surface like that is tantamount to playing Russian Roulette!
good skill
damn brave
I saw this when i finished playing V RALLY one during my Universities time.
i can guess the average speed he going over 160kmh
BigCar… if jatuh no award for short-film la.. hahaha… but sweet driving skills.. plain sweet.. and the engine.. oozing out pure unhealthy lust for all petrol heads
by the way.. since we are on this topic of sweet and fearless driving skills.. anybody by any chance would hold the Getaway in Stockholm 6 and 7?
man… this is amazing! i never seen this short film before, first impression gives me a huge wow… im truly amazed with the camera techniques they are using… cant believe in the 80s they manage to come up with this high quality short film with high quality video shots!!! brilliant!
Brilliant indeed!!
Err…Paul….where to download ah? It is rare to find such good quality race video and what's more with Ari Vatanen in it. He's like a legend in rally. I'd like to keep a copy.
sxe10r: rally drivers have been drifting cars more than 30 years before drifting became popular with todays younger generation.
this film is the best ever done on pikes peak imho. the 405T16 was already a legend in its time, and with Ari Vatanen, near perfection
i remember the first time i saw this film was almost 17 years ago.
damn.. the scenes when he was reaching the peak gave me sweaty palms.. haha
Ari is a legend.
