    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.

    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!

    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.
