came accross thie video a while back but lost, just found it again. You must have to be insane to race at the speed less than a foot from a 1000foot drop.

s0d that for a game of soldiers!!!!

 

they are sheer drops there, and it looks like he's miles up the mountain!!!!!

 

gotta love it when he drives one handed so he can use his other hand to block the sun out.

 

and he's in a peugeot :twisted:

The driver in that clip is Ari Vatenen. I believe that run set the Pikes Peak record which stood for 7-8 years until Bobby Unser broke it in a 900bhp Toyota pickup.

 

Of course being at Pikes Peak just illustrates how good these top level drivers are because of the sheer drops either side. The WRC cars race every year on the mountains of the Monte Carlo rally (with ice patches on the bends) and few people one seem to notice that.

If you have a file sharer like Kazaa or Emule, search for "Course de Pike Peak" and you should find it ok.

I believe the film is called "Climb Dance" and won an award somewhere when it came out in the early 90's
