[BarryKunz64]

You will never see anyone doing this again because THEY PAVED IT ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!! WHY??? Probably some environmental nutjob group whining about dust getting getting thrown all over the dirt or maybe some endangered SHIT FLY wont be able to survive. who knows.

[BarryKunz64]

R.I.P.? Is this guy no longer with us?

[Menolifee]

@BarryKunz64 Yes he is.

[BarryKunz64]

@Menolifee yeah , I looked him up, he,s a politician now from what I read.

[aguijon2008]

Sin duda nadie podra igualar este video, hagan lo que hagan lo llevo al limite y quedara en la retina de todos lo que nos apaciona el automovilismo.

[carowe27]

the only dislikes are of those people who cant drive.

[EatMe772]

1:14 I dont know what it was but its definitely death

[DimmeDriver]

1:13 R.I.P

[glazealotabrass420]

makes my 50+ mph runs through rec. 35mph mountain turns in my 240sx look like shit..

[HarisBilal1994]

at 1:17 what car is that on the right ?

[cupidblues]

better than Nurburgring

[PernellDD]

@cupidblues No, it's phenomenal but there is nothing better than the Nurburgring.... Nothing.

[holycow119]

poor bug :{

[ArkaelDren]

Balls that create Gravity.......no really his balls collect things

[anairetis]

If Vatanen could repeat this race on the pikes peak surface of today the time probably would be under 9 m!!

[capmarvelous]

Absoulutely amazing, the paved road these days takes away I think from the challenges these guys should be facing

[max27890]

SHITTY FPS QUALITY!!! See my version, instead... youtube.com/watch?v=yu1QuVqw-l­g

[hotfuss747]

15 people cant appreciate anything about cars, racing, or life in general

[rom91000]

405 T16

[comali2212]

Even Ari Vatanen himself will shit in his pants when seeing his video in this footage.

It's beyond just rally driving, far beyond.

[comali2212]

The power of this Peugeot is surreal!

[96Ostin]

master



[justapurarch]

"Side of what cliff?"

ROFL floored it and the bastards doing a 180!

[kekodeannecy]

vatanen!

[janssen70]

pikes peak was a traning session for the WRC group B teams

[LeonAzzollini]

Pretty sure you can see this guys balls from space!

[Asop43]

lol at the bug at 1:14

[CH3MIS7RY]

@Asop43 he'll be alright...

[yodavai]

best vid ever?

[TomPconnolly]

this is a true motor sport, not a bunch of goons going round n round n round n round .. and they still manage to crash! F1 btw :D

[theRITTZer]

@TomPconnolly ohh... F1... i thought you were talking about nasscar. *vomit*

[StealthNinjaX2]

man, that sun at 1:50, fucking dangerous

[boeboester]

Ari Vatanen best rally driver ever

first attempt from this man was in 1987 with a Peugeot 205 T16 4x4

[davidtick]

They should invest in sun visors just sayin xD

[9989126]

1:55 = crazy f*ck head

[PrivateRyan798]

1:26 balls of steel!!!

[Brickerage]

video's been sped up. Looks cool tho

[Stormer94]

FINALLY, a car video where you get to HEAR THE CAR!!  THUMBS UP!!!!

[crossettaro]

complimenti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSystemRevolution]

Ari Vatanens drive, Climb Dance is no doubt, the greatest ever drive at Pikes Peak ... No barriers, no tarmac, plenty of sun and 22 years old ... Awesome! (someone said he hit the bank, all the good drives clip the sides.

[SuperSalopio]

French car! =D

[wittybittyspider]

it's not so precise driving, and there is better version of this video

original 05:15 video is a winner of:

-1990 grand Prix du film Festival de Chamonix

-1990 Gold Award International Film Festival, Houston

-1990 Silver Screen US Industrial Film & Video Festival, Chicago

-1990 Prix Special du Jury, Geme Gestival International du film D'Aventure Val D'isere

this is just cropped version. original version is awesome, and it's a shame to crop it like this. it's just 2 minutes longer.

[juliusURVAN]

@wittybittyspider not precise? then what the fuck would you call it when your driving as fast as you possibly can while staying on the good side of a cliff...careless?

[wittybittyspider]

@juliusURVAN he is a damn good driver, but in longer version you can see that he misses corner or two and hits rocks. i'm sorry, i just say that this is not the best driving that was seen up there.

[resu19]

@wittybittyspider Tell me 1 that dont miss a corner or 2. Also keep in mind the difference between the high-tech stuff that's in the cars today, that simply didnt exist back then. Not here to say he is the best or not, but saying that he misses a corner or 2 in a rally stage (where the track conditions can change because of the car that passed by before) is just a fail argument :p

[royaloreca]

@wittybittyspider This was the best driving, accept that, lol this was record setting, mind blistering and without any real electronic aids like cars have today

[PodTony]

Yess!

[cmzangetsu1993]

This is before they added guard rails

[betterdropdatdonk]

@cmzangetsu1993 They have guard rails now?! LOL

[cmzangetsu1993]

@betterdropdatdonk yeah

[247RIOT]

SKILLZ

[NairottoSamurai]

@247RIOT at 1:50 that i call skillz a car with so much horse power and drive with one hand when the sun hits your face \(^_^)_

[jookiyaya]

wow... him just covering the sun like that... and just barely inches from a cliff drop!? thats O.G. lol. thats gangster. thumbs up ! even in gran turismo 5 would you guys do that confidently?

[betterdropdatdonk]

@jookiyaya LMAO NO! HAHAHA DAAYUUMMM

[mokgboy]

turn left to go right

[volldegineorigional]

i would be scared shitless driving a car at 100+ miles an hour that close to those cliffs.

[hanglowlikeballsin83]

wow

[deGothiaSweden]

1:57 ! OMFG thats close!

[299vasilis]

i shit my pants a couple (of hundrend) times there..!! hahahaha!

[sillouete1624]

there are certain people in this world that i would like to hug

[eldewen]

the original gymkhana!

[trellas33]

ari vatanen for ever

[888mexico]

BALLS OF STEEL!! 1:23 - 1:31

[tamick21]

Look at the Sun, Speeds Up.

[youknub]

THAT SUN WOULD HAVE FUCKED ME

[monsterbikeroot]

When he had to block out the sun with his hand my brain turned to shit.

[Indy7272]

@monsterbikeroot I sometimes have to do that on a motorcycle when approaching a corner against sunshine, not a nice thing to not be able to see anything.

[xCGIx]

1:50 OMG

[monsterGAUZ]

this video shows, what pikes peak is and what it should be in the future - a dirt track! these god damn idiots really want pikes peak to become a 100 percent pavement track...... a shame to destroy the real pikes peak hillclimb race!!

[xloebx]

vatanen.....=) lol!!

[WheresSteveCo]

haha 1:50 one hand on the wheel

[thcorpcp]

2:14 not to precise



[mikefranky]

Driver and car are fuken animals!!

[guigapizzi4wii123]

WOULD SOME RAIL GUARDS COST MUCH????

[jamiekenta]

@guigapizzi4wii123 no, but it would take away from the intensity of the race!!! lol

[kaako86]

That was mesmerizing. Just wow. 

[marshkid1]

This video made me weep, its that good.

[MrPlazone]

The best video ive ever seen on you tube. Respect. The back drop bit is amazing. Also watch 'crazy rally drift' It's all Gigi Galli, watch the last clip its gooooooooooooooood.

[stopsira]

1:26 is pure bravery.

[jtk78]

his name is Ari Vatanen and the car has 600 horsepower and weights 900 kilos....

[blackmanpancakes]

dam this guy is so boss

[Vedad24]

i cant believe that only two of this Peugeout were build and other one was racing at paris dakar :)). i was trying to find how many horses this have but everywehere i looked i got same results. it says like 220horses and like 310 feet of torque.

but by watching this video this car has to have at least 500 horses, because audi quatro S1 had 500 horses.

[EASiedlecki]

1:52 is amazing.

[vasterbottning]

I drove up this mountain yesterday, 10 miles an hour scare to death

[PeterHBne1]

@vasterbottning Isnt it funny? I've driven a couple of classic tracks and, as you say, you are terrified at pathetic speeds. Let alone 10 million miles an hours like these guys. It is only then you get a glimpse & understanding of their true unfathomable talent.

[vasterbottning]

@PeterHBne1 That is so true, I sure have a newfound admiration to this guys and girls...........They MUST be at least a little crazy ?

[kooch555]

cannon balls?? try bowling balls...my squirrel nuts hurt after watching this..

[drchepa]

if audi had rohl , peugeot had one of the bests vatanen, awesome footage i think is from 1988....

[karlm121]

I was shitting myself when I tried this.... On the X Box.

[bonzoAU]

thats what you call driving.may be some of those WANNA BE drivers should take a look 

[RythmandStrings]

You gotta love it......hammer down with the sun in his eyes!

[virtualwanya]

is this for real???? what a friken legend.. GREAT BIG BALLS OF STEEL !!!

[admirs6]

I shat my pants

[bendixone]

this has to be top 5 best driving skills iv'e ever watched, no guard rail and on a top of a fucking mountain powersliding inches from the corners, and the his speed is very high aswell

[flotl]

Peugeot hehe best cars !!!! 

[SEThatered]

Rally drivers always amaze me with their bravery, and rally fans with stupidity.

[swat2400]

has to be speed up

[sourcream93]

ummm spoiler?

[TheTikiwiki]

I live about 10 miles north of pikes peak and have been up there more times than I can remember. I get freaked out when my dad goes 10 mph! O.O Although I can say that some of the ledges that you see aren't really cliffs. However, I still say holy shit

[Absoluutti]

Finnish rally drivers ftw!

[Vurbmoto]

WOW

[gaston1g1]

que animal! loco

[GoldenShaolinNutz]

oh!!!the suns in my eyes....i better go faster...lol much props to these drivers thats ridiculously fast. them are bi nutz and big drops if u messup. bravo!

[darkeyce02]

lol driveing with one hand... fast stuff

[MrBeto2020]

[lemonlover]

Formula 1 has nothing on these guys.

[a5hatch]

This was amazing....I would love to just ride along lol

[manzrnet]

....just felt a chill down my spine, that was amazing

[fidgetingfinch]

There is a fine line between being ballsy and fucking insane. This guy crossed it.

[vortexau]

Ari Vatanen FTW!

[RoCk3t99]

Some of the best drivers PERIOD! lol

[futboljulia]

esto es saber pero saber de verdad

[DarthLektrocuted]

Finland drivers are the best rally drivers on the globe., driving is in their blood !!!

[DarthLektrocuted]

Finland drivers are the best rally drivers on the globe., driving is in their blood !!!

[DarthLektrocuted]

what a run

[psychotikpaisano]

1:17

SUZUKI OWNED

[lio220]

1:12! ahahah OWNED! ^^

[ropoly]

this is Ari Vatanen in a Peugeot T16

[Standup4314]

What the H3ll this is? This isn't racing. Real racing involves. Accelerate, turn Left. Accelerate turn Left. For the next Five Hours. This involves way 2 much concentration and skill. Go Nascar HaHaHa...

[RichoMk1]

@Standup4314 Dood, not cool. Haha. Watch Best drive in a touring car race ever????. I don't 100% agree with the titleand it's a few years old now but it's fukn good Aussie racing.

[LCLint]

¿Nascar? Madre mía, si te gusta eso no tienes ni idea de lo que es el pilotaje de verdad. Díselo a Juan Pablo Montoya, que no conseguía nada en F1, y tuvo que marcharse a la los Estados Unidos para mejorar palmarés.

En fin, con tu pan te lo comas.

[Standup4314]

Much Respect to all Rally Car Drivers. This video explains why. You have high speed driving incredibly challenging turns to navigate and damn near zero room 4 error. it's safe 2 say that a Rally Driver can be cross trained 4 any other motorsport and with success more easily than vice versa.

[sti4lifer]

thats a devil little Peugeot!

[testiclesackticle]

he must know that track like the back of his hand

[lalelibahcem]

what is this ? jok ? fast and danger. süper

[wgraveland]

Been there, done that.............

But not as fast: I drove a rental car..

[Klimpen717]

If anything...... this is epic!

[deathrehab]

such perfection in driving, no fear whatsoever. he's a true man,

[ungatoniko]

This driver is a beast... He uses his freakin' shifting arm to shield the sun while driving extremely fast... that is fearlessness right there

[DINNOMAFIA]

ari vatanen = greatest rally driver ever, stig blomquist a close second

[typ044]

just plain awesome !

[acidangelster]

Every time i watch this,my undying respect for the driver only increases!

[ExL1207]

1:14 owned

[betaman30]

My dream is to be codriver....
