More car videos on http://gtchannel.com. Ride on the bumper of a screaming 910hp, Twin-Turbo, All-wheel Drive, 150 mph Suzuki SX4 as it races up one of the world's most dangerous hills. An attempt by the "Monster" to break his own record of 10:01:41...For the fifth consecutive time, Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima combined experience, skill and Falken Tires to claim overall victory in the 88th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Although he did not set a new Pikes Peak record, one day before his 60th birthday, Tajima continues to hold the current overall record forreaching the peak, beating hill climb veterans Paul Dallenbach and Rhys Millen in the Unlimited Class. He drove his new 910-hp MonsterSport Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special on Falken Wild Peak A/T tires, the powerful new line of all-terrain, all-season tires Falken launched this past April. Following exhaustive tests in a Japanese wind tunnel facility, Monster's 2010 Pikes Peak race car underwent extensive aerodynamic changes to better adapt to the modified road surface on the race to the clouds, which assumed a smoother tarmac and less gravel than last year. Thinning air ascending the mountain robs most motors of their power by 30 or more percent, but the increase in horsepower over last year's race car helped push the driver forward.

  • This is how I drive to school everyday

  • One minute before the action starts? WTF man?

  • @acehole1990 That's your opinion. One could argue that you're never safe crossing any road because you might get hit by a car.

    In fact driving around that 900HP car, with all its safety equipment and rollcage etc, is probably safer than driving your own car down the highway.

  • @BrosefDudley I know how safe modern day race cars are but the point is driving a 900 horse power car on a dirt road is never really going to be safe. Just like all racing, the cars are very safe, but racing will always be extremely dangerous.

  • @acehole1990 It's actually pretty safe for the driver of the car, considering all the safety gear they have to wear and have fitted to the car. As long as they dont drive off the edge they will be fine.

  • @BrosefDudley To be fair, what part of this doesn't look incredibly dangerous?

  • @BrosefDudley

    They clearly show the symptoms of abnormality associated with retarded people. and man, this disease is spreading.
