Pikes Peak International Hill Climb 2011- Record Breaking Run with Monster Tajima.

THE CAR
The race car for 2011 is the " Monster Sport SX4 Pikes Peak Special " which Monster Tajima drives. The 3100cc Twin Turbo Monster Special V6 powerplant, is boasting 910hp and 90.5kg-m of torque in an 1100kg body able to accelerate easily to speeds above 200km/h in a matter of seconds.

THE RACE
"........ The final run to the top was looking to be perfect however Tajima was yet to face his biggest difficulty. 1km from the end, the main drive belt on his engine came loose resulting in a loss of power steering and engine cooling.
Struggling to retain control of the SX4 through 2 hairpin curves, 2 high speed corners and 1 medium speed corner he blasted through the finish line in a cloud of steam with an overheated engine and sore arms - surprising many of the media who were at the top anticipating his arrival !
This year, the race was broadcast all over the world through the internet. In the USA, Europe and Japan, many fans were eagerly awaiting Monster's result..... the time was announced - "9:51.278!!!" Finally, the "10 minute barrier" was broken. It was the moment that 'Monster' Tajima and Team GoPro Monster Sport with BC's dreams came true....."

Road side footage is way better most of the time...it's nice to see some of the stuff you can see with go pro but otherwise it's kinda shit to watch this... I want to see the car flying through sections.Team go pro very happy with the sales figures obviously. Must have fat reserves to fight off other potential sponsors for Tajima...
