vids - Race cars on mountain roads....

[mindgam3]

Not really sure what, why, who, where and when but there's a fair few vids of various race cars on mountain roads here - i think its hill climbing championships but i can't quite work it out. Anyway i've watched a few and its very impressive to see these cars on the open road, they're quite short but the sound is great.

Thanks for the great links, hillclimb video's are very cool!
Just listen to the sound of this Mercedes Benz 190 Evo II, it has an induction roar that makes an M3 CSL sound tame... well almost!

nice to see the 190 Evo... definately sounds great, but you really can't compare that car to the M3 CSL... the CSL is made for the streets

[sads]

:D that looks like a blast

nice to see the 190 Evo... definately sounds great, but you really can't compare that car to the M3 CSL... the CSL is made for the streetsI am aware of that :wink: but knowing that the M3 CSL has one of the loudest induction sounds of road cars, I thought it was fun to make that comparison.

Mostly of them are from European Cup where usually races Ander Vilariño (ex World Series driver) a driver from basque country, his father Andres is the best ever hillclimb driver with 4 european titles and near 40 individual victories. I saw racing Ander this August (Bien Aparecida) it timed 1:39 (new record) at a 3.800 mts of twisty road mountain track... it suposses near 140 Km/h of average speed...
