I know it's not quite the real thing, but if you have a playstation or playstation 2 and Gran Turismo 2, one of the rally courses is a portion of the Pikes Peak course, it's insanely fun to drive. I can't wait for Yamauchi to draw out all of the Nurburgring Nordschleife for GT4 or some other future version., that'll be totally sweet.

Default some other pikes peak videos

I have been at pikes peak in 2003 where per eklund ran a turbo charged saab in the unlimited class - was really a quick car, but nothing against the driving performance of one of the vasholtz??? guys. fastest run ever was done by rod millen in the toyota tacoma (1100hp) - there are also some videos around

- the saab videos show the saab 93 viggen - running in mantorp park in sweden - not on the pikes peak hillclimb.
car has 800 hp, and over 700 Nm of torque - quite impresive boost

inboard porsche video - pikes peak
http://www.lad.lv/~martini/porsche/V...PikesPeak2.asf (24 MB) - there you see why porsche rules - very very reliable
another one - up pikes peak
http://www.lad.lv/~martini/porsche/V...PikesPeak1.asf (4Mb)

rod millen videos (record holder) short ones
http://www.rodmillen.com/racing/down...e/qual98b2.mpg

http://www.rodmillen.com/racing/down...vie/slide1.mpg
http://www.rodmillen.com/racing/down...e/test98_1.mpg

=> the fastest car is the tacoma "truck"

another quick run came from walter röhrl on the audi s1 in 1987
http://www.kwapinski.net/audi/films/...esPeak1987.mpg

have fun watching them

For those that don't know, Pikes Peak is a mountain in Colorado. 157 turns up the steep ass hill. On some corners, the cliff is 1000 feet down.
Crazy awesome stuff!
The 350Z's at the beginning have Skyline GTR motors in them!

Anyone know of any other videos of Pikes Peak?
Thanks, hadn't seen this one before.

That 1st Saab 93 Viggen vid is really beautifully edited.
Joe Satriani's Mountain Song so nice in combination with this Pikes Peak conqueror from Saab

Pretty cool video. If I'm not mistaken, that turn is one the last turn on pikes peak. The guy that jumped out in the middle of the road to take a picture of the last car in the video was just plain stupid- He's putting himself, the driver, and all the other spectators in danger.
