2010 Pike's Peak Hillclimb Video

     Hit this link for 10 minutes of motoring bliss, watching Nobuhiro Tajima throw his 670kW Suzuki up Pike's Peak.  Amazing stuff, I wish I could do that.  Unfortunately I've neither got the opportunity or the skill!
     The fact that it's not a perfect run - there's at least a couple of traffic cones and a haybale that don't survive the run - shows how hard he's pushing the car.  He takes some pretty scary lines around some of those corners as well, with more than a little of his wheels hanging out in fresh air at times.
     Great camera angles, great driving and a great sounding engine.  I could watch this over and over.
