Pike's Peak - Vatanen's Climb Dance

[mgmark]

Folks,

          Found this the other day - outstanding footage of Ari Vatenen blasting up Pikes Peak in the Peugeot T16 of the time (the glory years post-Group B rallying, when nobody knew what to do with the cars).   Shots from cameras strapped to the car, inside the car and from helicopter above.   Ari gets the back end inches from the edge of what are very, very, very long drops.....and drives one handed to shade his eyes from the sun....

Broadband helps as the file is 66mb big, but by goodness is it worth it - the grin factor is simply outstanding

Or try this one of Walter Rorhl doing the same thing in an Audi Quattro S1 - first half is Walter talking about the Peak and the car - the second half is equally awesome in car and external footage......

21mb big
