I would like see some models of these crazy cars. This is a Suzuki XL7 the current record holder.

Check this video of the Ford Fiesta driven by Marcus Gronholm. And please NASCAR fans tell your broadcasters to stop calling NASCAR drivers the best in the world.

Hello there. Please correct your title. It is Pikes Peak. I live in Black Forest which is a several miles away from those mountains and I would appreciate proper spelling.

I agree, those cars are awesome and very wild! I wouldn't mind a couple of die-cast models of theme. I've been to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb once and it was awesome. It was the closest thing we've got to rally racing and it's fun watching these cars race up the hills and drift around the turns. It's even more exciting watching the side-car's race up with the monkeys flipping back and forth trying to maintain the bikes proper balance! The slowest ones up the hill are the big rig trucks!

This could be yet another interesting build-off! But not for a while......................

Cool video.

The transition from asphalt to dirt must be strange, one minute you have all kinds of traction then your sliding around the turns, and the drop-off the sides of the mountain looks pretty scary, no safer wall barrier here. One wrong move or if you hit a rock it could send you over the side.

It must be wild driving a big rig on that course. :lol:

Would be crazier if they added the trailer! LOL!

It's a little scary just driving up the hill. But once your up there, there is a nice little cafe with a gift shop and what a view!

It's scarier going back down hill cause your brakes can over heat and you might be a run away!

I loved it ever since I first saw it this year, that Fiesta is mmmmmm, and Marcus behind the wheel, you know it's going to be a good run.

ahhh home sweet home, my kind of cars. I love these the most. I hate all you guys who live in Colorado. :P I want models of these.

The guys running the Semi's and truly insane! :P

Pikes Peak is the best, and yes I agree with Dale, all you NASCAR fans..........

don't make me bring up the Ari Vatenen Climb Dance video :P
