runnah's semi-official, non-sanctioned motorsports discussion thread

One of the benevolent overlords of this forum races Pikes Peak in a car he built every year. I'll have to dig up some video for ya. That road is terrifying.

It was until they paved it.

Still my all time favorite motorsports video. The great Ari Vatanen in maximum attack mode.

With the pavement on Pikes Peak speeds are higher so a F-up hurts worse, and damages the car more.

He's not the one who went off!

But dirt is so much more exciting and takes much more skill IMO.

FIA has already responded and admitted that they f'ed up releasing the fire marshall so early.

I met a guy who has one of these (wouldn't say I KNOW him-met him a few times). He owns a shop around here. I should go ask him if he'll let me thrash his 288 GTO a bit, then when he says no, remind him that his McLaren/Mercedes SLR is only worth 1/3 as much.

Not "racing" but this is by far the best Ferrari video ever!
