Pikes Peak Run

Just the sheer cajones necessary to take a vehicle up to 150 mph on that road (highest I saw was 240 kph and it sounded like he may have gone faster when the speedometer wasn't shown) is mind boggling.



The scariest part is the car is a Peugeot.....

Agreed. I remember the era when Peugots were the opposite of this video

I know, right? If you fuck up on one of those curves, you'd be falling for quite a long time! Speaking of which, I wonder if someone could fly a wingsuit off up there! You'd think some of the 14ers around here would be good for that...
I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I would think that much of the area that contains the 14ers would not lend itself to that at all. Isn't most of the surrounding terrain a very high plateau as well.. not like say the alps where the big mountains stand out because the glaciers have gouged out all the valleys to a much lower elevation.

:P

Peugeot actually have a long history of high level motorsport. They were winning Grand Prix races and the Indy 500 before WW1, WRC titles in the Group B era and under modern regulations, they are a very successful supplier of touring car and hot hatch type racers and have had quite a bit of success over the last few decades in Le Mans style prototype sportscar racing.

It's just that none of that technology or quality control seems to make it anywhere near their production cars!
Do you want to have an ideagasm?
