Onboard Camera of the WOLF AUROBAY GB08 2.0 HP at Pikes Peak 

Incredibly fast for a car with only 2.0 HP

I must admit I was disappointed to see a 14.000 rpm tacho on a 6.000rpm engine.

Great clear angle of the track, and very clean lines, this is a great video for learning Pike's Peak, thanks!

Never knew at the top it was *THIS* bumpy omg.

I love reading through these armchair comments like they know anything about the car, driver, or conditions of the event. "He's short shifting 😫" "This is sped up!!1!" "I can do better on my sim rig!" Like seriously shut the hell up you have no idea what you are talking about lol.

9:09 the road was bumpy, he full throtle and reached 170+kmh , bro has balls

So cool to hear the personality of the engine change as it climbs higher. Great ride. Sweet car control.

10:53 the way his rear end slides out omg

I'm just so happy to see Wolf Racing still at it, my all time favourite racing team. I still own 3 umbrellas from the F1 years, I make my girls use them, if they behave, sort of a prize ;)

Grande christian il re della montagna

Thanks for this video. Christian made an excellent drive to the clouds.

The transition to above the timber line at 5:10 is interesting, whole new environment

Did christians steering column come loose? that's crazy skill

I don't know about y'all, but my heart is in my throat. Insane once you get about halfway up that mountain. Then the guardrails disappear and so do the mountainsides.

Don't try this at home kids.

Grande Christian, veramente bravo. 👏👏👏👏

Cristian Merli complimenti 😊

For those unaware of it, this Rookie of the year is Christian Merli, a five time FIA European Hillclimb Championship winner. His first foray at Pikes Peak has been impressive although somehow expected, given his skills. I bet that if he returns and the weather allows it, he will make the run in less than nine minutes.

Torque wins races hp sells motors It’s a 2.0 litre from Aurobay Usually used to power hybrid cars Very torquey I think direct injected Sadev gearbox Don’t know hp but I’d say 500 hp and probably 650 Nm

man broke his steering wheel in the last part, at minute 10:07 is checking it an also you see how mutch the steering wheel is moving up and down also after minute 8:00. Crazy🤯

Great drive as usual from merli but imagine him with his osella on pikes peak 🎉

Was the first time to watch this track by drivers perspective, not easy to drive, lower part is smooth, but the upper part is very bumpy, he even had a lot of wheel spin. Setup work under this conditions very difficult, too soft for the lower part but nearly too hard for the upper part. Track-mix reminds me a little bit on Nürburgring, but more sunny there😂. And of course, like always, in some corners you think "damned, I totally fucked up here" (f. e. around 2:00, corner apex not hit and wrong gear) but a good ride! Excellent!!

Good job @youtube suggested video. Probably because of Hill Climb Monsters and RobDahm as well.

Surface gets worse at near top of course ,heroic drive in any event !

I’m sure he was annoyed when he got to the top and saw his timer wasn’t working 😂

Amazing!! 🤩 super Christian Merli!

Parti à 14h a l'age de 25 ans il est arrivé au sommet à 13h50 à 24 ans 😮 Une véritable fusé 😊

Description is misleading

When i clicked the video i thought it was a formula 1 car 😂

Someone needs to re-pave the last 1/3 of the road

Errado..........2.0(2 Litros) ,2000 cc

Chuck Norris did this faster on a horse.

Ein sehr guter Beitrag. Vielen Dank. Germany

That loose steering column would have made me think twice about the car's preparation.

I was stationed at Ft Carson in the late 80s. Back then Pike's Peak had zero paved roads and no guardrails.

OMG, true *INSANITY!* 🤯

Amazing. Everything. Car. Driver. Ride. Video. 👍🏻

Christian Merli very top driver ✌💪👍

What is this car

Wow what a smooth and fast ride!

Dumas was quicker in a truck while standing still for a while with engine/battery problems. I'm not saying i could do what this guy did, but still, not super quick as some guys in the comments have implied.

I've never seen this Motorsport, why is it recommended to me? some kind if formula 3? formuls E?

Looks like quite a bit of time is still in the car.

Do I hear a disposable gearbox?

wish they would bring back the motos

Mighty impressive for 2.0 HP.

Short shifting like crazy out of every turn in the second half of the video

Se non erro è Cristian Merli, pluridecorato campione europeo e italiano delle cronoscalate...di che stiamo parlando??? Con una Osella Fa 30 di 3 litri Zytech magari poteva vincere...

Like after 80% of the lap did the steering wheel loosen because there seemed to be alot of horizontal movement 😮

Préfère ari Vatanen de 1988 !

🚔Cop at the top, "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?"🎫💸

Why would anyone race this.. one tyre blow from death.. mad..

comment cela est possible l'alpine est en 3em place fait 9.17mn la vidéo écrit au drapeau à damier christ-M 9.55mn donc :) pikes all unlimited (nothing cars rolling on the road :)

and to think this race car came in 2nd overall to a Ford F-150 EV

6000rpmしか回せないエンジンなのか？ 余り早く見えない

Is this diesel? Such pull at low rpm’s

Some views on that drive

The last part looks very confy in this car😂😂. Let me guess, did they adjust the shock absorbers on an Italian road?😂😂

It is a formula E gen 2 with formula 3 sound

the movement while extremely fast doesn't necessarily look sped up, but it sure as heck sounds sped up. the audio just doesn't seem right.

I have to admit, I'm wondering how they'd tune their engines for the change in altitude. Highest I've climbed (walked really) is Mt Fuji in Japan. That's 3776m I think, not quite as high as this, and the air is thinner up that high.

It must be so unnerving at the top of the run when you know drifting out towards the edge will give you a better line into the turn but you also know there’s a huge cliff waiting for you if you’re just a little TOO far out!!!😅

you need serious stones just to get to the top in a normal passenger car. The sheer drops in the switchbacks on this make me ill just remembering my own trip up... just... wow

Looks like I’m watching this video on 2x speed…but I’m not, he’s just going that fast

Bom dia !!!!!!! Cara, que subida fantástica. Obrigado por nos levar de carona pra curtir essa Máquina e essa adrenalina. Muito bom mesmo. Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.

Is this car a diesel or something? Why is he only revving the engine to 6000rpm and no higher? Never seen a petrol engine rev so incredibly low, especially on Pikes Peak, where you need every single hp you can get. Anyone know what kind of engine this far is using?

Is it my imagination or is that road at the top extremely rough??? Wow the cajoles you have to pull that off!!!

Me parece terrible y de suicidio correr al lado del precipicio

Looked really safe for most of the time. Maybe lack of experience, but clearly there is lots of time to cut off next time.

720p ??? really? cool vid, but dang its 2024 ya all

Comunque secondo me con quella macchina avrebbe anche potuto vincere, mi sembra bestiale... però giustamente se stai scalando le montagne e hai un precipizio a 10 cm di distanza non è facile portare la macchina al limite, io mi sarei cagato sotto e avrei fatto i tornanti ai 60km/h... quindi è stato bravissimo, complimenti, è come una vittoria! Se questo è l'inizio il primo posto non tarderà ad arrivare 💪

We're racing pikes peak, do we need brakes? No, just gearing.😵‍💫

its wild how little of a brake slows the car down so much

does it not make power after 6 or why the short shifting? He shifts as soon as the first block of lights light up on the wheel.

123 MPH with no guardrail, more balls than a bowling alley.

Very cool. But the King of Pikes peak is Ari Vatanen. For ever !

Boering.... Ya no es lo que era. Tan ... Controlado y tan perfecto... Los que vimos a Ari Vatannen con el Peugeot... Uff 😢

Nr 1 Cristian 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Bart Simpson sticker at the end there is a cherry on top, nice run

2,0L fueled by GOD nice run

Ngl, it sounds deceivingly boring for how fast it´s going XD

What a run!!!🎉

Need more safety on lap 🚧

If i add a transmission to my 5.0hp lawnmower can it go this fast?

The steering column moves a lot in all directions at the end😲😲😲 La colonne de direction bouge enormément dans tous les sens à la fin😲😲😲 Alla fine il piantone dello sterzo si muove molto in tutte le direzioni😲😲😲

Are you sure you mean 2.HP (horse power) my moped has more than that?

He could be quicker, but that balls of steel slow him down.

Seeing a lot of movement in your steering column towards the end of the run?

Insane performance and handling, not to mention the minimal distance it’s brakes require in order to come to an almost complete stop @ 2:38. Edit : I can’t get over how close together his hands are on that steering wheel.

It's like watching a real hill climb car, but in slow motion.

sounds like considerable lag when he goes WOT until you hear the turbo boosting. It´s keeping the revs so low, ~4krpm out of the corners. I wonder how much time is lost between xhp requested and xhp received.

can I drive it next please ? :)

Over a minute slower than the electric car a couple years back 😮

This car feels like the Japanese Super Formula car its awesome

Whats up with the steering column? Is it normal to be that loose?

Looks like an LMP3 had a baby with a formula 2 car

this is Wolf GB08 Extreme 650 HP ?

6-speed sequential straight-cut gearbox FTW :)

🚦🚦

Wicked driving ! The inverted G-Force indicator was not enjoyable.
