Per Eklund is the best! Did hear a funny interview with him at the Swedish Rally a few years ago, the reporter asked if he was getting to old to be competitive, and how he could still drive so fast in his 60`s? Per answer-you only need to accelerate and brake a little bit earlier- then it's like before!
WAS there seen it in person.... THAT THING was wicked, per you da man. IM a pikes Peak boy born and raised, been to this race 20 consecutive years, and only missed 4 in 28 yrs ;)
Sweden and Saab rules,,and that man was probably among the oldest driver to,,hope you have seen the movie about the building of that car ,,great story,tnx for shearing.
Legend, nice one! Please someone to tell me what is the fealing when u are going to race in the pikes peak rally. That's the edge between live and death.
Truly scary...very nicely done. And BTW, there are a lot of STUPID people in the world: Anyone who would put their tender pink little body in the path of 3000 lbs flying by on an 850hp ragged edge of traction displays a decidedly profound lack of imagination.
+Broder Perdurabo The Swedes, Germans, Japanese.. Even the French can get a 1000bhp out of a 2l. The yanks however struggle to get 200bhp out of a Big block.
Correct, and this helps show why GM lost market share every year for over 3 decades and went bankrupt. Sadly, even Sweden is following US with more militarisation, loss of Saab cars, loss of neutrality, partnering with NSA, finance becomes king, and actual creation of useful things moves to China. What left of Saab, NEV could be using Tesla motors patents for free, or partnering with Tesla motors, but no, they chase the Chinese and try to build fighter jets (very good planes) and now submarines - all for the US continuous war and pushing onto WWIII with Russia. Will move away from atomic power go forward?
@@brandoYT You sure saw where our once great country was heading... globalism and no common sense is whats left now, and f that and the guilty landtraitors.
I got scared sat here on my desk... I´m proud of having a Saab but the relation between this video and my car is almost unexistant...I guess is only the lettering on the dashboard!
