Precision at Pike's Peak 

one hand protecting his eyes from the sun, the other on the wheel inches from death.... this guy has more balls than everyone on this fucking site put together. he probably got more adrenaline in that one moment than i'm gonna see in 5 years. god damn i wish i was that awesome.

Ari Vatanens drive, Climb Dance is no doubt, the greatest ever drive at Pikes Peak ... No barriers, no tarmac, plenty of sun and 22 years old ... Awesome! (someone said he hit the bank, all the good drives clip the sides.

Every time i watch this,my undying respect for the driver only increases!

I love this video.. I have been lookin for it again for a long time.. What a run!

Absoulutely amazing, the paved road these days takes away I think from the challenges these guys should be facing

....just felt a chill down my spine, that was amazing

FINALLY, a car video where you get to HEAR THE CAR!! THUMBS UP!!!!

thanks for that info ... it was vital for all half a million viewers of this video to know !!

The power of this Peugeot is surreal!

The best video ive ever seen on you tube. Respect. The back drop bit is amazing. Also watch 'crazy rally drift' It's all Gigi Galli, watch the last clip its gooooooooooooooood.

That was mesmerizing. Just wow.

Ari Vatanen best rally driver ever first attempt from this man was in 1987 with a Peugeot 205 T16 4x4

This video made me weep, its that good.

simply AWESOME...........need i say more?

damn.....now that is how you control chaos right there....kudos to the driver!

If anything...... this is epic!

Purely incredible.

is this for real???? what a friken legend.. GREAT BIG BALLS OF STEEL !!!

Some of the best drivers PERIOD! lol

1:53!! You know you're a stud, when you do it one handed!

This was amazing....I would love to just ride along lol

I drove up this mountain yesterday, 10 miles an hour scare to death

Even Ari Vatanen himself will shit in his pants when seeing his video in this footage. It's beyond just rally driving, far beyond.

he is one hell of a driver.

@monsterbikeroot I sometimes have to do that on a motorcycle when approaching a corner against sunshine, not a nice thing to not be able to see anything.

I remember this footage being used as an intro of a video game. I forgot which one.

true that 85 on loose gravel in a 200 eclipse racing a sonata. lol that shit is the best rush ever! id love to get into a pro rally circuit.

@kgb346 Correction... the people standing that close to the track watching have HUGE balls... the drivers have MASSIVE BALLS OF STEEL

Sin duda nadie podra igualar este video, hagan lo que hagan lo llevo al limite y quedara en la retina de todos lo que nos apaciona el automovilismo.

complimenti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@astrong94 14,000 feet is the 'peak' of Pikes Peak. At the time he was one-handed he was somewhere less than that. :)

R.I.P.? Is this guy no longer with us?

Ari Vatanen FTW!

1:26 is pure bravery.

best vid ever?

i cant believe that only two of this Peugeout were build and other one was racing at paris dakar :)). i was trying to find how many horses this have but everywehere i looked i got same results. it says like 220horses and like 310 feet of torque. but by watching this video this car has to have at least 500 horses, because audi quatro S1 had 500 horses.

oh!!!the suns in my eyes....i better go faster...lol much props to these drivers thats ridiculously fast. them are bi nutz and big drops if u messup. bravo!

I've got white knuckles from just watching the video, and I'm going to need a minute to pull the seat cushion out of my bum!

@PeterHBne1 That is so true, I sure have a newfound admiration to this guys and girls...........They MUST be at least a little crazy ?

well said dude i agree on that turn give me a parachute or something

video's been sped up. Looks cool tho

search for "Climb Dance" to see the whole promo video

the only dislikes are of those people who cant drive.

it's not so precise driving, and there is better version of this video original 05:15 video is a winner of: -1990 grand Prix du film Festival de Chamonix -1990 Gold Award International Film Festival, Houston -1990 Silver Screen US Industrial Film & Video Festival, Chicago -1990 Prix Special du Jury, Geme Gestival International du film D'Aventure Val D'isere this is just cropped version. original version is awesome, and it's a shame to crop it like this. it's just 2 minutes longer.

so glad to live under this mountain. wish they never paved it though :(

@duffshot81 Those engines rev way beyond 10,000 RPMs

ari vatanen = greatest rally driver ever, stig blomquist a close second

"Side of what cliff?" ROFL floored it and the bastards doing a 180!

1:52 - LIKE A BOSS !

Awesome vid! its a great shame they're gonna pave the whole thing, it'll take a way a huge part of it!

at 1:17 what car is that on the right ?

man, that sun at 1:50, fucking dangerous

@wittybittyspider Tell me 1 that dont miss a corner or 2. Also keep in mind the difference between the high-tech stuff that's in the cars today, that simply didnt exist back then. Not here to say he is the best or not, but saying that he misses a corner or 2 in a rally stage (where the track conditions can change because of the car that passed by before) is just a fail argument :p

12,000 feet, 6000 RPM, no guard rail......one handed. Cannon balls between his legs.

thats a devil little Peugeot!

WOW

This is before they added guard rails

@duffshot81 Mr Ari Vatanen, as expert in matter...

the real video is called Climb Dance...

looks like its in fast foward just a bit

what is this ? jok ? fast and danger. süper

@juliusURVAN he is a damn good driver, but in longer version you can see that he misses corner or two and hits rocks. i'm sorry, i just say that this is not the best driving that was seen up there.

Standard issue sunvisor while travelling up Pikes Peak at 200kph = your hand

1:12! ahahah OWNED! ^^

that is fucking INSANE

BALLS OF STEEL!! 1:23 - 1:31

the original gymkhana!

@Asop43 he'll be alright...

H-E-N-R-I T-O-I-V-O-N-E-N

ridiculously hardcore

@wittybittyspider This was the best driving, accept that, lol this was record setting, mind blistering and without any real electronic aids like cars have today

Look at the Sun, Speeds Up.

Yess!

turn left to go right

@Menolifee yeah , I looked him up, he,s a politician now from what I read.

well it wasn't flawless but yet amazing driving...i liked the part where he puts his hand up against the sun.

@BarryKunz64 Yes he is.

1:17 SUZUKI OWNED

@cupidblues No, it's phenomenal but there is nothing better than the Nurburgring.... Nothing.

1:13 R.I.P

lol at the bug at 1:14

I was shitting myself when I tried this.... On the X Box.

i shit my pants a couple (of hundrend) times there..!! hahahaha!

esto es saber pero saber de verdad

I bet he was laughing when he was covering the other car in dirt!

1:57 way too close to the edge for me!!

thumbs up if you remember this from vrally 2

Sure! In my deepest and nasty dreams ^__^

WOW!

Ari Vatanen.... Nothing to say... My dream is to be codriver....

rally is a krazy sport.
