Talk about knowing your car and pushing your limits.Hats off to the driver,this is real racing.

@4:01 He actually celebrating that hes still alive and cars still in one piece after that fucking crazy run

I raced Golf MK1's for many years and have done many 1000's of laps on the Kyalami circuit. I have never seen such brilliant car control, such absolute commitment to a corner, superb choice of line in and exit out of a bend on a road like this. This guy reminds me of Senna at Monaco and Peter Brock at the Bathurst 1000. It is easy to learn a lap of a track a few km's log buy doing hundreds of laps, you can almost do it automatically after many laps, but to tackle this road, with all its twists and turns, and do such an incredible race is absolutely remarkable. I would think in the right car he could do a sub 7 minute in a street-legal vehicle on the Nordschleife ! Hats off...

I’d bet real money that this guy’s got more tenacity and raw skill than at least 16 of the current F1 drivers. Outstanding!

3:16 for those wondering about the thumbnail. Amazing skills. This dude is a madman.

i love how happy he is when finish the race

I have watched this video so many times. Its so satisfying to see the perfect balance of this car when its flying around corners and the rear end is just coming around so nice

HELL, I thought I could drive, but this guy makes the car dance. When you have the chassis set up properly, you have confidence, but this guy is next level. WHAT, A DRIVER!!

His big balls gives his car lower center of gravity. No wonder his so fast in corners.

Outstanding! I love seeing driver who can consistently drive at edge of control. This is my favorite video thus far from you. Well done!

This guy is not crazy at all. He just knows ho to race his car. A real pleasure to see. Fantastic Golf

ça c'est ce que j'appelle un PILOTE !!!! Mon gars t'es un malade !! Sacré prépa la titine pour tenir le bitume à ce point là ! c'est totalement déroutant de voir à quelle vitesse les courbes défilent ! Franchement un grand BRAVO l'artiste ! Du vrai pilotage !

Balls of pure steel

Proper setup, and a great driver!!

Der Klang von dem Motor ist einfach nur göttlich! Richtig geil! 👌🏼

looked that no traction control no abs no electronic components. one driver and real car.....

Driver has big, big, attachments. Car was setup perfectly. Great video.

For such a short wheelbase car to be able to four wheel drift that consistently... must be a very dialed in setup. Thoroughly enjoyable video

I love this video and keep on coming back to watch it over and over again.

I've been watching a lot of hillclimb videos and this dude's foot is glued to the gas pedal holy shit.

Daniel Wittwer is off the hook man! Awesome driving!

That explosion of emotions at the end says it all!!!!!!! what a drive from this amazing driver , what an amazing machine, like a go kart with fat tyres!!! no words for this combination!

Blimey. Just fantastic. The reaction at the end says it all. I do hillclimbing & sprints in an old crate and I get an adrenalin rush doing 10% what he does so just awesome credit to his ability. Don't knock the car , roll cage etc. Just dwell on his skill and commitment because there's tons there . Its guys like this that make the difference. Sure one day something might happen but in the meantime its just awesome. And he's shared it with us to enjoy, not criticise. I now admire anyone that gets to the start line. Its an incredible effort but when you see this level of skill laid over it, its humbling.

Just your average Sunday cruise In a Vw! Badass!! VW for life!!

Dude, him rejoicing at the end...i felt it! Pure adrenaline! That was impressive!!

Woooohooo! 4 wheel drift!!! That's one of the bets FWD drivers I've seen in a long time!! Epic performance!!!!!

Of the videos in this class, this particular VW is insanely fast and sounds the most amazing!! My favorite; I watch it all the time

Never seen such a fast golf and driver that scared me just watching,going up that course without a co,pilot amazing skill

like Andretti said :D if everything feels under control, you re just not going fast enough :D !

This video left me scratching my head....how on earth does that car stick to road so well? So much confidence in the set up! Wow!

Wahnsinns Wagen, absolut krass was Mensch und Maschine da leisten Hut ab 👍 ... und mega Soundspektakel 🚗💨

Everyone is talking about amgs and lamborghinis but all you need is a tuned golf and balls of steel. Nice drive dude holy moly

Superb driving skills from this guy. This is driving on the limit. Deep respect for him👍

This >> watching F1

The trained focus of someone who really becomes truly the definitionof the word!!!

Großartig! Um so fahren zu können bedarf es das richtige KFZ, die gute Erfahrung und Eier aus Stahl!

Still, to this day one of the greatest FWD Engine/chassis combos ever. Amazing driving as well. just amazing.

LOVE it!! Badass car & driver. Absolutely driven on the limit, that car got squirrelly a few times :) So much respect for seeing this kind of driving on hill climb; no room for error like on track. If you go off here (almost anywhere) you're done! Great motor build, awesome to see it's still N/A! I love turbo'd MK1's and 2's, but the powerband on this must be awesome. Sounds like it's always ON! Great work

I keep having to watch this video to show people how good an n/a 4 cylinder sounds it's fucking amazing

...when 2 friends and I were playing PlayStation for days to win the last race in Gran Tourismo. Make no mistake, a pinch of luck and stay on the pedal. It was an awesome time and the clip just brought back the memories. Thanks.

This guys an amazing driver, at the limit and beyond, awesome video thank you, I used to autocross a rabbit GTI in SCCA years ago, so this is great to see.

That was kickass! Skillful and ballsy driving. And what a sound!

That guys doing what we wish we had the balls to do👌🏻mk1 golf looks so Good

The teeny little lift off drifts are absolutely beautiful, it looks so fun to attack a road with this car.

People only drive like that on play station, when you can reset! This guy's a legend.

Awesome driving! that's how I drove my 1.6 liter Rabbit....... or how I imagined I was driving 😁

Driver, car, video, everything here is top notch !

Amazing drive !!! I drove racing BW GOLFS for many years also in hill climb races in the US , love it , brought back memories , thanks

Car, driver, camerawork and editing, all quality. Nice one!

wow, that slalom at the beginning was awesome. i think he was flatout the whole time. also, that close call at 2:08

Raw car + raw talent = real racer. So much for assist technologies. This is the real thing!

This guy and car are incredible together.

This man understands momentum like no other human...

il envoi du lourd quel pilote et le moteur une merveille félicitations !!!!!!!!

True talent from a guy who's willing to commit to 98% of the available grip, all the time! Great vid - thanks :)

Ubija ga nema sta svaka cast pozdrav iz Sarajeva

That thing looks and sounds manic, I love it! :)

Not over the limit (except that near totaling flip haha) driving, that's how it's done! I love this guy! He shows that you don't need half a million euro supercar to go fast AND have fun! Go FWD!!

I'm over here at work trying SO hard not to grin at this. QUALITY!!! His driving is absolutely fantastic! 2:08 - 2:20 Oh my God!

That guy, I have never seen nothing like it, that car is set up magnificent, screams in agony, that guy knows his car and the track. He has balls of a lion, watch this video over and over, I will never get tired of it never, to you my friend I hang my hat ,Blessings

Congratulations Daniel, excellent driving, very well set up car both engine and suspension. way to go!

Daniel drives like his life depends on it... Legend.

Maitrise totale de LA GOLF GTI, harmonie parfaite entre l'homme et la machine ! Super pilote, merci encore pour le spectacle...

Driving like a mad man, but always in control. Great video!

I love this one. Miss mine a lot

Most people think 21" wheels are sporty.

That was a great run. He really held on the edge there. That mk1 really flies. Wonderful.

Minimal understeer...perfect setup for a golf... 03.17 the grip was obviously fantastic^^ good save RIP to your brother Martin...

Kudos! What a great show of skills!

1:02 - "You can't drive on the sidewalk!" "Ahh, but i drove _over_ it."

Car had nothing left to offer grip wise .👌🏼☝🏼Man is a serious pilot

love Wittwers reaction at the end, this is living.

100% Drive it like Stolen Style 😜

My brain doesn't work that fast, is there a way to install more ram?

mk1 best car vw ever made. had 3 of them miss them so much.

WOW. Little car that could. Well deserved. Congratulations.

How high does this golf rev? Daaam.....its such as sweet sound .. With earphones on 😍😎

What a fucking beast this guy is and the car sounds insane at high rpm!:o

Its 2020 and there still ain't no man can match this sheer loonacy.

This is passion, nothing can beat it. That's racing!

4:02 When you realize you have passed your final exam.

pure skill. What an amazing video of this MK1. Could you give us some more details on the specs? Weight, bhp, etc

The most forgiving rabbit I have ever seen... Whoever built the suspension is the true hero here 😎.

Depuis la parution je ne me lasse pas de le regarder !

Fucking getting it! Also couldn't help but notice the cage.. I know it's meant to be light.. But that seemed a bit weak for the level of wrecks that he could be involved in.

damn that little rabbit can fly hahaha

Gebt dem Kerl ein Cockpit im Formelsport! Beeindruckende Fahrzeugbeherrschung und Popometer !!! Ganz großes Kino :-)

Daaamn this is the definition of crazy man huge balls and huge driving skill

he's much better than ken block

At 2:04, I see sonic boom!

The lift in fifth on the straight to dig back into the cam is magic

i come here every few month to enjoy this 4 wheel close to the rails drifts with no shocklifting the throttle perfect

Great driving. That roll cage is a joke, will fold up like a house of cards in a crash..

Holy Shit. Was für ein Höllenritt :)

Omg this man has the nuts of the bull. That fast on public roads and a bolt on cage, plus a little two wheel action. The dude can drive!

Incredible car and driver commitment, such a joy to watch.

Me gustan los locos yeeepaaaa???100% al límite.

I missed your videos !

eier aus Stahl der typ !! Golf 1, eh n klassiker, und was der da abliefert ist n killah !! Respekt Dude
