What happens when you let engineers have completely free reign? No regulations, no power limits and whatever mad aero design they can come up with.
Well, you get crazy-powerful, high-downforce - monsters.
This is exactly what they do in the Unlimited Division at Pikes Peak, where we get to see how they stack up against each other, as well as how it can go wrong.
Home-designed and made machines can compete against big-money international car companies to race to the top of the 14,000-foot mountain. A course with no run-off, no barriers, standard road tarmac and 2000-foot drops.

Pikes Peak is a battleground between corporation-backed teams with deep pockets and home-grown heroes building cars in sheds. And it’s so entertaining to watch.
This Hillclimb is famous for being the battleground between trucks, open-wheelers and purpose-built race cars - all competing against each other to reach the peak the fastest.
The paddock is filled with machines that have incredible aerodynamics, the largest turbochargers you’ve ever seen, and, some of the bravest drivers.
We’re going to show you Pikes Peak’s top ten craziest cars.

But I remember people around town talking about his Pike's Peak project. Though Saab contributed next to nothing to the project. The engine was built by Trollspeed, that built a whole bunch of engines for the Swedish rallycross elite at the time. Though they went bankrupt a few years ago. The transmission was all Subaru, since that's what he had been driving before he went back to Saab in the late 90's. The car is now located at the Arvika Car Museum, along some of his rally cars.

It was his only season in Finland and he won the championship that season. As a Saab driver myself I'm glad to see Saabs in motorsports since there has been so little attendance after the 80's, I think, when Saab discontinued their official programs.

@@ElMosqito you cant find it because there is no such thing as „wastegate sound“. Wastegates dont make a sound other than the engine sound itself because you know; exhaust gas also flows through them. Stutu sound is called turbo flutter or the compressor surge. When you get off the gas and throttle valve closes, the high pressure air cant go into the intake manifold so it reverses back into the compressor side of the turbo and makes that sound

If you get it to a reasonable weight it's just nuts how fast these are.

Not in German though, speak it like "Fouw Waih" And in English to me it feels like saying "Vowlkswaegen" is still more effort than saying "Wedouble-u" despite having 1 less syllable.

@@Lukas.99 It's pronounced "vokes-vag-en" in German and English... and I just explained it's literally quicker to say the full name because of the syllables - it demonstrably isn't easier to say VW

I speak German and never heard a native English speaker say "Vollksswaaagenn". But I agree that your writing is better and closer to the English pronounciation, although to also include the English way of speaking the vowels I would suggest "Vowkes-vaigen".

Pikes Peak has a bit of the feel of the Isle of Man TT -- one mistake or component failure and it could well be lights out. From this point on it will be hard for ICE cars to compete with electric given the short duration, emphasis on acceleration, and the thin air.

I remember the 2003 Pikes Peak in late June sitting on the barely there snow caps on the dirty end of the course. The Escudo was there and it was like the President strolled up on a horse. Everyone was taking pictures of it. Got to meet Mark Lovell and Shane Mitchell! (Mark and his co-driver Roger Freeman crashed bad at their very next race: Oregon Trail Rally) RIP.

Sad thing is, I've been to the Pikes Peak hill-climb twice, and gone are the glory days of watching from anywhere you'd like as long as it's not on the road. You have to stand/sit 20 yards back from the road, and you're likely to see about 3 minutes of cars driving by (in total) over the whole day. We snuck into the pits the first year we went, and my brother spoke to some folks about possible internships. The next year, nobody was allowed in the pits. We decided it wasn't worth the drive out there, and haven't been back in five years.

I personally liked Pikes Peak better when it wasn't paved. I understand why they paved it but they took away some of the mystic when they did. It's still an amazing place to race though.
