Solberg drove flat out it seems to me,so I'd choose him..

[@ackk6869]

"Армагеддон" не будучи самым мощным и при этом самым аэродинамически аккуратным проехал чисто и быстро. Как говорится "тёмная лошадка"

[@hillclimbracingfan5821]

Joubert brothers,Zeelie and Solberg are my favorites of the bunch.

[@rooms8853]

Lotus exige amg and the cobra. Big v8 muscle in lightweight cars.

[@dalton-at-work]

Solberg in a car with 600hp, no crazy wings and double the suspension travel of anyone else...he's still got it!

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Proper factory backed WRX Champion unit gotta remember too ;)

[@hersof9130]

It is proof that those who don't know how to drive want more power. 1400hp my ass

[@danielthuku8192]

most of the other cars were too hard sprung. Petter was able to gain time because it was the most settled of all of them in the bumps. p.s. that Polo WRX car killed WRX in the hands of Johann Kristofferson. He dominated like Max is dominating F1.

[@derrickmoore9180]

Solberg had a controlled slide up the entire course!

I was gonna ask in the comments, "is that THE Petter Solberg?!" and then I watched the first couple turns. Yup, that's him. lol

[@MrKozure]

Rally driver is a special breed, peter solberg and sebastian loeb had proved that.

[@delbertrobinson4139]

Petter was comparatively slow on the straights but man! He flung it into those corners!!! Otherworldly skills right there!!

[@dalton-at-work]

his precise line and full knowledge and ability to take the grip to it's limit was most impressive

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Rallycross gearbox ratio, with a top speed limited to little over 200Km/h..

[@elcobra98]

​@@HillClimbMonstersWait, correct me if I'm wrong but, he left the short RX gear ratio on purpose for maximum cornering speed, or he just couldn't change the ratio for whatever reasons? Got me curious

[@woopimagpie]

They forgot to tell him there was corners, he just kept it flat out and steered. Amazing speed in a car with half the power and aero.

True - wing broken around halfway through the run and still got a great time.

Some interesting cars there Pity the sound was all over the place Thanks for the video 👍👍

[@joe125ful]

Wow Lotus AMG!!! That lovely sound of V8 N/A 6.2L!!!!!!

[@VampyrMygg]

Dang... I knew Solberg was crazy, I mean... when Norwegians get famous for rally it's usually because they're a madman behind the wheel, like Martin Schanche in the 80s and 90s... But seeing a Polo rally car flying like that managing similar times as 1000+ hp wings with a car attached... you almost can't believe it... XD I mean, the guy who beat him with like 0.300 something in 2nd place, literally has 1000hp more...

[@ackk6869]

Навык гонщика не менее важен чем возможности автомобиля, заводской гоночный автомобиль топового раллийного класса в принципе очень быстрая техника в подобных условиях и на таких трассах

[@Vamppas]

Yeah, it tells a crude story about skill levels. Imagine Petter behind the wheel of one of those four figure wings.

[@VampyrMygg]

@@ackk6869 Yeah, it's one of the clearest examples I've seen that I can remember, of skill level making such a huge difference. Also, as I had to use google translate for that text, the translation came out in the most formal English, I have no idea why that surprised me. :P

[@MuppetsSh0w]

Show me where on this climb you can utilize more than 800hp? VW is also much lighter and it's aero is no joke. It's impressive but you're making it seem like more than it actually is.

This year's hill climb was spectacular! I watched much of it on your live-stream.

[@C-M-E]

The pilot of that E46 gets top marks and my Full admiration for absolutely sending it! As best said by Alka-Seltzer, "That's a spicy Meata-ball!" Addendum: It's not often where I watch a motorsport event where I'm in awe of nearly the entire field, but Everyone brought something compelling to this event with wild and functional creations. Man, I bet this was a blast to attend!

The AMG M159 engine in the Lotus is normally found in the SLS and the AMG GT3 racecar.. The Lotus weighs 600kg less than both of those. edit: Audio seems a bit out of sync for a few of the runs.. Especially in the second half

[@iDropPhats]

Was the Ferrari Lotus’s door open for 2 corners towards the end of the climb? And Petter Solberg just sending it in that WRX car with little downforce and 400hp less than the top competition was just a treat to watch. Simola always brings out the craziest cars and drivers of any motorsport event across all categories including F1 and WEC. This is the reason it’s my favorite event of the whole year, you just never see these insane machines sending it in full anywhere else.

[@garrettward8503]

Solberg drove that so hard. Very nice. Notice the top 3 times were no brakes through the top S. The suspension on that R35 killed it though. Low and tight scraping the corners. Major props to Roets and the tuners on Armageddon. Suspension won that one.

Crazy to see a car with 1600 hp beat a 600hp car by only tenths. Crazy driving by Petter

[@戴紀煬]

There's no doubt that Peter Solberg is a fast driver but I think the car played a huge role too. This hillcimb road is too bumpy. Most of the aero car kept pitching up and down and scraping their front splitters. This is bad for aero cars because they can't produce downforce consistently. Therefore, the drivers can't push their cars to 100%. For the rally car, this road is smooth like butter. Solberg could drive the car as fast as he wanted.

[@dalton-at-work]

then that is the fault of those team's setup. i agree the road was bumpy, and the other teams should have accounted for it the way Petter's team did

[@davidaugustofc2574]

​@@dalton-at-work WRX cars are built for this from the ground up, or you tune cars in Midnight Club and think it's the same?

@@dalton-at-work They probably did their best. They could be running on their softest setup but it's still too bumpy. Maybe they would have more handling problems if they ran a softer setup.
