Pikes Peak 2021 Fastest Time On Board - Robin Shute

[@rkeil3145]

You know how you often see people do stuff on KZbin and think that "I could do that"? This is not one of those things.

[@tdalb8985]

There is no improving upon what you said. If I had the ability, I don't, I'd be too scared anyway.

[@Florida-cracker]

I drove up in 2019. The speed limit is 20MPH. I was white knuckled the entire way...doing the speed limit.

[@CORNDODGER]

I could do that but I would need NOS by the ton

[@jamessemple5072]

Stones like planets this guy must have in that rocket go kart he’s in Great driver 🤙

[@godslayer1415]

I managed 11:07 - which was my personal best - and a quick time - he did it in half the time

[@RustOnWheels]

This looks like it’s playing on 2 x speed… Insane!

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

I'm still convinced it is

[@ironmonkey1512]

the crazy thing is these speed clips looks slower than if you were in person

[@oohahitsanrccar1913]

U can see by hands on steering wheel it isn't speeded up and the bumps look real time but yeah scenery is going by like 2x speed

[@chrisstopher2277]

Got to be the camera

[@Robert-un3cf]

The footage seriously looks sped up. Absolutely insanely fast.

[@rjung_ch]

So sad the race wasn't the full length. That ID R would have had a great challenger in Robin Shute, Robin may even have beaten the multi million project, hope next year it's to the top and he'll be the grand victor of the mountain! So well done!

[@rjung_ch]

@H K you just watched Hoonigan? Love that car!

[@VanIsleNuckFan]

You can easily figure out and compare times using the in car....but you can do it, Im not gunna.. XD

[@enricopravato6677]

it would certainly have been better, but there was no chance of beating the ID R, they were like 20 seconds behind at the end. I mean, that's predictable given the difference in budget

[@avada0]

@@enricopravato6677 By the end of the section raced? Or do you project it for the whole length?

[@enricopravato6677]

@@avada0 by the end of the section, if you play the two videos together you can check when the id r reaches the point when this race ends

[@BunnyR13]

Thats deeply impressive driving, the mid-corner speed in Every corner is astonishing!

[@grendelum]

that is a terrifying ride... wild acceleration out of that nice bit of kit.

[@Navin.R.Johnson]

This is a magnificent perspective, thanks for posting. Btw, if you shot this with a fairly modern Hero and the GPS was enabled, you may be able to add telemetry to your video for free. There are a few apps out there that can do that for you. Also, your previous video on the prep, EXCELLENT! Like all your others, your storytelling is what makes them awesome.

[@LBS4]

You spent time discussing it in your previous video but to see the grip this car has in real time is insane!

[@mshef140]

Thanks for this! Wish they had muffled the wind noise a bit. Would've loved to hear him running up and down the gears for the whole run.

[@SuperfastMatt]

Next time we'll kick up the production a notch with some wind screens and maybe an engine mic

[@EpimethiusInPerpituity]

@@SuperfastMatt honestly it felt way more authentic with the wind noise. Helps you appreciate just how fast he is actually going up that mountain.

[@MihzvolWuriar]

@@SuperfastMatt Put the mic behind the dashboard, I know the car is MR, but at least it'll be protected from the wind, I THINK, I dunno at that speeds hahaha

[@jacobm2625]

@@MihzvolWuriar the car will be plenty loud enough to hear the engine from a dashboard mounted mic

[@RustOnWheels]

This might sound strange but a piezo element with a small suitable (mic) preamp would be a very lightweight way to pick up only the contact noises. Calibration would be a nightmare though, it would be quite the dynamic range I reckon. Piezo discs are very, very cheap and very lightweight so it’s worth a try. One would preferably place it on a spot where the engine vibrations are far more intense than the wheel contact vibrations to get an intelligible sound. This will only pickup sounds that make the piezo vibrate so wind wouldn’t be a big issue but any noises from the driver, bystanders and such will not be picked up (alas (?)). I’ve used cheap piezo’s for all kinds of things: as a pickup on the bridge and underneath the neck of a rockabilly upright bass, on a knife (for a theater show), on a wooden prop (as triggers for a synthesizer) and many other things. With the right preamp they can sound quite okay (with a bad preamp they sound quacky).

[@markvisconti4507]

Robin is a good lad. All the best to him, his team, and his family. Nicely done!!!

[@whiteskyflyer]

Hey Robin, used to watch you race when I was stationed at fort Carson. Huge fan! I am years behind you, lots of learning still to come. Just wanted to say I appreciate every video you put on the webs. I learn one or more thing. Just getting into the SCCA world now, trying to setup my car for the PPIHC requirements. Final comment just wanted to say thanks for inspiring others and being willing to help others along the way.

[@RUNE-66]

Mr Shute is nothing but awe inspiring. This is the most brutal, intense and exhilarating in the car clip I have ever seen. Wow...

[@rjung_ch]

Insane speed what a K20 engine can do, just amazing!

[@gamboodle]

Looks insane, I could see this as a sprint, but for nearly 6 whole minutes going all out is crazy, much respect to all the teams and drivers.

[@luisfernandes4145]

It takes a very special kind of pilot, an insane kind! 🤯

[@gregkelley7182]

This is awesome!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@paolodezar4008]

Just wow very different perspective on the speeds that drivers get upto on this bill. Bravo

[@csn583]

Feels so much scarier (from the safety of my living room) above the treeline! Truly awesome drive.

[@dtom1145]

Crazy! One of my top ten things never to do! I’ve gone up the Peak at normal speed and that was amazing. Not sure how these guys do it.

[@bumpedhishead636]

Seeing how fast you go from curve to curve is incredible. There is no way I could steer, brake, accelerate, shift AND maintain my concentration to know where I am now and what is coming next! My eye would wander to one of the trees, a spectator or a helicopter and BAM! They would be scraping me off the side of the mountain.

[@petercortez3412]

All Hail Shute🙌Amazing Video😍

[@stanmccorkle]

Dang… that guy is super fast, Matt.

[@jasoniannone9675]

4:42 Shute celebrates a fast section.

[@VanIsleNuckFan]

Came from Hoonigan, great run!!

[@pope400]

It needs to be noted that this isn't the full course. That's an important detail.

[@fillman86]

man I would have loved to see this complete the entire thing!! It looked on pace for a record

[@Darth_Sai]

His mid corner speed and braking were out of this world, he was probably downshifting more than using the brakes to slow down and merely dabbing on the brakes with his pinky toe. Insane run.

[@johnw3915]

It is always amazing to watch a talented person and thanks for sharing. I hope you get invited out for next year's run as well. Maybe run your electric jag?

[@paulw8356]

Geez! When Dad ran the Peak, in 1966, 13 minutes was screamin' fast! I know that's the diff twixt dirt and pavement, but I liked it better on dirt. This remains one of my unfulfilled types of motorsport, but if Sir Richard Branson wanted to bankroll me...IN A NEW YORK MINUTE!!!! This also amply shows why late apexing is soooo important!

[@CORNDODGER]

So very fun coming along for the ride ! Seems you lost a little time by being late in on some turns but damn your the best! The ony way I see you going faster is adding a DRS system so you can dump some drag when you can CRAZY AREO CAR like that

[@lepmuhangpa]

DRS, Active suspension, and a ground effect fan.

[@21jimmyo]

Congratulations to Robin Shute for his 2021 win, Pike's Peak is nuts, but I think Mt. Washington in N.H. might be crazier.

[@KijanaMBrajon]

that was wild. audio is also fantastic.

[@christophershafer5615]

Such a cool video! Do any of the cars have the downforce applied "directly" to the tires/control arms? So you're only pushing down on what you care about and the body can move separately from the downforce?

[@SuperfastMatt]

I didn't see any, but it wouldn't surprise me. It would be a bit difficult with the high downforce and the bumps (your wing would be unsprung), but I'm sure someone has done it.

[@WickedTRX]

@@SuperfastMatt When i was a kid 1:8 RC cars were that way, body attached to the uprights / spindles / thingy with the bearings where the wheel axle goes through .

[@ChrisZBr0wn]

We did that in our FSAE cars in college. I bet its hard to do with how bumpy this road is, we had issues sometimes going between concrete slabs... but our undertray was ridiculously low because more better.

[@MrJohannVegas]

I don't know if this was before or after the era of the movable aero/unsprung aero rules (and the minimum ground clearance rule), but I am so glad those days are gone.

[@that1dude628]

Pure skill and a HUGE set of nuts right there.

[@permagnusandersson6052]

Wow. Crazy car, crazy driver. Crazy to see, they did not put a frickin anti wind thingy on the mic. 6min of pure white noise. great.

[@LxftRxght]

Absolutely insane. Robin Shute, speed god.

[@jirosaves_theworld]

fuhhhh seeing this made me shivering so much kudos to the driver!!

[@LordHolley]

That looked awesome. Love to hear more about that car, great driving!

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

I like the capilliary line taped to the box next to his head and going into his helmet, providing a constant supply of refreshing vodka

[@Apjooz]

Honda's K20 ICE powerhouse extrremely turbo charge did not tired of pushing this car up to the top

[@truegret7778]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our newest virtual motion E-Ticket thrill ride (for those of us old enough to remember what "E-Tickets" were at Disneyland - and no, they are not "electronic tickets") !!! Wow!

[@MrAdrianoandrade]

Even if I had the guts to do this, my bird brain would make me forget the track right around turn 4...

[@G58]

Okay, I admit to always wondering why your channel was called SuperfastMatt. Now I get the Superfast bit, but there’s no doubles T in Mad!! The barriers seem woefully inadequate on the one hand, but deadly on the other. Thank you for sharing. That’s one crazy race. Do bikes also complete?

[@WireWeHere]

Chute, scary fast is bloody impressive.

[@jobsingames]

What a Fabulous piece of driving.

[@epazzetti]

this same video would be so cool with a bit the mic tucked near the engine away from the wind and some telemetry, but really really cool!!

[@mykemech]

3:52 This is a massive chance for mass casualty

[@jakobanderson6213]

not bad...climbed it with my 1.5 3 cylinder ecoboost in 45 😂

[@deano4847]

Wow, I used to go when the road was still dirt! It was awesome!👍👍👍

[@tappajaav]

That's serious speed. Do you know what's the top speed you hit? On-screen speedo would've been nice addition. Did you go very wide those few times you had to shift down to 2/1 or is that just illusion caused by the camera? Is it just impossible to hit perfect corners there every time?

[@G.B]

Why does this not show up in my subscriptions? KZbin offered it on the Home page though..

[@oikkuoek]

There was still four seconds extra on the clock for that same car.. making the perfect run in PP is insanely difficult.

[@chandlerkirkland475]

What a mad man!!

[@a.r.1981]

Is the finish line in the same place for the cars as the bikes ? Crazy run....

[@smallestmikenike9261]

This thing flying by on the mountain was amazing, the amount of dust it lifted off the road is insane

[@maxthecheesecheeseboy9605]

Just think how much faster he would have been if had used the engine out of a Honda motor cycle

[@igorschannel]

I think they have low torque. Not useful on this scenario. Is it?

[@m.b.82]

No.

[@mshef140]

😅 *see Matt's Honda S600 videos

[@StarkRaven59]

At this venue? Not a great time. Naturally aspirated engines suffer at altitude and a 1-liter engine probably doesn't have enough muscle to push that car up the mountain.

[@juanordonezgalban2278]

A turbo 4 cylinder in that car sounds like a great matchup for me

[@jimcurt99]

That is INSANE! and if I'm not mistaken he built that car

[@jaysuneakle]

Absolutely amazing

[@blacksquirrel4008]

I think I needed supplemental O2 just watching that.

[@raleighsexton7734]

I think he was using that.

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

Awesome. What a shame that it wasn't able to run the full course.

[@Avetho]

I'd never be able to drive anything this fast, heck I have issues playing games or driving at residential-zone speeds since my reaction times some days are as bad as a half second. Well, only being able to admire racers this skilled isn't bad, its like witnessing something epic and smiling at how badass mankind can be.

[@rebbulldesertduke]

Great to see a combustion engine back on top.

[@doctoredable]

Spectators so close to the road is insane.

[@DirectInput]

You know you're going fast when the footage looks sped up

[@loveiskey7833]

This guy definitely needs credit for speen on the pikes peak definitely

[@caiobortoletto4363]

ive been there many times now, and everytime I think "how do people do this". I watch this and I still think "how do people do this"

Amazing run balls of fucking steel on that driver

[@GTFour]

What the hell powertrain is in this? Accelerates like a firework 😳

[@shoutykat]

[@luisfernandes4145]

Very light and just enough power...

[@Cmcmillen77]

I just wish I could see the speed. Wow!!!

[@smudgepost]

Well I didn't blink!

[@Arc-ZN]

So is this on time for a projected 7-8 minute run to the top or, because dang thats basically fluid driving.

[@ianlaw1160]

Where did this team have their test days at? I doubt a parking lot would suffice.

[@SuperfastMatt]

La Junta Raceway

[@numbzinger350]

Next year's run will be watched by millions. Maybe consult with GoPro to improve the audio and possibly pickup some sponsorship dollars.

[@Shazzgaming]

this guy has balls...OF STEEL

[@lepmuhangpa]

Godspeed.

[@vanillagorilla8438]

Congratulations to you for the fastest time, and you gotta love a guy who lives up to his name, especially a name like, "SuperfastMatt" and Superfast you are my friend. Incredible car/run, I mean it almost doesn't even seem real, even though I know it is/was. I found myself holding my breath, so I can only imaging the rush it must have been inside of that car, incredible job brother... 😲🤩🏁

[@NerdKrusher]

What was his top speed?

[@jamesdeath3477]

"On days like these......"

[@SkellerART]

This guy ran sub 6 minutes, my question is this. Was this run invalidated somehow? Because the record is still listed as the sub 8 minute by the VW I.DR

[@PedroBH88]

Tha wasn't the Full lenght track, thats why, actually taking the same sector as parameter that one was about 20s slower than IDR; theres just no way an Independent Team Open Cockpit will beat the time from a full "lmp1" chassis hyper eletric monster from a Factory team, unfortunately.
