Pikes Peak Hill Climb 1987 - Walter Röhrl / Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 Record Run

[@deanmeyer1815]

I was working at the dealership in Colorado Springs at that time. Audi worked on the car at our shop during testing and practice. A very interesting week for a 23 year old mid-west country boy.

[@Barkevshadian]

Lots of people including my self were looking for pikes peak videos and some past results for no avail! Thank you for such an awesome channel and thank you for posting results! You are preserving history. Bravo.

[@j.1294]

3:15 This initial counter-swing cannot be surpassed in terms of elegance! For me, Walter Röhrl is the greatest.

[@3storiesUp]

Has to be Loeb for me .. but Walter is a rally legend indeed.

Aaaaaaa the Germans how amazing is that 5cylinder engine......so insane it had to be banned to give the rest of the world to catch up. I fell in love with it since day one as a teen. 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@mariobotti1952]

Bullshit. Delta S4 was as fast as Audi...

[@francouz23]

@@mariobotti1952 lancia delta s4 and peugeot 205 t16 were obviously one league above the audi obsolete shortwheelbase shitbox

[@francouz23]

Audi was not banned at all, in fact it was just not able to catch up with the far superior cars.. The fastest and best groupB car was the Lancia Delta S4, that was one of the major reason why the GroupB was banned, as on the very long rallies it was exhausting for a driver to catch up with that beast.. Opposite to that, S1 was such a crap (engine=mass in front of the axle, short wheelbase), Stig Blomqvist (previous year champion) and father of the 4wd driving (that taught Walter Rohrl the tricks) left the Audi team bc. he hated that thing And Audi left silently groupB knowing even the remanufactured S1E2 was uncompetitive. It scored less points the last year even than the FWD Golf 3rd category shitbox

[@vinigretzky97]

@@francouz23 yeah but compact cars are gay and the audi had the best race car sound period.

[@PoeticInsanity]

@@vinigretzky97 no they didnt, the s4 was twincharged and sounded way angrier with a beautiful Italian rev. the audi s1 is the supra of rally cars, fanboys just wanna say its the best no matter what

[@michaeldelaney4389]

To be honest, the s1 was not the best of the group b cars, it was way to heavy on the Front. The t16 and the s4 were simply better in a Whole. But that doesn't Matter. IT's that imperfaction, that raw Sound and Look of the s1 one - raw and and authentic. Same goes for walter (for me the greatest of that era -maybe the greatest of All time) he was just outstanding and always authentic, no matter what peolple Think of him. And when you watch Interviews from him you can See of what a humple Person he was and is - no matter what Media Made of him. For me, that's what motorsport is about

[@celpabedn]

Yes, but it is not a Formula 1 type of racing where you have a singular design, here they were competing by what they were selling,so of course the Peugeot had the advantage, look at rally today, you find no car types, they are all the same! Back then you had hatchbacks and sedans,today it's a singular racing prototype!

[@reichlha1968]

He is the best of all time. Of cause always difficult to compare but for me he is.

[@michaeldelaney4389]

@@celpabedn without a doubt, you're right about this. Audi was already doing a prototype / evolution of the s1 with a mid-engine. the better weight distribution would have had helped them a lot. but besides that i'm with you. also all the different engines concepts. so many different sounds. something which is missing today a lot...

[@celpabedn]

@@michaeldelaney4389 Plus the t16 was allowed to be lighter and most stages are curvy and rarely do they have long straights...Today all have the same min weight!

[@losFondos]

Which makes this performance all the more impressive! I'd like to know what he could have achieved with a Delta S4 at Pikes Peak

[@staatssekretardingsbums5592]

In einem Interview sagt Röhrl :" Wie er die Bilder vom Hubschrauber gesehen hat, wie der Wagen wie auf Schienen gefahren sei ", dann müssen das echte Röhrl Schienen gewesen sein. Nur die eine Einstellung wo er den Wagen anstellt, da bekomme ich Gänsehaut. Als ich das damals das erstmal gesehen habe, dachte ich er fährt in den Abgrund.

[@montystevens1949]

Hush everyone! Let's sit back and watch the skillful doctor perform surgery with his razor sharp scalpel.

[@pacovl46]

This is a much more accurate statement than you might know. Walther is a guy who needs to have the cars he drives perfectly under control. The car has to drift until an exactly by Walther predetermined point and not a millimeter farther!

[@barmstrong8]

I think this is more doing a successful brain surgery with a hammer.

Many Motorsports enthusiasts from the boomer generation consider Walter Röhrl to be the greatest race driver of his time, regardless of the racing class or league.

[@jakeaaron]

So do some of us younger fans.

[@amr1t_]

@@jakeaaron I have heard too many legendary stories of his skill to not seriously consider it. Don't know who else has done it quite like him.

[@theant9821]

One of, its Ari Vatanen, Henri Toivonen and Walter Röhrl that are wrestling for that honour. I like Ari Vatanen, he drove to win each rally, if he won the championship it was a bonus. He wanted to enjoy the season not just the end of it.

[@amr1t_]

@@theant9821 that's also what I liked about rohrl too. He raced because he wanted to enjoy the car and the driving. "If I wanted to fly, I would be a pilot, not a racecar driver." comes to mind :P

[@Andi_1473]

Das geilste auto der welt 😍😍😍😍

[@klausstock8020]

Nein, der geilste Fahrer der Welt. Zur Erinnerung: bevor Rörhl für Audi fuhr, hatte er im Opel die Quattros abgehängt. Einfach so. Weil er's kann.

[@andreaslugauer8280]

@@klausstock8020 Ich würde sagen: Sowohl der Fahrer als auch das Auto verdienen das Prädikat "geil in höchster Vollendung". Röhrl ist sowieso eine Nummer für sich, und der S1 ist in der Pikes-Peak-Version noch einmal um eine Spur fulminanter als die Version, die bei den Rallyes eingesetzt wurde. In Sachen Klang und Ausstrahlung völlig einzigartig. Auch wenn der Peugeot 405, den Ari Vatanen und Juha Kankkunen ein Jahr darauf eingesetzt hatten, technisch raffinierter gestaltet war. Auf der Rallyestrecke würde ich solche Geschosse aber nicht sehen wollen. Es sei denn, mit stark reduzierter Motorisierung.

[@ilovedoubled8232]

this audi looks and sound angry ass hell, my favorite car!

[@UweSpiegel]

Sie nannten es damals: “ Flügel-Monster “ , wegen der ganzen Aerodynamik -anbauteile. Aber ohne den besten Fahrer ist das beste Auto völlig nutzlos. Das Paket hat auf den Punkt gestimmt!!!

[@SHDW-nf2ki]

Walter Rohl might be the greatest driver of all time. Sure, Michele Mouton was maybe a bit more skilled. But watching Walter talk, the way he carries himself. He's a consummate professional, a humble man and truly worthy of all the praise he gets.

[@piotrmalewski8178]

Michele was an exceptional lady driver and one of best drivers in the world, but Rohrl was a lot more reliable and often even faster. If you watch a lot of recordings, there is a clear difference in driving styles. Rohrl's driving was precise, planned, he swung the car to always make the best of all 4 wheels grip he could and mitigate the car's weak points while being more agressive than Mikkola but not agressive to the point it would make him make mistakes. Michele on the other hand was passion unleashed but she just pushed Quattro and would just rely on what the car would do itself, often going heavy undeersteer whole corner and then a convulsion of unnecessary oversteer on the exist. I think that's why she ended up crashing a lot later on. Instead working on how to use the car better, she just tried to drive faster. Rohrl was willing to teach other drivers even from other teams, but she hated him.

[@Kaktuskastl]

Ich prognostizierte, es wird niemals eine Autofahrt mit einem benzingetriebenen Fahrzeug geben, die diesen Turn jemals in seiner Gesamtheit übertreffen kann.

True, Cars are faster nowadays on this hill climb. But the road is now completely tarmaced and the cars have mostly automated gearboxes, abs, esp and so on. He didn't have anything of this 1987. The car had almost 600 HP, manual shifting, less than 1000 kg weight, quite likely no abs and no esp. A record no one will beat again

[@valantj]
