Pikes Peak Hill Climb with Monster Tajima 2010 - GTChannel

More car videos on gtchannel.com. Ride on the bumper of a screaming 910hp, Twin-Turbo, All-wheel Drive, 150 mph Suzuki SX4 as it races up one of the world's most dangerous hills. An attempt by the "Monster" to break his own record of 10:01:41...For the fifth consecutive time, Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima combined experience, skill and Falken Tires to claim overall victory in the 88th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Although he did not set a new Pikes Peak record, one day before his 60th birthday, Tajima continues to hold the current overall record forreaching the peak, beating hill climb veterans Paul Dallenbach and Rhys Millen in the Unlimited Class. He drove his new 910-hp MonsterSport Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special on Falken Wild Peak A/T tires, the powerful new line of all-terrain, all-season tires Falken launched this past April. Following exhaustive tests in a Japanese wind tunnel facility, Monster's 2010 Pikes Peak race car underwent extensive aerodynamic changes to better adapt to the modified road surface on the race to the clouds, which assumed a smoother tarmac and less gravel than last year. Thinning air ascending the mountain robs most motors of their power by 30 or more percent, but the increase in horsepower over last year's race car helped push the driver forward.

Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Truly one of the best car racing events EVER!

[@sammyplasm]

Of course, massive respect to the guys who race up that mountain, past or present.

[@SOLOIIguru]

This is the most skilled driving ever bestowed upon mankind.

[@WestShore88]

This is possibly the most badass thing I have ever witnessed.

[@punkenduro]

pikes peak is flat out epic. the speeds they guys do with a 3000 foot drop at some places in mind boggling.

[@etshArk87]

Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak was a monster, 985 Horsepower, engine V6 DOHC twin turbo de 1998 cc!!! But this one, Suzuki SX4, a 3.1-liter twin-turbo V6 with 897 horsepower, 654 torque is coming to compete against th old Suzuki Escudo!! Both of this two cars are real MONSTERS!!The Hillclimb should called Tajima's Hillclimb, he's the man. Nobuhiro Tajima will make history!!!

[@Crazycossie]

that hillclimb reminds me of a track on rally cross challange 2 for the original xbox and absolutly stunning drive

[@DarkPenndragon]

Driving off road takes skill. All the mistakes you make on the pavement, no matter how small they are, show up in the dirt. The more power and torque your car has, the harder to control. I didn't like this driver's lines, but it's still very impressive to see how much control he has under those conditions at his speeds. Fortunately, it was the hill climb. If it were the downhill...

[@fd2mugenRR1]

the best hill climb race on earth.........

[@Maxire]

Major dream come true. Holy crap. Adrenaline rush.

[@Georgeous153]

Brings back good memories of Peugeot's Climb Dance video.

[@princze89]

my heart stopped for a second at 8:26!

[@joenic2791]

The editing reminds me a bit of Dance.com's Speed Tribe Lemans DVD. Epic

[@sharpshot1693]

that would be the best ten minutes of my life

[@XenoRacing]

I can only imagine how much fun that must be :O

[@DonSandroOficial]

This is the mountain that Ari Vatanen up?

[@gamepro0007]

that guy must be the best driver in the world no question

[@steveguydammit]

PURE ADRENALINE. lovely!

[@EthansOpinion92]

there needed to be some in car shots haha awesome vid though. tons of talent... this is in pikes peak??!! damn

[@teslawizardvvv3]

this car is amazing

[@P4ND4ZZ]

I heard he beat his record this year...woo!!! :D

[@wiweq]

I just drove to Pikes Peak yesterday, did seem this much easy to me. may be because I was driving in one lane only :)

[@EthansOpinion92]

there needed to be some in car shots haha awesome vid though. tons of talent

[@an0daw]

hey man! you're catching the time! not the flies! :)

[@sammyplasm]

6:48 .... probably the most hardcore apex in the world.

[@Curufin42]

It's good that those people stand so close to the track just incase you lose control they will slow you down before you go into the ditch or off the cliff...

[@Aralmo640]

@SOLOIIguru yea thats all true but i also believe that this car setup has a lot of work on it. Looks just perfect.

[@xxxxdarksidexxxx]

hell yea thank you!

[@sapphpirate]

@23DCshoes yeah.... no shit that's a great observation, good job, gold star for you

[@EvtheNev]

Gotta love the kids on all GT's vids who reckon they could do better when they prob aint even won the race to puberty yet

[@2iBMX]

this is so amazing...

[@Skylinegarage_Kay]

cool that you can still hear the fans :D

[@Wombatboys]

that right there is very very impressive

[@DannyWogstarMitsis]

Wow !, Acceleration 0-62mph in 2.2 seconds (0-100km/h). Gran Turismo is real !. Anyways. Nobuhiro Tajima should drive he's cars on Race Tracks such as Laguna Seca, to set laps and compare them with other Race Machines. We would all like to see the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak '98 vs a Formula 1 on a Track (real life), it's extremely unlikely to beat a Formula 1, but it would be good, you know, to watch them race together. I just wish Tajima would read this comment and use he's cars more :)

[@Gin81593]

holy sht so many turns i wouldve freaked out on

[@7thrx]

I am so happy I live in Colorado.

[@SOLOIIguru]

@Aralmo640 all of the aerodynamics on that car produce a tremendous amount of downforce and the car is actually 4w/awd, which is what the sx4 refers to. beyond that, this man is so unbelievably skilled that noone has beaten him since he started racing in this event.

[@ELINDOOR510]

this reminds me of GT2 racing with my Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak.lol

[@Georgeous153]

@kurtleics Yeah when Peugeot sent the 405 T16 up Pikes Peak. Its an epic piece of road, must be one of the most exciting things you can do in a car, well in the front seat anyway..lol

[@Lawrencezo]

Was the car the one in all Gran turismo game the escudo spike? but this one is the new generation car?

[@DarkPenndragon]

@jimiot Believe me, I've looked. They're pretty hard to find for a reasonable price around my area. Either they're kept up or modified really nice and owners are asking for a lot, or they've been beaten to heck and are FWD. Settled on a first gen Toyota MR2, which has a nice MMR layout and about the same horsepower as the North American first gen Impreza.

[@wtfyourafuckindoosh]

this track needs to be in gt5

[@shivex]

Wow crazy scary views at some parts.

[@sapphpirate]

Makes Ken Block's Gymkhana look like the Mcdonalds drive-thru

[@rodreddick]

Awesome Vid thanks.

[@flyrydeenfly]

06:38-HAHAHA 08:24-HAHAHA 11:05-HAHAHA that is sick!!

[@bigclay50]

escudo i remember racing that on gt3 where is pikes peak located city and state

[@DarkPenndragon]

@jimiot Never doubted this guy's skill, 'cause he certainly has a great deal of it. I haven't tried rallying myself, but I would like to someday. Thanks for the heads up. :)

[@ShenaniganZone]

this vid (imo) was a bit of a let down, was hoping for a way faster run. he was very conservative on allot of his corners i think he could have done a 9:45 or:50.. maybe next time

[@elfarymomo23]

que bueno video pikes peak

[@guitarsANDcars39]

this video is so fuckin scary that even the cameras on the car would be screaming if they could

[@etshArk87]

he fucking made 10:11.46, the hillclimb record is 10:01.408 by Nobuhiro Tajima!!! So it was a very nice race

[@gato2]

@Aralmo640 its called skill!

[@BrosefDudley]

@acehole1990 That's your opinion. One could argue that you're never safe crossing any road because you might get hit by a car. In fact driving around that 900HP car, with all its safety equipment and rollcage etc, is probably safer than driving your own car down the highway.

[@essteben]

Wow hes very brave!!

[@bradleyblackster]

how much horsepower does he lose at altitude

[@shivex]

@GrammarIsAwesome Well I'm sorry I made an error. I hope you can forgive me. I learned so much from you today. By the way, did you even watch the video or just checking all the comments for grammar mistakes. Cause I'm no native English speaker.

[@johnnyr25]

that escundo is a beast

[@impreza0109]

i gasped for breath at 6:49

[@BrosefDudley]

@acehole1990 It's actually pretty safe for the driver of the car, considering all the safety gear they have to wear and have fitted to the car. As long as they dont drive off the edge they will be fine.

[@adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

@princze89 how did u type the message?

[@cmzangetsu1993]

@ELINDOOR510 hahah that is one of my all time favorite PS1 games i love the Escudo, its still great even in the newer Gran Turismo's

[@jnwmja]

They should put this in GT5!

[@b5thomas7]

new stig?

[@aveoxus]

@JeeperZJ lol, yeah the right side nose camera and the traffic cone both got owned right there! I knew the camera was doomed to be plastered back when it cracked that rock at 3:53 . I just had a feeling that it's time would soon come :D Him hitting the hay bail made me laugh though.

[@PhantomR32]

@PranksAreUs83 Not too sure how different the SX4 is from the Suzuki Escudo. But the Escudo was in most of the GT games including GT:Portable which came out last fall. So I'm 100% sure it'll be in GT5. Not too sure about Pike's Peak being in the game though.

[@aguasvivasable]

cool ride coooool

[@mrJv2k7]

i thought he made that record in the escudo, not the sx4.....

[@leinachdaniel]

I want another picture of 8:28 please.....

[@Capwonder]

@leinachdaniel no kidding why didnt we se that from te cameras perspective too ??

[@acehole1990]

@BrosefDudley To be fair, what part of this doesn't look incredibly dangerous?

[@turbonurbo]

thats some serious shit, got scared a few times lol

[@DarkPenndragon]

@jimiot That won't be necessary. Thanks for the offer, though.

[@sherlock8415]

wot a 1st view omg well worth the watch

[@PhantomR32]

8:26-8:27 made me piss myself. Thought he was gonna go off o____o

[@Twin540i]

@bradleyblackster A Turbocharged engines loses about 10-12% power at 7,000 feet, where as a Naturally aspirated engine loses 20-25% of its power at 7,000 feet. It is safe to say that this turbocharged 900 Horsepower engine at the top of Pikes Peak had lost 20-30% of its power, in addition to suffering engine failure 500 meters from the finish.

[@danielkeene2858]

Awesome

[@Jerry0ww]

Gran Turismo ultimate car!

[@BrosefDudley]

The 8 people who disliked this video have something wrong with them.

[@Aralmo640]

this is 100% rwd right? whats up with the insane traction? Oo

[@Mathies44]

Let's hope that there's no banana-peal on the road.

[@ucg102]

@DC08SI do you know anything about a pikes peak car? the car in your video doesnt have anything like 900hp in an extremely light car and in the ares that you say he could "improve" he couldnt do a better job actually no one can "improve" there thats the optimum way to take those turns , remember pikes peak cars use Dirt tires Not slicks

[@mycatwilatackyou]

so badass

[@CopperheadViper]

This is how I drive to school everyday

[@luke85weedman]

wat a fuckin driver hes got real balls

[@Heavydice]

@princze89 same here! thought he was gonna fall off the track or something.

[@spartankilla1]

damn he hit the camara

[@DrKrFfXx000000000000]

Monstruo

[@gaterzick]

he averaged a higher speed than i do on the highway in the morning

[@otacon451]

6:48 ... it was hardcore when it wasnt paved. I'm sure youve seen Climb Dance.

[@Alexj244]

6:40 SPLAT! DIE! I lol'd

[@Brando2501]

If McRae had a run at this, he'd still have the top run...

[@atmeyer47]

flipping the bird at 8:49

[@JeeperZJ]

3 things 1: if he didn't make those 2 big mistakes he would've beat his old record 2: you know your car is a fucking monster when you can hear it on video from over 1000 feet away on a helicopter 3: 6:40 and 8:20....holy fuck nuff said

[@JSFER2]

@DC08SI I agree

[@acehole1990]

@BrosefDudley I know how safe modern day race cars are but the point is driving a 900 horse power car on a dirt road is never really going to be safe. Just like all racing, the cars are very safe, but racing will always be extremely dangerous.

[@cmzangetsu1993]

Escudo FTW

[@supertrix101]

You can still get 900hp in your SX4 if you save enough cash for an engine specialist to tune up your Sx4's engine

[@jimbotwoten]

why do rally cars have that RC wind sound to them?

[@manos211194]

i wish my grandpa drive like him
