Travis Pastrana's Full Record Run at 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb

Subaru Motorsports USA driver, Travis Pastrana, set a new record of 5 minutes 28.67 seconds at the 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb on the way to an overall event victory at the wheel of the Airslayer STI, his 862-horsepower Gymkhana 2020 Subaru WRX STI.
The new mark cut more than sixteen seconds from his winning time from the 2017 running of the event up the narrow, steep and treacherous 7.6-mile Mt. Washington Auto Road. Pastrana blitzed the mountain to set a time that was over 45 seconds ahead of the second-fastest competitor.
The Mt. Washington Hillclimb, traditionally held every three years, is one of the most challenging motorsport events in the United States and the oldest hillclimb in North America. In addition to its long history, the tallest mountain on the East Coast brings famously unpredictable weather and a mixed-surface road, forcing drivers to contend with grip levels that shift suddenly from tarmac to gravel and back again in the middle of the climb. With an average grade of 12% and an uneven surface bounded by serious drops above the treeline, Mt. Washington requires courage, skill and the right equipment for the challenge.
The highly developed aero package on the Airslayer STI provided a significant downforce advantage against the 600-horsepower WRX STI rally car used by Pastrana to set the 2017 mark. Along with a significant power bump, major suspension advancements and an ultra-light curb weight, the Airslayer was tailor-made for the wide-open mentality of hillclimbs. Still, the level of commitment displayed by Pastrana on the record run meant huge entertainment for the thousands of fans who lined the road at the spectator points along the roadway.

I bought a drive to the summit ticket, hence why I drove the hiker back down. Once I was already down the road, I just decided to get on with the long drive back to Windham, NH.

Absolutely this! I met him a few years back at STPR when I had just torn my ACL and meniscus days prior. I stood one legged in the crowd of people for a good 15 minutes hopping around. Finally got up there and he was telling me all about his own list of knee injuries and was asking me about how I injured mine. It was like there was nobody else around, he was just enjoying the conversation. Real classy guy, and a great role model for any kids looking to get into motorsports.

[@charlieross-BRM]

That's always great to hear. I still remember the way I was treated by a musician almost 50 years ago when I approached him in the lounge after the show. Before I could utter a word he was now holding his hand out and introducing himself by his full name, where he was from, what his parents' names were. Very traditional manners all the way. My silent thought to myself was "Yeah, I paid good money for two tickets, drove an hour and watched your orchestra for two hours. I know who you are." LOL. I hope fans of talented people like Travis and that musician (Chuck Mangione) keep the faith. There are humble leaders out there in all walks of life.

Have to cherish a dude like Travis Pastrana, just an amazingly talented daredevil with a few screws loose but in the best way. Ive yet to see another guy like him, that just has pushed the limit in everything he's done, and has been the best at it. People like this just don't come around very often, especially today with the way most kids will play video games and sit on their phones and social media rather than ride a bike, a skateboard, whatever. Realistically we may never see another like him, so just got to appreciate it while its here.

[@1Chanimal]

The balls it takes to beat your own record run! Always fun watching him drive

[@slimsantilli4476]

I wish those that haven't been to Mt Washington, could appreciate the incline he was racing up.

I was actually thinking about that. I can only imagine how different video vs reality is. So gnarly.

I believe that the feat shown in this video is much more appreciated by those who have driven on this road. I barely was able to keep a sane mind driving at a maximum speed of about 15 MPH. Kudos to Mr. Pastrana and the Subaru engineers who made this possible!

[@msamour]

Holy wow! I can't believe this guy still races. I remember he used to race motorcycles in the 90's if i'm not mistaken. It takes a lot of skill to race at these speeds for such a long time.

The level of trust you have to have in your machine and crew going at that speed on that course is insane.

This is my first time to subscribe to a foreign car site, I'm usually a GM man but, I have to do this with Subaru, just like the gentleman said "This is a Beast"! I couldn't agree with anyone more. It's always been Subaru that's had the big horsepower and high performance.

[@stevemcrichards8768]

Watching this from the front POV knowing how on the limit he was the entire time is almost incomprehensible. My heart was beating, my mouth was open and my brain was struggling a bit. I know Pastrana said to the marshal at the summit that the car is a beast and he's only partially right. The car is just a static display of potential performance; with Pastrana in the driver's seat that's dynamic, on the limit, maximum attack, no mercy performance!

Been on this road in both a car and my feet (although sledding down it in the winter at 1:30 a.m. was the most fun).....what most people probably don't realize is this road averages around a 12% gradient, so it's pretty damn steep, not to mention the deep ruts right off the edge of the road (particularly on the lower half of the mtn). This is nuts.
