Loeb's run up the mountain will always be tops with me. Most of the best Open Class drivers have spent decades on the mountain, learning every nuance of the road. Loeb came in as a rookie, in a car that had never been tested in competition, and blew the existing record out of the water. Electric cars came to the forefront in the years after and with no worries about the altitude as internal combustion engines have, they have steadily improved on that time. A decade of experience on the mountain, driving the latest prototype EV, I believe Loeb would still be King of the Mountain. Also, I believe Monster Tajima deserves at least a reference in a video like this but still s Like from me. Great video.
Imagine that in France he said into an interview that he wanted to beat Pikes Peak records when the up-hill was unpaved just dirt & gravel and i bet my hamster cage he died about 5 years ago RIP-Riko and i have no use for that cage.. S. Loeb could do it without too much worries on dirt & gravel as well no doubt in my mind specially considering his racing background.. (9 times WRC Champ, Rally cross champ X-Games/GRC /RX, BTCC -Citroen Elyse, Dakar, LeMans).. he is very impressive !
Arie has the best run with the greatest film to complement it ever. These cars aren't the same as a group b with dirt roads no matter how good Sebastian is and I agree hes one of the very best ever to drive a car
People who are curious. The siren on the electric cars is to warn that the car is coming even some of the quiet gas cars have to have one. I know its stupid but its better then getting hit by a car you can't hear even tho the wind noise alone and tire noise is pretty much clear as all hell. (People walk across the roads like idiots. A few electric cars almost have hit more people so they added sirens)
Ne pas oublier la femme formidable MICHELE MOUTON qui a gagné en 1985 sur AUDI S1sur route en terre .Elle a cette année 70 ans .Son pilotage en rallye groupe B est une pure merveille. les performances actuelles ne sont pas comparables routes goudronnées et surtout voitures électriques qui ne perdent pas de puissance en altitude .les voitures thermiques en perdent près de 50%.Regarder absolument MICHELE en rallye c'est une funambule tout parait si simple.
I’m Old School - the drivers who conquered the mountain when it was unpaved are the GOATs…. Their cars fought for traction the whole way up the hill, losing traction and time every foot because of wheel spin and sliding across the road. Walter Rohrl, Bobby Unser, Michele Mouton, Ari Vaatanen, Rod Millen etc really had skills!!
Agreed for sure. It’s cool to watch these crazy times but it’s an entirely different event compared to the 3/4 dirt road. Climb Dance will forever be etched into my head - Ari with one hand on the wheel and the other blocking the sun, sideways with his foot still pinned to the firewall. Completely epic.
DAMN! That Peugeot had me tear-jerking!!! Not from any sadness but quite thee opposite, I felt my adrenaline rise every time he flew by, and yes! It felt like he flew by! in fact, he did fly by.
Bom dia !!!!! Eu já tinha visto esse vídeo há uns 02 anos atrás. Só Máquinas incríveis. Sonho um dia ir assistir essa corrida de perto. Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.
It blows my mind on how fast they get on Pikes Peak. It's a totally different driving experience. I visited it in June 2019. Couldn't go all the way to the top due to construction. But the check point they have half way down to check the temp on your brakes. (300 deg and they park you until they cooled down). The switch backs was so much fun.
He really floor it, that Peugeot was really singing - Legendary run.. ;0) Shout out for Tajima as well and old warriors from Group-B (Rohrl, Vatanen & Michele Mouton).. I feel like all went there with one purpose in mind to send it !
True. But you are talking about energy density, the true potential of electric drivetrains is power density. You can't reach the power density of an electric drivetrain anymore with combustion engines.
@@christiansprojects-cgmanuf1426 True, unless we are talking top-fuel dragsters or rocket engines. They still smoke electric engines in power to weight, even if you just include the engine and the drive train and ignore the fuel/battery weight. However, a high reving engine with enough turbo bost can stay somewhat competitive with an electric motor. For example the BMW I-4 1.49 L M12 1986 turbo engine that powered the Arrows A9 F1 car had a power to weight ratio of 8.25 kW/kg while high end electric engines seem to be around 10 kW/kg.
Dumas il envoie! Loeb il part sur un autre globe! et Mouton Michèle, il nous en faut une nouvelle mdr Sans oublié Augier, Gasly, Pagenaud et tout les autres!
if this stage was on dirt, you would see what Loeb can do, 9 times champion in a row. the car's engine is limited to 250 km, you can hear the engine cutting speed
Wow great video, keep up the great work.!!! Does anyone know what the smoke coming out of that electric VW was, that has the record? It could have been brake dust, but seemed excessive...
Aero..dust from the road..it's called Rooster Tail. idk maybe google "Rooster Tail Cars" It's from the Venturi Effect when you have a flat bottom under the car chassis..and a Diffuser at the back set at an Optimal Angle..around 7 degrees. Basically it sucks your car onto the ground, creating downforce without drag.. Just try and use a vacuum cleaner without attachment and suck the floor, then put a Piece of Paper or Cardboard with coins underneath, imagine that as the car, put on the floor. Then slowly tilt the vacuum nozzle up, you'll notice that the cardboard will try to grab the floor first instead of being sucked by the vacuum. Or do it the other way around and use compress air, same thing, aim at the floor..it'll suck instead of blowing it off the ground when aimed at optimal angle.
Yea but too bad Combustion Engine will lose in the future due to Elevation changes. Loeb's Peugeot is prolly running at 500 hp near the Peak. Hopefully with Formula E being a thing, we'll see even higher revving Motors.
@Frank De Ruiter obviously, the pro electric kids have never watched a race before! They have no idea that half the excitement is the beautiful sound, and smell of burnt oil and gas what makes watching a race car so thrilling!
@@Barkevshadian You can stay in the past then old man. EVs are the future. Us "kids" know that we'd be living in a ruined planet after you're long gone if we don't transition to renewable energies soon, including in cars and racing. You've had your fun with the screaming, oil burning cars in the past. The future is about cars that go even faster with less impact to the environment. You don't like it? Not our problem.
Out of the fast ones Sebastian Loeb's is the most like a car you would see on the roads, just take the oversize splitter and spoilers off and you'd think a street tuner had done it.
Impressive, they do 8 minute runs now. But think about that: 34 years ago, Walter Röhrl did 10:47 in a understeering, huge turbo lag front engine car, without any electronic aids and on fucking gravel! I mean those electric cars are fascinating but nowhere as brutal as the monsters they had to tame back then.
I mean you are not wrong but 20% improvement in times signifies even increasing stress on the driver's body sth that as far as I am i aware we cannot do something to reduce. Yes the cars in theory are easier to drive, but also the driving is harder of the driver if that makes sense. I fairly certain we are reaching the limit of what humans can do on that road. I don't know if we reaching any limit in terms how physically fast an object with wheels can do it though
@@hellNo116 That's true. But I think that there's still potential within the limits of a human. I mean, just take a look at fighter jet pilots. The acceleration we achieve with wheels is still far away from the g-forces in a fighter jet. So I think that there's still plenty of room.
'they have sirens so people can hear them' - the spectators pretty much know if they walk onto the road they'll get killed. A siren is a stupid idea and makes the spectacle feel slow, flat and plastic. So there are electric cars that are quiet, I'm guessing no-one thinks the average Neanderthal spectator can comprehend such sci-fi madness. Why not use horns like in WRC? Or have a man with a flag and a whistle walk in front, or an ice-cream van, or a F1 car with 25 sirens that just blasts spectators off the mountain with noise.
It would be interesting to see remote control airplanes do that same course just like 10 feet off the deck or maybe even drones or even half scale race cars that be kind of mean but also like to see a downhill gravity race on that hill
Anytime you see a big aero electric car on Pikes Peak, you know they are going to be quick. The elevation change and lack of dense air at the summit gives electric motors a huge advantage.
As for me, Loeb and his Peugeot is the best because it’s on gas and his time the second best, after this electric “freak car” and Loeb’s time was 5 years earlier…in that time he was fastest in the world and Pikes Peak almost!!!
I love that the Volkswagen didn’t even need the siren, you could hear the whine of the motors over the sirens, not as loud as those 4 bangers but still. Sounded like the future.
2 names stand tall from d other..Rhys Millen n d undisputed champ..Romain Dumas..u guys were not human..u were the definition of..superhero in real world..😅😅
I wonder what time would the most powerful car here set on a perfect run. The Drive eO PP100 has more than twice the power of the VW ID.R while weighing just 100 kg more, yet it looks like the insane amount of torque is tough task for the driver to handle.
I wonder how the Porsche 919 Evo would do (the car that has the current record at both Nurburgring and Spa-Francorchamps). It certainly has enough power to make an impact and the ground effects that make it illegal should help it anywhere it’s got some speed...
When self driving tech fully matures, those cars would be faster and safer than any human driven cars. They don't need to care about and won't be affected by g-forces as much as human drivers after all. They'd also make far fewer errors than any human driver. They'd literally be able to be pushed to go as fast as physics would allow cars to drive on roads and their computer brains would be able to calculate.
@@gerhardaryawardana72 yeah that’s what’s super exciting they could save so much weight without a cockpit. No need for roll bars a gas pedal brake pedals dashboard nothing. That’s like 400lbs of weight. And yeah the lateral gs also would be amazing. Because they could corner without worrying about breaking the drivers neck lol
@@19speedi exactly we’ve hit a plateau because they are too afraid for driver safety which I understand but going balls to the wall is what drives innovation
Je risque de paraître vieux jeux mais je trouve que les voitures électriques manque tellement saveurs... entendre les moteurs thermique avec leur gros turbo ca a tellement plus de classe
Someday, far in the future, alien anthropologists will find this footage and come to the conclusion that humans worshipped these vehicles as gods. “Holy...!”
no it’s because they go from 9k to 14k ft and idk a ton about tuning but it’s hard to tune at a power level that can account for the altitude change like that
Wonderful to hear these monumental and noisy combustion engines echoing in the mountains. Unlike these annoying electric cars, which are extremely fast, but pass zero emotions. Electric cars are the future, but what a boring future it will be.
Yeah I'm sure idiots lamented the clop of horsehooves on cobble at the advent of the automobile too... Boring nothing, hearing the aero working and every ounce of tire being put on the pavement is what gets my heart pumping. Any idiot can make a car loud with a hacksaw.
I heard that the Volkswagen car had 4 motors but, due to some technical issue, only two were functioning for the run. Which means that the car with the fastest time did it with one hand tied behind its back.
immagine that Faggioli with a not official car..... 1st time ...with problems with tyres.and set up.....and engine with lower power then expected.... did 3th time... pure talent....
Most of the vehicles were the equivalent to a LMP 2, you had 1 WRC champion car and driver 2013 Peugeot 208 T16PP driven by Sebastien Loeb, and the equivalent to a IMSA DTP/LMP1 the 2018 Volkswagen ID.R All of them driven by Professional Race car Drivers!! They all have either Le Mans, Rally Cross, F1, and/or similar Experience.
Simone Faggiolli is another legendary Hill-climb specialist.. : 11 times European Hillclimb champion and 13 times Italian Hillclimb champion. Pikes Peak is the ultimate hill-climb that most pilots from around the world dream to conquer but very few qualify.. !!!
those are some really fast ambulances
Yeah because mr finishline has heart attack, thats why they have to be there quick.
Lol

Its because they are electric or hybrids, they are required to have it so spectators can hear them coming

That how the Frenchies deal with Pikes Peak
On the straights that electric VW ID.R sounds like a jet on wheels on land!
LOL I love how every clip of the ID.R is the same response. Either "holy CRAP" or "HOLY FUCK".
Wahouuu, sacré pilotes tout ça !! Merci pour ce podium légendaire..👍👍👍
People risked thier lives for these clips. Thank you ❤️

Someday, far in the future, alien anthropologists will find this footage and come to the conclusion that humans worshipped these vehicles as gods. “Holy...!”
are these petrol powered cars engines power is rated at sea level because on the top they run out of breath
no it’s because they go from 9k to 14k ft and idk a ton about tuning but it’s hard to tune at a power level that can account for the altitude change like that
And now, as fast as they can, descending the Pikes Peak Hill.
19:35 - it sounds like an actual JET...
14:40 speed limit 20...
Imagine doing the Illegal legally
Bravo Sebastien Loeb,bravo Peugeot Weltklasse!
Wonderful to hear these monumental and noisy combustion engines echoing in the mountains. Unlike these annoying electric cars, which are extremely fast, but pass zero emotions. Electric cars are the future, but what a boring future it will be.
Every single cameraman in the last run disagrees, you can hear them all shout "Holy "
@@TheXtrafresh It's my opinion, not theirs.
Yeah I'm sure idiots lamented the clop of horsehooves on cobble at the advent of the automobile too... Boring nothing, hearing the aero working and every ounce of tire being put on the pavement is what gets my heart pumping. Any idiot can make a car loud with a hacksaw.
Never forget: 11.09,220 -> Walter Röhrl -> -> -> ON SAND!!!
I heard that the Volkswagen car had 4 motors but, due to some technical issue, only two were functioning for the run. Which means that the car with the fastest time did it with one hand tied behind its back.
immagine that Faggioli with a not official car..... 1st time ...with problems with tyres.and set up.....and engine with lower power then expected.... did 3th time... pure talent....
that IDR is ridiculously fast and when flying by at top speed the thing sounds like a jet
Well I for sure thought I would’ve seen the legendary Suzuki Escudo Pike’s Peak on this list.
Gran Turismo- You have failed me… 😔
Just when I thought electric cars couldn't get any lamer. Hahahaha those sirens are incredibly wank. Literally anything would be better.
the cars are getting faster- the sirens are for dumb people
Falta una d las mejores subidas.la q hizo ari vatanen cn el peugeot 405
loeb's car has 1hp/kg. that's crazy.
The Future 24 hrs a day of cop car ambulance or fire truck sounds kill me..
the 2018 Volkswagen ID.R electric car sound like my RC brushless car hahahaha
Most of the vehicles were the equivalent to a LMP 2, you had 1 WRC champion car and driver 2013 Peugeot 208 T16PP driven by Sebastien Loeb, and the equivalent to a IMSA DTP/LMP1 the 2018 Volkswagen ID.R
All of them driven by Professional Race car Drivers!! They all have either Le Mans, Rally Cross, F1, and/or similar Experience.
Simone Faggiolli is another legendary Hill-climb specialist.. : 11 times European Hillclimb champion and 13 times Italian Hillclimb champion.
Pikes Peak is the ultimate hill-climb that most pilots from around the world dream to conquer but very few qualify.. !!!
I will never forget in the early 60s sitting at devil’s playground watching Bobby Unser in an upright sprinter that Chevy V8 never sounded better
Pour la numéro 2 , la Peugeot 308 T16 de Loeb, j'ai juste envie de dire....ET LA, PAS CALMé LES RICAINS !
