I loved every minute of this video! Just have to tell you though about my first summit of PP. June 1, 1975, I was not the first auto on the climb... We passed several larger cars on the way up, gravel road on the top half. 1973 Pinto St Wgn, 2L, family of 4 on board and following a snow plow into the summit parking lot, we were the first automobile to summit Pikes Peak in 1975. No credit, no prize, little O2, what a beautiful view though. Hated to descend. Thanks again for the screaming and fascinating video!

@@Remzly - they're both dangerous... but in terms of sheer numbers that allow for direct comparison, Isle of Man has claimed more lives per event, than any other sanctioned race event of my knowledge. Pikes Peak definitely has its risks... but they're honestly far lower than even the Dakar rally.

This should have 10 million views.. OMG... I'm emotionally drained.. I cant imagine actually being a driver.. LOLOL

Pike's Peak is insane! That car is insane! And those guys are National Treasures.

Total monster drivers and cars!! Literally riding on the razors edge of death and killing it!! Loved this!

You know you are really pushing the limits when the powdercoat crushes and brake bolts loosen and fall off. Wow.

As someone who learned how to drive in those mountains I totally agree that you only do it if your in sync with the mountain That being said racing up the mountain means nothing the real test is downhill.

Ten minutes isn't the same now that it's paved to the top.

Really don't need music at all when the cars are ripping up the hill. The car alone is the perfect soundtrack IMO. A nice doco vid on an iconic race.

Man, that was a close call at 29:36. I think he only missed it by 10 inches or so 😲 Great job!

I was wondering why the brand of engine was never mentioned. The engineers at Suzuki built a game changer world wide with the release of the GSX1300R ENGINE back in 1999. I am a bit biased as I own my own Busa that has given me thrills for close to a decade. So... a big Congratulations to all of you team members for your commitment, dedication, and focus to make it all come together on one glorious day! Also.. to you 3 drivers.. you are a gutsy bunch of calculating men! It takes nerve, daring, and guts to hold your life in your hands so many times in the minutes it took to reach the peak. My hat is off to all of you. A truly Great accomplishment! Thank you for showing this video to the world. Also... doing so much with the lightest combo that you guys engineered to perfection.

" *I was wondering why the brand of engine was never mentioned* " That's because if you ask them for sponsorship, they give you a big, warm "eff you", or so I heard. Granted, they don't need to sponsor those bikes. They dominate anyway.

This car looks like the most fun you could have driving a car.

This race reminds me of the Isle of Man TT. Both "old school" road races where if you screw up, you die.

I love Pikes Peak... was there when rod millen just missed the 10 min. Mark. A 9.37 plus all cars cross the summitt is a totally awesome individual and team win

I am not a car type guy but this video was epic, it left me emotionally drained and then tearfull at the end, brilliant !!

Tears already streamed.... as he clips off 9: 37.... wow... KUDO'S gentlemen. Seth

Balls of brass bother , balls of BRASS , dude you rock !!!

Thank you for taking me to Pikes Peak Guys 😎

I just found this video almost 2 years later and I must say, you guys are fantastic. May God bless you all and keep you safe for many years to come. -Much love!

The human brain knows no limits and racing is one the of the most challenging of the elements to haunt them i was around racing in my younger days it still holds the most awesome feeling in the world to break records go faster than you thought possible this is one of the best videos i have ever seen on how it all works. Thank you so much for all your efforts.!!!!!!!!!!

I've said it before and said it again - do not stop making these videos guys and don't stop doing what you love. What you're doing is infectious as all hell! In awe of the team spirit you all share driven all on the same passion and love for the sport of racing. Hat will always be off to you Cole and your team.

Good content but I imagine it’s not a larger channel because much of the content is focused in certain areas but also a lot of their cars are not in reality of affordability for normal people and seems many larger corporate sponsored content doesn’t get as large. Still entertaining stuff though. I’d love to get behind the wheel of their cars lay it down.

When I was stationed at Ft Carson in the late 80s I used to drive up PP all the time. There were no paved roads and no guardrails whatsoever. And yet they raced. Man, I'd like to race Kart up that beast.

Lets go Aaron, and lets go team! Just baddass people all the way around!

Yes Aron is the reason I found out about Pikes peak...glad to see he's still up there going after that mountain

Isle of man is the most dangerous in my book.

I have been having an absolute blast with this car in Forza horizon 5, to be honest, I assumed it was a pretend toy, like some of the hotwheels cars they have added in the game, but no, youtube offered me this video and I'm like wait...this is a real vehicle? Outstanding! It would be a dream to have a rip in the real one, man it's fun in the game, especially on the hotwheels tracks doing loops and spirals. :)

The pace and editing of this video is fantastic, I was hooked the whole time.

Since it's all paved, I no longer consider it "pikes peak". Just another road.

This is some of the best racing content I have ever seen in my entire life! You guys are destined for big things with this channel

Absolutely freaking amazing, emotional, and a whole lot of pride, and I'm not even a part of the actual team, just absolutely blown away, well done guys 👏🏼👍🏻🍻

I think Grand Turismo put Pikes Peak on the map for none racers back in the day. Now everybody knows of the legendary track. Must be a true riot to actually drive it in RL.

It's a terrifying course. Driving at normal speeds looks like a buzz, let alone at racing pace.

Big ups team, been an awesome journey to watch

Wow a 9.37 that's ridiculous good... hat's off too the crew an the driver's

you guys make epic content. production quality, vision, drama and insight are all first rate.

Passion exudes from his pores and what an incredible sight to see it and to hear you tell your story. Congrats

Incredible team , amazing everyone

Love it - what a great story!!!!! Well done everyone involved.

Pikes Peak holds for me, the same sort of attraction like Isle of Man TT, Paris - Dakar and similar adventures…..so much so this film has got you a new subscriber! 👍 On a side note, if they set this time using a manual shifter, imagine how much faster they would be with a reliable paddle-shift setup….me thinks there is much much more to come 😮😎🙏👏👏👏🤟

Absolutely incredible work! That’s all I can say. Just spectacular 🔥

Awesome! Just awesome.

I think the Isle of Man might object to the title of “ most dangerous racetrack “. Great production and video.

Mad respect. congrats. I have done some endurance racing and just finishing is a bloody job. So happy for you guys. and the crew who helped you get there. congrats..........

All I can say is from the bottom of my heart Wow!! Congrats!!!!! 🎉

Awesome!!!

Well done you guys i loved every second og this video just goes to show its not the size of an engine but how it all comes together with a excellent driver

Grew up at the base of that mountain. Dirt roads all the way up. Overpowered full size cars, forcing skids into turning having cars pointed in the new direction before entering turns. Far to much excitement to relay here. True racing, expert drivers. I miss it. I'm 78.

I believe that black thing on the road right before the smoke of the car caused a timing error and lost timing causing the smoke… but it’s crazy how a small pot hole of imperfections on the road can cause complete engine malfunction

Hell yeah brother congrats Charlie Western PA 👍

Great video and top quality production

great video wonderful production.

Need one on the road as my daily driver.

amazing

I LOVE THESE DIY CARS THEY ARE THE SPORTING FUTURE FOR US NORMAL PEOPLE WHO WAS NOT BORN RICH, HOW MANY OF US COULD AFFORD A F1 OR RALLY CAR? AND YOU COULD PUT ANY ENGINE YOU WANT AS LONG AS IT FIT THE CAR

Best damn video i saw all week!!!

Cool car and cool video too! Best of luck for the future!

Is there a build video on the kart ? Love to see what goes into these and the whole process !!!!

I am NEVER doing Pikes Peak; I would SH &% myself. But one of these race buggies on a 'normal' twisty track would be awesome!

Awesome content.Well done boyz

The one thing i learned about the peak tires are everything . Most run a endurance tire not me i run super sticky and wore out by the time you hit the top .

one day ,when im older, im going to bring my 4.0L mustang and crush the slowest record on Pikes Peak 😂

Congrats guy

Wow man! I'm so glad I've come across your awesome video, I have dreamed about a car just like this every since I was a kid watching TV biggies race and thought if only I had the money and expertise to build something like that it would be awe inspiring. Congratulations to you and your team, these Sierra RX3 cars are the pinnacle of rally cross cars, off-road, bitumen, anything, I'm sure even in ice they'd rip it up. I've shared your videos and thank you for what you've done. I've been watching Aaron Kaufman for years. I wish we could get them in Australia and love to test drive these.
