Wow, that was unbelievable, that's my entertainment for the day for sure. I bet when Sebastien is at a party he gets elected to pick up the Pizza.

When did the Pikes Peak road get paved all the way to the top?

Pretty amazing a Peugeot can climb Pikes Peak but needs a wrecker just to make it to Wal-Mart!

formariz, did it years ago , just a little slower , on the way there , we did the cowboy hall of fame , air force academy ,my wife kept telling me to stay on the inside of the road , there ware no guard rails then either , and the top half of the run was not paved . incredibly there was an older couple coming down as we were going up ,  in MODEL T , TOURING CAR ! that ford had the 4" rear brakes on it ! talk about scary . also did monarch pass at 14 thousand feet going to Leadville the highest town in the us , got stopped by a herd  of elk just outside of Leadville, herd bull was bellowing , very impressive .  great mountain pass driving out there , Eisenhower  elevated  driving was spectacular, motorcycle riding out there is serious stuff , often passed at 130 mph +. good trip , pete

I had to look it up, 2011.

 

I was there years age when the top half was dirt.  It was just before the hill climbs and the racers were adjusting their fuel for elevation, lots of fun.  My Buick Quadrajet didn't like the thin air and I wasn't going to re-jet for this one time, so I just kept the hammer down thru the switchbacks to keep it from flooding out.

This is really fearless riding.

Guy Martin following Michael Dunlop around the Isle of Mann TT circuit.

Over 200 mph on public roads with all the hazards you can imagine.

Enjoy

Oh yes! Isle of Man is a REAL road racers circuit. Been round it myself. Once with a 750 Norton Commando on Mad Friday and once on a bicycle. The bicycle was a lot less stressful. :D
