That was incredible driving,very impressive.And for all who say he sucks,think about it this way:the track is half gravel,half tarmac,he's wrestling with 910 horsepower without any driving assists and the car is also long so it's not easy to keep it steady.This is not a video game,but reality.And Loeb had it easier because he drove on asphalt when he broke the record.Besides,this is more exciting to watch than Loeb's run.
I have to say this is one of the best footage's and POV video I've watched, I'll agree with some of the others who stated that Pike's Peak should've remained a semi-dirt course. I just came here from watching a sub 8-second run from a VW IDR, which basically sounded like a toy car. Don't get me wrong, it's screamingly fast! There is just much more pleasure watching a driver fight with the dirt and throwing his car into a controlled drift around the numerous technical corners. BIG KUDOS to Tajima and his team for their accomplishments on this course!
this car was not in the gt2 mano anymore this and nothing less than the Shield version but new mano that's why the class talks about it, for me the best car in the world
If everyone thinks he sucks, ask yourselves why. If he was so bad he wouldn't have even been in these cars year after year for decades, let alone winning regularly. As for people comparing this run to loebs run remember loebs run was all asphalt unlike this. Loeb had a car with a few years more development, his tyres weren't a compromise between gravel and slicks. He is much younger so he will be fitter and is possibly one of the best drivers in history. Yet this old man who sucks can still do a run to match.
I think highly of Tajima, so I won't put him down at all, but Loeb's car was sort of thrown together. The only development was the chassis and some development to the engine. All the other parts were cobbled together from various Peugeot race cars from their past efforts in WRC and LeMans (including the engine) because the team only had 6 months to make the car. It's a Frankenstein, basically, so it didn't have years more development
Antony Collingwood While i agree, this guy certainly does not suck and only idiots would say otherwise.However I think most of what you said what nonsense buddy. You sound like a 6year old
DAGATHire wow, 6 years old, normally I'm told I sound like an old man. I could understand how people don't agree with me (that's a regularity) but sounding like a 6 year old. I understand that bit. Technology does get more advanced year on year does it not? Even if Peugeot rushed it, the odds are it would be a superior design for the job it must do. Also tyres improve as we learn more. If you read up on motorsport or have grown up in and surrounded by it as I have you may see perhaps I'm not so childish as I may seem. But stranger things have happened.
Antony Collingwood I question your motorsport background story. Because people in motorsport don't give a toss about that idiots on youtube say let alone would they be bothered to take the time to make comments in reply to those idiots. , yet here you are telling us you have a motorsport background. Frankly i don't believe you. But lets agree to disagree shall we? I mean, we do agree fundamentally that the driver here is no a bad driver. So lets leave it at that. Im not interested in a fantasy story abut your amazing career in motorsport.
DAGATHire I'm not saying that I have a career in motorsport (I'm a sheet metal worker) my grandad used to do car trials in a mini cooper his brother used to rally for years and my dad races with the 750 motorclub, we have almost finished the third car we have built. Also I used to have a vauxhall chevette rally car. As a child I used to help out on and off making extended wheel arches at prepfab motorsport engineering, before they moved to France. Prepfab have built cars for big names such as Jimmy mcrae. Anyway I do agree we should agree to disagree as this is a daft argument.
In my opinion by completely paving Pikes Peak they have turned the most "unique" hill climb course in the world into "just" another tarmac hill climb......
it's safer, it's also easier to set up cars for it this way since you don't have to set it up to handle both gravel and tarmac and people will be faster and that's the endgame go fast, easy to talk shit when you're not the one working hours on end on the cars or risking your life driving them
I have something to say. The reason why pikes peak was painted because of erosion. The road would have been crumbly and about to break. Then there would be no roads. So would you have a pikes peak hillclimb or no pikes peak at all???
Der, meiner Meinung nach, unangefochten beste Autofahrer auf dieser Welt. Die Autos von heute sind wahrscheinlich traumhaft zu kontrollieren, im gegensatz zu dem S1 von damals. Gebe dir zu 100 % Recht, Röhrl ist der Gott!!
watching in 1080 bud. thx vm 4 this vid. That is pure adrenaline madness. Best p.p. vid i've seen thus far. Thx vm for posting. I would kill to simply ride along let alone drive that car.
Let me clear something out. Loeb, one of the best wrc ever, did this pike peak on asphalt. Tajima did it on half dirt half asphalt. How did you guys ever compare those 2 runs ? Its like comparing Lewis Hamilton againts Loeb on a dirt track ..... Yes the Monster Sport Sx4 have more power then loebs peugeot, it needs it, they do it on different kind of track. Yes Loeb would probably do better then Tajima for the only reason that his younger and only want to push push push and push.
+ craze2485,Esta fue la MEJOR subida por un piloto en la historia . Fenomenal verlo manejar, en tramos con una mano, porque le molestaba el sol. AdEnás fue SOBRE TIERRA ESTA SUBIDA QUEDA PARA LA HISTORIA.
Exactly the same point I thought of. This is just 2 fantastic runs driven on 2 different "Tracks" if u will... To compare it at all is a waste of time hehe
yes but ecu have limits and most important the parts like Injectors size, flow,turbo air pressure specific tuned maps etc. Race cars are tuned for very specific weather conditions one day at a time. They will not install parts at sea level and tune them together to run at high altitude.
Ok i thought ecu was programmed with limits in its ability to adapt the AFR. Here i see all diesel to smoke in the mountains and all gas engines smell strong About parts : is a set of injector can handle so big differences between top and bottom of the race ? Maybe there are two on the engine ? The turbo pressure is electronically controlled by the ecu ?
My ears are popping just from looking at it. This was a blast to watch. However, I would prefer it to have fewer camera changes. Don't get me wrong, it's great seeing it from all of the perspectives, but changing views every couple of seconds was a little bit annoying some of the times.
It was a spectacular performance. I just think the race was so much better when it was all dirt and there were no guard rails. That's when the Unser family dominated it, having learned to drive on empty dirt roads in New Mexico.
I have driven this road several times, it is even more scary than it looks. Those rain clouds actually dump hail instead of rain and can cover the road with six inches of snow in a matter of minutes. Imagine trying to drive down in that.
Is it possible to build a car for this kind of event that would use a special gasoline or mount another (bigger) air inhaust that would provide needed amount of air ?
Has the Bowler Wildcat ever set a time on the Pikes Peak hillclimb? Bet that would be quite fast, not as fast as this maybe, granted, but still pretty quick?
Maybe the record for oldest person to set a record in Pikes Peak will stay with Tajima forever, i can't imagine Rhys Millen or Loeb or other driver to have the record against younger drivers, maybe the same for Mouton the only woman to set a record in Pikes Peak
it is too bad that they paved the the greatest hill climb in the world. This is a legacy video of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, this hill climb was done on a dirt course like a true Hillclimb should be.
The waste gate does not allow more than a set amount of pressure inside the system(ie 20 psi). When the turbo is spun,it will pressurize the system until 20 psi is reached and at that point,the waste gate opens releasing pressure so it does no exceed 20 psi. At sea level (14.7 psi) the turbo will supply 5.3 psi boost for a total 20 psi. At 10,000 ft (only 10.1 psi) the turbo will supply 9.9 psi boost so the system will still total to 20 psi..... Hope this helps... 500 words is not enough lol
This guy is my hero. People like him is why I won't slow down, and you'll NEVER catch me driving some bullshit crown vic. I want to be a badass grandpa
its a lot. i read it somewhere, the figure was big but cant remember exactly...if it starts with 900hp at the end it has something like 650-700hp. someone correct me if i am wrong
Good run dude and to all those people who said he sucks i would love to see your videos of you going up pikes in your own car but i doubt you guys have the balls to even try it so how about you all give him major props
WRC cars are not street legal but they get dispensation to drive on public roads between stages. Loeb is a freak of nature. Did you see him in the xgames recently? He ran a high HP modified version of his WRC Citroen in the rally cross event. THe commentators gave him no chance against Ken Block, Travis Pastrana and Taylor Faust etc. Loeb absolutely creamed them. They never got close. I not in his fan club or anything like that lol ....... im just impressed at what an immense talent he is.
i'd love to see walter röhrls legendary run in his audi sport quattro s1 pikes peak from 1987 with all that camera angels and where the track was completely gravel that would kick ass. as much as this run by the monster. plain awesome. kudos!
I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER EVER WANTED SO MUCH TO DRIVE! i would kill to drive in this stage even with bicycle! i hope petter solberg drifts the whole track while going all out breaking the record!!! i am considering going there from greece to see that!!!!
From Wikipedia lol: A race car with some panels intended to resemble the SX4 called the 'Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special' with a special 910 hp (679 kW; 923 PS) engine was used at the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, with a record time of 9:51.278

Grand turismo 2 bought me here I will never forget this beast.
It puts every car to shame.
Me too. 2018 i still in love with that vehicule.
same here
this car was not even in gran turismo 2... GT2 had the Suzuki Escudo and Cultus pikes peak.
this car was not in the gt2 mano anymore this and nothing less than the Shield version but new mano that's why the class talks about it, for me the best car in the world

Far more exciting than Loeb's WR, all tarmac run.
Thank goodness I found this video, it gets better and better each time I watch it....Thank you Ninja Tajima for showing us how to drive!
In my opinion by completely paving Pikes Peak they have turned the most "unique" hill climb course in the world into "just" another tarmac hill climb......

So would you have a pikes peak hillclimb or no pikes peak at all???
there is no other tarmac rally in america only pikes peak and empire state performance rally. we need more tarmac rallies in NA
@MrWhitePerson THATS THE POINT!!! Leaving it half and half forced driver to find a setup that works in both situations. Now it all boring

yes!! me too hahahah
watching in 1080 bud. thx vm 4 this vid. That is pure adrenaline madness. Best p.p. vid i've seen thus far. Thx vm for posting. I would kill to simply ride along let alone drive that car.
I cant get over how powerful that car sounds.
This car was nutty enough on gran turismo. Thanks for uploading. Good video.
Let me clear something out. Loeb, one of the best wrc ever, did this pike peak on asphalt. Tajima did it on half dirt half asphalt. How did you guys ever compare those 2 runs ?

One of THEEE BEST VIDEOS ON UA-cam!
Tajima Rocks you go Buddy.
i never watched rally...now i play DIRT3(Suzuki sx4 HELL YEAH !!!) and i found that i fugggin' love this shit...mad respect to all these drivers !
It's amazing the car can even move while being weighed down by that driver's gigantic balls of steel.
yes but ecu have limits and most important the parts like Injectors size, flow,turbo air pressure specific tuned maps etc.
Race cars are tuned for very specific weather conditions one day at a time.
They will not install parts at sea level and tune them together to run at high altitude.
suzuki power forever
Perfection ... This video hits all the right spots.
I've been up pikes peak many times. It's a white knuckle drive at 25mph towards the top . I couldn't imagine it at those speeds... :P
Ok
i thought ecu was programmed with limits in its ability to adapt the AFR.
Here i see all diesel to smoke in the mountains and all gas engines smell strong
About parts : is a set of injector can handle so big differences between top and bottom of the race ?
Maybe there are two on the engine ?
The turbo pressure is electronically controlled by the ecu ?
165 people drive on Bridgestone tires.
congratulations 2011.... Monster has done it now... 9:51, a new record! nice driving
My ears are popping just from looking at it.
This was a blast to watch. However, I would prefer it to have fewer camera changes. Don't get me wrong, it's great seeing it from all of the perspectives, but changing views every couple of seconds was a little bit annoying some of the times.
I don't even know that Suzuki engines can be tuned this far. Incredible. I'm a new fan
I remember jus putting weight on the gas pedal in the endurance oval race track on gt2 and winning lots of free money bc of this car
+TexasRepresent But in GT2 was Escudo, not SX4 :)
+Pierun Rajdowiec well u know what I meant lol
ridiculous fast! huge respect at the driver. great job!!!
first off there was no dirt when Loeb ran in 2013 did u not know that smart guy
It was a spectacular performance. I just think the race was so much better when it was all dirt and there were no guard rails. That's when the Unser family dominated it, having learned to drive on empty dirt roads in New Mexico.
Will anyone EVER be able to break Loeb's record? Maybe only Tajima can do it, but he will need a dead-dead serious machine to do it.
I have driven this road several times, it is even more scary than it looks. Those rain clouds actually dump hail instead of rain and can cover the road with six inches of snow in a matter of minutes. Imagine trying to drive down in that.
Escudo Pikes Peak Pls
+Javi Glavich The Pikes Peak Escudo(That one from Gran Turismo 2 and beyond) was from 1996, that's too old.
did they add more assfualt at the top of the mountion because i saw a video of a audi s1 and it was all dirt at the top????
Please put this track in gran turismo. Thanks!
mods
Where is this ?......you guys should try isle of man TT it also has some great on board footage like this ..........
R.I.P bug at 6:36
Where can I get that rear spoiler? I need it for my -94 suzuki swift, since I'm always late from work and my boss said that I need to get some grip.
Loeb Was to scared to Challenge The Monster
Is it possible to build a car for this kind of event that would use a special gasoline or mount another (bigger) air inhaust that would provide needed amount of air ?
Drifting with a purpose.
Sorry to tell you, it is all paved now. Still a blast to watch
I'd say you need bigger balls to stand and watch him drive and hope he doesn't hit you
The Last King. Imagine that thing getting airborne and hitting you at 140. Your heads flying a minimum of 500 feet.
does the track still have some ground parts ? Or it's all asphalt now ?
Holy shit
Sick precision at 2:04! Monster is Monster!
Has the Bowler Wildcat ever set a time on the Pikes Peak hillclimb? Bet that would be quite fast, not as fast as this maybe, granted, but still pretty quick?
This is awesome, I miss the dirt in this race.
Ok
Thank you.
Fabulous ride with the monster!
live in the springs can't wait for this year!!!
i dont care for suzuki's as a consumer car manufacturer but man they make one hell of a hillclimb car this thing is a beast
how much horsepower is lost from the bottom to the top?
What a car!... What a driver!!
My heart just about stopped at 8:22 when the camera picked off the pylon!!
i might sound very ignorant asking this, but do they have co-drivers?
I would like to know what part of this car is still a SX4
I was at Cove Creek in 2010, and again in 2011. I've watched from up at Devil's Playground three times (1995, 2000, and 2002).
I would like to point you to the rig that Nobuhiro raced in '89...
Maybe the record for oldest person to set a record in Pikes Peak will stay with Tajima forever, i can't imagine Rhys Millen or Loeb or other driver to have the record against younger drivers, maybe the same for Mouton the only woman to set a record in Pikes Peak
Anyone know how much power this was producing by the time it got to the top?
The Group B cars where and still are some of the most amazing machines to grace the WRC or any racing fore that matter
How did the engine fair after all this stress?
Why does it have a book shelf on the front?
@mokiprop Yes they do, but the impact is lessened with force induction.
it is too bad that they paved the the greatest hill climb in the world. This is a legacy video of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, this hill climb was done on a dirt course like a true Hillclimb should be.
whats the motor used in this track?
Does anyone know the displacement of that motor?
how do you train for something like this
The waste gate does not allow more than a set amount of pressure inside the system(ie 20 psi). When the turbo is spun,it will pressurize the system until 20 psi is reached and at that point,the waste gate opens releasing pressure so it does no exceed 20 psi. At sea level (14.7 psi) the turbo will supply 5.3 psi boost for a total 20 psi. At 10,000 ft (only 10.1 psi) the turbo will supply 9.9 psi boost so the system will still total to 20 psi..... Hope this helps... 500 words is not enough lol
Does anyone know if and how much a cars performance suffers at altitude due to thinner air?
its something like for every 1000 feet above sea level you lose 1-2% of your horsepower
you post this on the video the man who broke the 10 minute barrier up Pikes peak... and won it... at 60 years of age... yeeeaaahhh.
the audio on this vid is amazing!
For something that's 10 years old I can agree lol
'monster' is a legend in his own right
This guy is my hero. People like him is why I won't slow down, and you'll NEVER catch me driving some bullshit crown vic. I want to be a badass grandpa
Hate that hairpin sequence at 7:00, never could manage it properly.
Are they done paving the whole course yet?
its a lot. i read it somewhere, the figure was big but cant remember exactly...if it starts with 900hp at the end it has something like 650-700hp. someone correct me if i am wrong
Good run dude and to all those people who said he sucks i would love to see your videos of you going up pikes in your own car but i doubt you guys have the balls to even try it so how about you all give him major props
8:44 a spectator flipping off the camera??? Is that what is blurred out?
@doomasL isnt the car a Suzuki tho?
Is sooo good quality video editing that it seems a videogame, instead is only the reality..
even the almighty one is peering through the clouds cheering him on. Go Tajima!!!
That car is a monster of peace!
@Mawerik024 And it's a good line?
That was satisfactorily to watch for some reason.
Gott ? höchstens ein alten Sack -grins- Seb hat den Pendel dorthin gebracht wo er gehört... Einfach nur der Beste :p
So it's at sea level
Thank you
the old truck camper on the hairpin was awesome
Hey Does anybody know what Editing Software Was Used?
@ 01:29, have you noticed those 2 men on the grass ?
awesome man, friend and i are going to the 2012 event im pumped!
WRC cars are not street legal but they get dispensation to drive on public roads between stages. Loeb is a freak of nature. Did you see him in the xgames recently? He ran a high HP modified version of his WRC Citroen in the rally cross event. THe commentators gave him no chance against Ken Block, Travis Pastrana and Taylor Faust etc. Loeb absolutely creamed them. They never got close. I not in his fan club or anything like that lol ....... im just impressed at what an immense talent he is.
I wonder how much power the engine looses at that altitude?
I wish to be a passenger on that rollercoaster. Best thrill race yet.
How can he work the pedals with balls that size?
i'd love to see walter röhrls legendary run in his audi sport quattro s1 pikes peak from 1987 with all that camera angels and where the track was completely gravel
that would kick ass. as much as this run by the monster. plain awesome. kudos!
Track on dirt 1 is just a bit diferent in the last part, but damn...the more i see this, the more i love it!!!!
I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER EVER WANTED SO MUCH TO DRIVE!
i would kill to drive in this stage even with bicycle! i hope petter solberg drifts the whole track while going all out breaking the record!!! i am considering going there from greece to see that!!!!
From Wikipedia lol: A race car with some panels intended to resemble the SX4 called the 'Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special' with a special 910 hp (679 kW; 923 PS) engine was used at the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, with a record time of 9:51.278
So this is basically the new escudo?
