It's sooooo impressive how well these expensive engines run at such high elevations! I live in a high elevation area of the Colorado Rockies. Riding my carbureted bike around 10,000-14,200ft is an interesting experience, but soooo much fune. It's tuned for 7,000ft so the pops from the exhaust sound cool as hell with an fmf exhaust on her 😎🔥
@@shrgien8602 tuning/riding at 14,000ft sounds way different than at 500ft above sea level for carbureted engines. Wasn't talking about these fuel injected engines specifically, just general engine talk lol 🤷🏼♂️🍻🍻
It used to be worse. They built a new visitor center up on top, a few years ago I think. I ride motorcycles up/down piles peak alot and I shake my head at that exact spot you're talking about because they could have fixed that part during the time of building the new visitor center up on top 🤦🏼♂️
@@tropickman It is not sped up. Full time up was 9:04. He crosses the start near 0:49 and finishes near 9:53 which matches the the race timing. The frame rate seems a little slow so it may appear kind of choppy like a sped up video.
I don't know about y'all, but my heart is in my throat. Insane once you get about halfway up that mountain. Then the guardrails disappear and so do the mountainsides.
I find the bottom even more terrifying. Sure at the top you fall off the side of a mountain but your strapped into a car that can take such hits. At least you won't hit a tree and have a branch go through your head.
I'm just so happy to see Wolf Racing still at it, my all time favourite racing team. I still own 3 umbrellas from the F1 years, I make my girls use them, if they behave, sort of a prize ;)
Was the first time to watch this track by drivers perspective, not easy to drive, lower part is smooth, but the upper part is very bumpy, he even had a lot of wheel spin. Setup work under this conditions very difficult, too soft for the lower part but nearly too hard for the upper part. Track-mix reminds me a little bit on Nürburgring, but more sunny there😂. And of course, like always, in some corners you think "damned, I totally fucked up here" (f. e. around 2:00, corner apex not hit and wrong gear) but a good ride! Excellent!!
For those unaware of it, this Rookie of the year is Christian Merli, a five time FIA European Hillclimb Championship winner. His first foray at Pikes Peak has been impressive although somehow expected, given his skills. I bet that if he returns and the weather allows it, he will make the run in less than nine minutes.
man broke his steering wheel in the last part, at minute 10:07 is checking it an also you see how mutch the steering wheel is moving up and down also after minute 8:00. Crazy🤯
The steering column moves a lot in all directions at the end😲😲😲 La colonne de direction bouge enormément dans tous les sens à la fin😲😲😲 Alla fine il piantone dello sterzo si muove molto in tutte le direzioni😲😲😲
Insane performance and handling, not to mention the minimal distance it’s brakes require in order to come to an almost complete stop @ 2:38. Edit : I can’t get over how close together his hands are on that steering wheel.
yeah because when you accelerate out of hairpin it can cause more wheelspin, which you stop be either applying the throttle more gently or, and you guessed it, short shifting
Bom dia !!!!!!! Cara, que subida fantástica. Obrigado por nos levar de carona pra curtir essa Máquina e essa adrenalina. Muito bom mesmo. Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.
Ci vuol manico a correre a 200 all’ora su per una montagna con un proto rigido su delle strade sconnesse…e con un volante che va spasso…😅… bravo Cristian, sei troppo forte 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
so sketchy that! Wouldn't take much to spin the rear wheels on a bounce and set the backend around. With no guardrails that takes a lot of courage, to say the least!
I have to admit, I'm wondering how they'd tune their engines for the change in altitude. Highest I've climbed (walked really) is Mt Fuji in Japan. That's 3776m I think, not quite as high as this, and the air is thinner up that high.
you need serious stones just to get to the top in a normal passenger car. The sheer drops in the switchbacks on this make me ill just remembering my own trip up... just... wow
It must be so unnerving at the top of the run when you know drifting out towards the edge will give you a better line into the turn but you also know there’s a huge cliff waiting for you if you’re just a little TOO far out!!!😅
Not sure that little brake icon is properly calibrated, I'm guessing there was more than that show by a lot. That said, he did employ quite a bit of engine braking.
You don't know how aggressive carbon brakes are and how much it takes to actually apply 100% brake pressure. Not even F1 drivers do that and use "trail braking" instead.
Yeah I think the HUD is just wrong, there's no way he's not braking as hard as possible. They have to translate brake pressure values to a percentage, the conversion is probably just configured for a different car. Same with the RPM's, redline seems to be at around 6k.
sounds like considerable lag when he goes WOT until you hear the turbo boosting. It´s keeping the revs so low, ~4krpm out of the corners. I wonder how much time is lost between xhp requested and xhp received.

Yes, normally when mounted in a Volvo, it has a 48v electric supercharger that takes care of the low revs. The engines that Cyan racing uses, is the older generation with a mechanical roots blower.
Torque wins races hp sells motors It’s a 2.0 litre from Aurobay Usually used to power hybrid cars Very torquey I think direct injected Sadev gearbox Don’t know hp but I’d say 500 hp and probably 650 Nm
Comunque secondo me con quella macchina avrebbe anche potuto vincere, mi sembra bestiale... però giustamente se stai scalando le montagne e hai un precipizio a 10 cm di distanza non è facile portare la macchina al limite, io mi sarei cagato sotto e avrei fatto i tornanti ai 60km/h... quindi è stato bravissimo, complimenti, è come una vittoria! Se questo è l'inizio il primo posto non tarderà ad arrivare 💪
I love reading through these armchair comments like they know anything about the car, driver, or conditions of the event. "He's short shifting 😫" "This is sped up!!1!" "I can do better on my sim rig!" Like seriously shut the hell up you have no idea what you are talking about lol.
bore/stroke is 82/93.2mm so it´s a long stroke engine used in modern Volvo cars. It´s not built for high rpm high air flow but instead they use a lot of boost to get hp and torque. But it seems like there is some considerable lag considering the low rpm out of the corners.

Incredibly fast for a car with only 2.0 HP
indeed. not 2.1, not 1.8. Exactly 2.0 HP. Modern marvel! 🤣
That’s what I thought too. Saw a press release on this and it’s a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo with 380 hp. 🤨
@@woolybully02 It's probably super light as well. Looked like it was struggling with grip in a few places, even where there wasn't bumps.
The video is clearly sped up %1000
And sounds like he wasn’t even using all of the rev range too.
Great clear angle of the track, and very clean lines, this is a great video for learning Pike's Peak, thanks!
i agree !
it was sooo clean i almost got asleep after 4 minutes LMAO

9:09 the road was bumpy, he full throtle and reached 170+kmh , bro has balls
Must have been quite powerful to carry the 2 gigantic chunks of iron in the driver's seat.

Great drive as usual from merli but imagine him with his osella on pikes peak 🎉
That would be SCREAMING
Parti à 14h a l'age de 25 ans il est arrivé au sommet à 13h50 à 24 ans 😮
Une véritable fusé 😊
I was stationed at Ft Carson in the late 80s. Back then Pike's Peak had zero paved roads and no guardrails.
Cristian Merli complimenti 😊
Good run. I knew the weather would be perfect. Enjoy.
Great run, thanks.

Surface gets worse at near top of course ,heroic drive in any event !
Mighty impressive for 2.0 HP.
2.0 is referring to the displacement, not the power output
Did christians steering column come loose? that's crazy skill
Yes it did :)
Wow, this is crazy!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😮
What is more amazing was he achieved this with the parking brake engaged.
The steering column moves a lot in all directions at the end😲😲😲 La colonne de direction bouge enormément dans tous les sens à la fin😲😲😲 Alla fine il piantone dello sterzo si muove molto in tutte le direzioni😲😲😲

Bravo Christian!
The Bart Simpson sticker at the end there is a cherry on top, nice run
Good job @youtube suggested video. Probably because of Hill Climb Monsters and RobDahm as well.
That was great!

Amazing drive up the mountain
6-speed sequential straight-cut gearbox FTW :)
Short shifting like crazy out of every turn in the second half of the video

The ECU change the mix of air/fuel during the run.
Of course that required a fine tune.

Уровень мастерства НА ВЫСОТЕ
That loose steering column would have made me think twice about the car's preparation.
Seeing a lot of movement in your steering column towards the end of the run?
its wild how little of a brake slows the car down so much
Not sure that little brake icon is properly calibrated, I'm guessing there was more than that show by a lot. That said, he did employ quite a bit of engine braking.
@@PlaySA using the same logic he was never full on throttle either👳
what idiot goes full attack on pikes peak? @@davidcagle920

When i clicked the video i thought it was a formula 1 car 😂
This car feels like the Japanese Super Formula car its awesome
amazing road
Ok. I haven't paid any attention to Pikes Peak in years. When did they pave the top? That'll sure shorten the times.
It was fully paved in 2011
I’m sure he was annoyed when he got to the top and saw his timer wasn’t working 😂
Nr 1 Cristian 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful
Bravissimo 🤙
Wicked driving ! The inverted G-Force indicator was not enjoyable.
Some views on that drive
It's like watching a real hill climb car, but in slow motion.
wish they would bring back the motos
Cool drive
The last part looks very confy in this car😂😂.
Let me guess, did they adjust the shock absorbers on an Italian road?😂😂
Torque wins races hp sells motors
It’s a 2.0 litre from Aurobay
Usually used to power hybrid cars
Very torquey I think direct injected
Sadev gearbox
Don’t know hp but I’d say 500 hp and probably 650 Nm
does it not make power after 6 or why the short shifting? He shifts as soon as the first block of lights light up on the wheel.

Is it my imagination or is that road at the top extremely rough??? Wow the cajoles you have to pull that off!!!
Préfère ari Vatanen de 1988 !
Like after 80% of the lap did the steering wheel loosen because there seemed to be alot of horizontal movement 😮
Looks like an LMP3 had a baby with a formula 2 car

Looks like quite a bit of time is still in the car.
Buffff que pasada que gran piloto

nice diesel engine, 6k rpm, insane
I'm surprised it redlines at only 6000rpm. Or was he simply changing up early?

If i add a transmission to my 5.0hp lawnmower can it go this fast?
Whats up with the steering column? Is it normal to be that loose?
