Man breaks the 10 minute barrier without power steering what a hero

insane how they tried to stop her out of fear and she destroyed the record.

Michèle Mouton is such a cool driver; a racing legend!

I remember Monster, who always used an interpreter for interviews, falling off the mountain and hitting a big boulder, that stopped the car rather quickly. Asked about it by a camera crew (Speedvision/Speed iirc) he looked right into the camera and said "Love Big Rock!"

The only female driver to ever win pikes peak deserves a Netflix series

It's like SummoningSalt, but if he was obsessed with cars instead of retro video games. *Stands at attention for the Speedrunner's National Anthem*

I'm from Colorado and I was at the record breaking 7:57:148 event in 2018. The second best motorsport experience I've had in my life, behind seeing my first NASCAR weekend of races in person.

Really love the transition at the end going from Ken Block in the Hoonicorn to his daughter in the Hoonipegasus.

I feel it'll never be the same on pavement. That's why Ken Blocks drift on evo corner hits so hard. Him showing what pikes peak really used to be about. Dancing on the dirt curves of the mountain inches from defeat. I Wish I could have drove it on dirt. Still can't believe I convinced my wife to have our honeymoon on pikes peak. 😅

This channel is the classic example of "worth the wait". Welcome back!

The 1995 version of the race should be watched by every race enthusiast on the planet. Before they paved it....The Dallenbach brothers with indycars w/onboard and Leon in the Ford vs Unser in the Chevy Pickup etc... And ESPN did a great job. Pure magic!

Seeing the Saab at pikes peak towards the end made me happy that it got a little recognition.

Have you considered an episode featuring Michelle mouton and Sabine Schmitt? Phenomenal drivers

I made it to Pike Peak Hill Climb prior to it being fully paved. I think it was around 2006-2009ish. It was so awesome. I'll never forget it started to rain and about half way up an Impreza slid a bit too much around the corner and the back wheels were hanging off the mountain. He just floored it and the car pulled itself back up on the road and kept going! And the Escudo was amazing!

I'm in the 'Rod Millen's record is the real record' camp.

Michèle Mouton is such a cool driver; a racing legend!. I love your videos man, great vibe and excellent storytelling.

I can't believe that nobody is talking about the fact that the first guy to win had a f****g airplane motor swap.

Uncle Bobby was one of the greatest ever. I lived at an RV park near Firebird Raceway. Al Unser stayed there when he would visit Phoenix in his Newell Coach. Had a couple of great nights talking to him. Al insisted his brother was faster only because he was crazier and didn’t know better! True royalty of racing.

The Peugeot 405 clip is crazy to Watch, cool car too, I always wanted a 405 t16

always a good day when hunter uploads

I can only imagine the collective rage experienced by Americans upon hearing that the hillclimb record was beaten by a Frenchwoman in a German car... *On a wet track.*

I grew up on that mountain. I'm in the background of a lot of the 80's/90's footage on this video! There are a lot of unheard stories from that race. One of my favorites was that of the Vasholtz family. They were locals who owned an auto shop in town. It was awesome to see a local being consistently great on that hill.

@19:06 word has it he still has his hand out at the top of pikes peak waiting for that hand shake.. poor guy..

I had no idea, but am not surprised to learn, that Michele Mouton held the record for a year. Also, someone buy the Unsers a book of baby names or something... Bobby's son Robby was presumably only called that because they wouldn't let his dad call him "Bobby Jr. 2"

the suszuki escudo pikes peak was THE ride in GT2. properly setup ingame for the track it was absolutely stellar to drive, almost like a built in cheat. what a car. i remember smashing it through the corcscrew on laguna seca like theres no tomorrow. what a car ^^

I never heard of the Tank in 1919 climbing the mountain I just fucking love that

The opening track and the voiceover introduction can only mean one thing. SPEED RUN PIKES PEAK BOISSSSSSS LETS GOOOOO!!!!

12:25 And that's why Walter Rohl will always be the greatest rally driver to have ever existed

Always love it when the next episode of "Summoning Cars" gets posted. Nice work

Crazy that when Michèle Mouton starts destroying records, they try their best to oppress her, and no man has to deal with what she just faced, still, she prevails. 💪🔥 What a legend.

Remember Ari Vatanen 1987: "Our main problem is Walter Röhrl". His driving skills on 100% gravel with rhe Pikes Peak Audi S1 quattro are iconic forever.

He’s back!!

I grew up at the foot of Pikes Peak in “the Springs” and my family and I would routinely watch the Hill Climb each year. I’ll never forget watching Rod Millan in the yellow Celica.

19:05 that’s gotta hurt for the camera man 😂

Pikes peak is a monster of a race. Definitely one of those bucket list things that you at least want to see in person.

In 1990 I was on team Paul Rossi performance jeep Eagle talon and won the chief mechanics trophys for production and open classes one of the greatest accomplishments of my life!!!

Now this really feels like "Summoning Salt meets gasoline". Hunter's Moon... *I. LOVE. YOUR. CHANNEL.*

If you don't remember the Suzuki V6 ESCUDO Pikes Peak Special '98 from Gran Turismo on the PS1 you're dead to me 🚗💨

The one time I was lucky enough to see the hill climb on tv, I fell in love with the rig class. That stuff is insane

Ooh dis gon' be good... Still waiting for Pikes Peak to come to a modern Gran Turismo game since they said it was coming to GT 5...

That ken block footage hits hard man

Wake up babe. New hunter video just dropped

3:28 I love how Colorado just loves cannons on mountains

"bro i got an idea for a race" "Lets hear it" "So theres this mountain"

Once again you have absolutely knocked it out of the park with this video.. For me you are one the best content creators in thr platform.

Such an amazing documentary for a video! Just simple listening information without any of the fast hyper editing stuff. Just historical racing footage! I love it. But yeah for a race like Pikes Peak is something that is both fear and respect. Especially when it comes to all of the history surrounding it. And I tip my hat for all of the other drivers who dared to challenge the mighty hillclimb.

Lol, Walter too slow and needs advice? Don't think so, he just practices the way he wants. GOAT

yooo hes back!!!!!!!!!

I was just about to rewatch the last video but HE’S BACK!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Childhood memories....wondrous ...I was just a young boy when my dad drove us to the peak ...what a day 🙂

The 405 is a thing of beauty

When I thought he was gone, he comes back with his soothing voice and interesting as ever documentary. Gotta love this channel. One of the only channels where I will always watch a video from start to finish and will always crave for more. Keep at it. 👍

I was watching you yesterday wondering when you would post again!! Thanks!!

Leassgoooo! One of the topics I was waiting for. Tysm!!

Story about Pikes Peak from you is indeed a wonderful surprise and i love the way it was done. My suggestion for next hillclimb related video is driver who turned lots of people into fans of hillclimb racing and left huge mark in european hillclimb racing scene. Cars he built and raced with are also very fondly remembered and loved by fans.Driver i'm talking about is Georg Plasa.

Though it may not have ever been a contender for the overall record, hands down, my facorite Pikes Peak race car was the late, great Old Smokey F1. Whats not to love about a Cummins-powered 1949 Ford F1 pickup that could smash the mountain and take the diesel record away from purpose-built tube frame race cars?

FINALLY CULTUS GOT SOME RECOGNITION WOOOO!!!

This is extra fun to watch if you're from Colorado

U cant stay away for so long, u just made my day by uploading

hands down my fav. documentary channel. video idea: the story of lochnsx the nsx that was stolen and sunk to the bottom of the lake wich has been found around a year ago.. id love to see a full story

I'm astonished you're not getting 1m+ views every vid. This is amazing and engaging stuff.

I've always wondered what the Pikes Peak Hillclimb was about, ever since playing gran turismo and having a Hot Wheels Toyota Pikes Peak Tacoma toy back in the day, great video!

It’s a good day when there’s a Hunter’s Moon video

Hunters Moon, your content is absolutely brilliant, no pun intended. Every automotive enthusiast should watch your videos. It’s so enjoyable. Thanks from Australia 👍

When the world needed him most

I've waited for what seems like forever for your next video Hunter! So stoked it's about Pikes Peak! You make the most entertaining and rewatchable automotive hystory videos on thts platform!

Awesome video! The Wirtual music sprinkled throughout is the cherry on top!

And that racer's name, was Matt Turk. Love the Summoning Salt homage in the opening.

No way, it's Hunter's Moon! Thank you for the video, was waiting for it

I love your videos man, great vibe and excellent storytelling

Climb Dance has always a place in my heart, watched that movie so many times as a little kid and i still have it on one of my hard drives, great little movie!

Tajima got so unlucky so many times what a unit for coming back and doing it in his 60s

YOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOOOO

FINNNNALLLLYYYY 2 MONNTHHHHSSSSSS

I'm sorry but I can't think of anything else except for Dale Earnhardt when I hear that song at the beginning. EmpLemon really created a cult classic with that one

First off love the video i'm so glad I found it, secondly how could to not name drop one of the most iconic rally cars ever? The Audi Quattro! Definitely my favorite rally car to ever race

Great video, the s**t the organisers gave Michèle Mouton was frustrating but unsurprising, and I'm glad she smashed the record despite the setbacks and blatant sexism she faced. I legit cheered when you said Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima broke the 10 minute barrier, to do so despite mechanical failure and his age after years of trying is such an inspiring story, especially given the heartache Japan suffered just prior. I do think there should be separate categories for the record based on the road surface btw, so for pure gravel it goes to Millen, and then mixed gravel and tarmac gets it's own record and so on rather than treating all variants the same.

I just want to say that this video is incredibly well made

There's a part of the history of the Pikes Peak race that few know about, and that's the original mountain race that was famous before Pikes Peak that once it shut down everyone started going out to Pikes Peak to race. Starting in circa 1912 in Pennsylvania Carl Laemmle, the founder of Universal Pictures, and George Titlow, a friend of his and the owner of a posh Hotel in Uniontown Pennsylvania, which is at the base of the western face of the Appalachian Mountains, started the Summit Mountain race, like Pikes Peak it was a race from the bottom of the mountain to it's summit, which is named Summit Mountain. A little background first, at the time Uniontown Pennsylvania was home to more registered millionaire's per capita than anywhere else in the country thanks to the booming coal industry creating what was known in those days as Coal Barons, in 1892 George Titlow built the Titlow Hotel which at the time was the most luxurious hotel in the tri state area, Carl Laemmle used to stay there and befriended Titlow, the two of them were automobile enthusiasts and organized the Summit Mountain race, what made it famous was Carl Laemmle having film crews from his movie company film the race and show it around the world in movie theaters in between the early silent movies, by the 2nd year people were coming from all over the world including royalty from Europe to watch it it'd become so famous. However, in a fit of what can only be described as stupidity, after 3 or 4 year's the county father's worrying about the possibilities of someone being hurt or killed outlawed the race, the next year everyone started going out west to Pikes Peak to race. The story gets even better, after having their Summit Mountain race banned Laemmle and Titlow built a boardtrack at the bottom of the mountain that like the Summit Mountain race got to be famous from Laemmle showing clips from it in theaters, and like the Summit Mountain race the championship races at the Uniontown Speedway boardtrack attracted royalty from Europe and the richest people in America, however, after a bad accident where a car got away from a racer and down into the pits killing some mechanics the country father's outlawed the race and had the track taken down, afterwards everyone started going out to Indianapolis to watch the races at the new track built out there. You can see pictures of the boardtrack and read about it on it's Wikipedia page by Googling Uniontown Speedway including seeing the championship results from when it was open with the first one won by no other than Louis Chevrolet himself, Duesenberg's were the dominate champion cars the year's it was open.

This is a race that must be seen in person. Its wild to see a car speed by at 120 mph on a narrow road and whip around a curve up the hill. So rad

Also, fun fact: the Pikes Peak Hillclimb was actually on the IndyCar schedule in the 1950s and 60s (though its points-paying status varied). It was an unusual time in IndyCar history; from 1950 to 1960, the Indy 500 paid out F1 points.

I remember doing a complete pikes peak run on Dirt 1. I'm proud of it.

So glad I got to see this beautiful mountain track when it was all still dirt. 2001 my family took a roadtrip from NC to Colorado and back (I was 10 years old and a HUGE Gran Turismo fan). We rode a trolly to the top and they was qualifying that day. I already noticed how much colder it was and how hard it was to breath up top. But then I hear the most magical turbo sounds ever and see Monster and the red Suzuki Escudo come around the corner and stop. They were happy to let my dad and I get a picture besode the car. Still one of my favorite childhood memories ever.

I was at Glen Cove for one of the races in 95-96 and watched the Celica come around the bend below us with the rear tire kissing the edge of the drop off from the road. Wildest thing I ever got to see I was maybe 13-14 at the time.

LETS GOOO love this channel ❤️

Ahhh, pikes peak. One of the last forms of real racing out there today, no real regulations, only "if it passes safety, you can run it" and a absolute dream of mine to race it one day.

Driving up mountain roads is my passion. Thank you for the effort.

Michèle Mouton needs a film of her life story.

Storytelling great, music awesome, footage excellent, but did you have to butcher some pronouncations like that? peugeot and loeb should be easy to research on how to pronounce

Climb Dance changed me profoundly, such and amazing piece of filmography and driving

I can't quite explain it, but every time I watch your videos I just sit here smiling through them. Re-ignitng the childhood love affairs I had with the Gumball Rally and now Pikes Peak. Your narration is brilliant, and I just the footage of all these awesome cars tackling the hill. Great video.

Easily one of my favourite channels!! Thank you so much for the work you do, keep em coming!

Love your videos exploring these cultures. Your passion for cars and modding is amazing

Excellent history. If anyone hasn’t seen climb dance yet, watch it. Legendary!

Amazing video. I just drove up Pikes Peak for the first time a couple days ago. It really put these drivers into perspective.

"Unser" is "ours" or "our" in german, so thank you for the family tree @ 04:33, but I'm not sure we're related....

man, this was so good. Thanks for taking the time with all the details.

you know its going to be a good day when you get a new Hunter's Moon Video. I lived this video, Brilliant work

You remain my absolute favorite creator ever. Great work like always, thank you.

I like sim racing and it took me 1000kms of tries to beat 10 mins in a mostly stock R32 GT-R. Absolutely love this drive, very unforgiving with even small mistakes. (On the paved version)
