This is a great video that was filmed in 1990.  Its Pikes Peak Hill Climb
and
it will give you some appreciation for that event and the skill of there
drivers.

I wonder why a video game was never made of this.

Enjoy.

Very nice footage indeed - a must see for RBR drivers :-)

Is that the Climb Dance film- Ari Vatenen in the Peugeot?
There's a good quality version of that on "The world's greatest rally
cars" dvd.

GT2 did a bit of the hill climb track, but it lacked the insane drops
outside the turns.

climb dance is magic... the whistle and pop, then the slithering of
gravel as he slides closer and closer to the massive drops, and then
some more whistle and pop out... :)

Amazing stuff. These guys have to have major cajones. They must be
repeating to themselves over and over through the whole run "Stay to the
inside, stay to the inside" ;-)

Rallisport Challenge 2 (XBox) has some hillclimb tracks, which are quite
fun, but not Pike's Peak unfortunately.

Very cool!  I'd love to see (and hear) some footage of the Suzuki Escudo
but this Peugeot looks quite similar.

He's not dead, he lives in southern France and has just been elected to  
the european parliament on the right party here.

And Ari competed in the 2004 Dakar rally, for the Nissan factory team if I'm
not mistaken...
In fact I believe he'll also do the 2005 Dakar this January!

I know he is not dead

I've met the guy in Quebec, Canada once at a ice racing event.
