that video of Ari Vatanan is insane especially the pasts where he has to taake one hand off the wheel to shade his eyes from the sun glare.

Rohrl will be at Pikes Peak this July to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his win in the quattro.
Audi Club North America 2012 Pikes Peak
A couple of friends and I will be following Walter up the mountain in our rally quattros on a 'parade' run for Audi sometime during the weekend. It is unclear how fast Walter drives in 'parades' .... I'm hoping for something similar to the Rennsport Reunion 'parade laps'
Sounds very cool Curt. Have you ever been to Pikes Peak before for the races? Looks insane. One screw up and you are in a world of hurt. I wonder how many cars go over the edge? I never have heard of any bad accidents there.

Have not been there, but it appears less severe than Mt. Washington. The main goal will be to not become 'that guy' (i.e. that guy that rammed into the back of Rohrl, that guy that went off the edge trying to catch Rohrl, etc.) Of course it's all paved now, taking much of the fun away.
I have never been able to find a good video of Rohrl at Pikes Peak. All of them seem to have poor video quality. Most are in German.
