When @randypobstofficial accepted the invitation to drive the Pikes Peak Racing Nissan GT-R for Rob Brooks, he never expected to be flying off the mountain in the car. Fortunately Randy and the cameras survived.

Flying off the mountain would have been bad. Landing in the water would have been bad. Flying over the water but not off the mountain was as good as that one could get. What a crash.
Randy is one racer I have a lot of respect for as there is no sugar coating the man speaks his mind and tells it strait. I have watched a lot of his driving and my passion is F1 but I also like most track racing and I will say Randy seems to be a natural driver who has a lot of experience to back up his natural feel.
He looks like the guy who was on the donut formula drift team
Shut up
Almost any other spot would have been so much worse! Glad Randy is alright! Hero!
Can't tell from the video footage, but was he wearing a HANS during this? (I assume yes). If so that definitely helped him from getting hurt. A 1G forward hit like that is no joke on the neck
A lesser driver would have still been trying to make the car turn and would have rolled the car over. Making that crash straight took some insane awareness.
😮 I wouldn't have thought about that 😬
Yep, he knew the fuck up was already done and turning would have just made things worse.
Usually when you start to understeer after overcooking a corner the best way to slow down is wheels straight if you want to have the best chance at saving it. It would have been second nature to him but it still shows what an amazing driver Randy is.
@@seboest20 Good point! Much easier to slow a car that's got grip opposed to one sliding.
Watch the video closely. He does "continue the turn", but at that speed the car is understeering ("pushing"). He kept the wheel turned enough to keep the car straight. (with enough seat time, it becomes a reflex. I've had autox'ers yell at my shuffle steering - how do I know where the wheels are pointed?!? (a) mental image, and (b) I'm more concerned with where the car is going than where the wheel is pointed. The wheel on my track car wasn't put on straight (years ago now) and we ran a 16hr endurance race without noticing it, until I went to put it on the trailer - had to look out the window to get the car straight.)
[IMHO, the best way to condition that reflex is rallycross. Go where you never have any any grip to start with.]
“I was not responsible about my sleep” well here I am watching VinWiki at 4am so me neither Randy, me neither.
shortly past 3pm for me. Ok I'll hit standby NOW :)
8:28am after a eight our shift in a factory.
Randy is the best. He takes full responsibility. Omar would have a mile long list of people to blame.
Pfp is pig wheels?
I love Randys car stories! I could never afford any of his rides, nor qualify for them, but his youthful enthusiasm is golden!
Omar was such a fuckin clown.
Who's Omar
@@suicideslider hyperdrive dude brought an AMG to a drift competition and then when having to drift into objects, used his cardoor.
This is the car I spent 6 months building. We at PPR were so heartbroken but Randy did an excellent job and we couldn’t have asked for a better driver. Pikes peak is an unforgiving lady and will nite even the most seasoned drivers. For those wondering the car is fixed now and you can’t tell anything ever happened.
Sure buddy. I bet you did build it.
What was the extent of the damage?
Got any photos or videos?
I liked that you guys kept my center exit exhaust. My friend’s at BBi we’re at Pike’s texted me that they say my car there and sure enough it was you guys. BBi made the exhaust when I first bought the car in 2008.
@@theenzoferrari458 his channel has car stuff on it, proof enough for me. why do you kids always doubt others?
Randy Pobst is such a great story teller. I also love how he's humble enough to take the blame when he's wrong.
Humble*
Legend
@@William-Morey-Baker I'm humble enough to admit I used the wrong word
And a great driver
I love that hes a true racer too he isnt scared of the crash or the possibility of a crash. Hes scared of losing the race due to his own mistakes
Randy is like getting a talk from your dad when you are old enough to actually listen and appreciate his advice. Always great!
How can a man with such a decorated racing history and an incredible reputation from all corners of the industry still boast such a humble, likable personality? It should be illegal.
Randy is the 'friend' evenyone wishes they had.
That was definitely a crazy one. Glad Randy was ok!
A crazy one, but not the craziest.
How far did the evo fall tho?
It was an interesting crash. But is childsplay compared to actual crazy crashes on Pikes. Was a cool story though. But far from "the craziest" crash. Very very very very far.
Yeah...Mr. Foley and his Evo that now sits between two boulders in the PPIHC museum would like to have a word about “craziest”. Lol.
Kind of did the same thing back in the early 80's in a VW Rabbit. Road went right, I went strait, flew 114ft, luckily it was on Florida sand. Rabbits can fly
01 Galant gtz .. back country road, 25mph turn....100mph,barb wire fence, field kept it to the floor back thru fence Got out Kissed pavement Changed 1 flat and Made it home as Sun was Rising..to be Young and Dumb.. Now im Sore and Slow.lol
bansheemania 100mph, kinda reckless.
@@FishFind3000 That's the dumb part.
@@bansheemania1692...., lucky boy. Very lucky boy.
FishFind3000 well... yeah. Shhhh.
Randy’s laugh is so infectious that covid is quarantining itself from him.
Randy is a class act. I would let him drive my car off a mountain.
🤣
Me too, but my car's not fast enough to clear the white stripe at the edge of the road :(
this made me laugh out loud
Richard Hammond has entered the chat
Is there any chance we can get a Randy Pobst AMA for the next VinWiki subscriber milestone??
I wholeheartedly agree, with one stipulation. Christopher Michaels does the one after that. Deal?
I'd do that for sure, and we'd have a great time.
Ghost Ball : Dude! How cool is that? The Man himself.
Randy Pobst : Thank you for responding. I certainly look forward to it. Fun is an understatement in my opinion so, I hope it will be soon
I was expecting the Jeremy Foley evo
Me to tho
Yeah this isn’t even in the ballpark of “craziest”.
Was looking for Jeremy too 😄😄
775Supermoto Adventures exactly what i thought! i thought this was gonna be the evo crash too 😂
This channel's getting more and clickbaity, even taking randy and turning it into clickbait... Nearly over it
Randy's enthusiasm has always been so infectious. You can't help but smile as he laughs his way through stories. He's easily my favorite driver out there, and has been for years.
I could listen to him tell stories all day. Love his candor, honesty, and complete lack of ego. It's going to be fun watching him in the Freedom 500 this coming weekend.
Ed; We need more Randy Pobst stories. He's fun to listen to and tells a compelling tale. Thanks for bringing him to us.
Mr. Pobst tells the absolute best stories on Vinwiki! He's been in every cool vehicle, and he's just so down to earth. 👍
This is only the 2nd video of his that I've watched, and I've already learned so much.
Randy Pobst: "I don't get scared."
Roadkill: "Drive my junk..."
EFEZZE6280 Strange.
I remember hearing this story before and thinking it was insane. Very glad Randy was okay. Pikes peaks is bucket list, but it can bite so damm hard. If it can get Randy, it can get anyone!
Awesome story. I could listen to Randy all damn day.
VINwiki
thanks for bringing these awesome stories to us!
I saw a few by now and they are really well done
as a colorado native that now lives in hawaii, one of the only things i miss about co is the pikes peak race. everything about it has the makings for an epic day.
Who cares where you live?
Omar could have made that turn with his door open
Samir would have just wrecked the car
@@radude4763 Samir would crash into the start line.
Ed, go check out Jeremy Foley's Evo flying off the mountain. That's who you're looking for, no disrespect to Randy of course.
I ran into Randy the year he ran the mustang trans am. Dude is as legit humble as they come. Every bit of awesome that he gets to do he takes 100% advantage and appreciates it.
Randy is always good
All I could think of is the Fast and Furious reference (Cars don’t fly Dom)
Neither do Turkeys. #WKRPinCincinnati
But delorean do dumbass. Watch bttf. He even says where they are going they dont need *roads* fuck off loser.
Always awesome to watch randy race!
What class. Randy is such a great storyteller and such a good soul. Thanks for making this video!!!
That’s an AMAZING story...very glad you were ok Randy! Your the BEST! ❤️👍
Good sleep is so insanely important
What a wild experience for Randy!! Glad he was okay!
2 views. Last time I was this early, CarTrek was premiering. What a great dude Randy is! Thanks Ed for the content. Beautiful.
Randy Pobst is by far my favorite racing driver. He is super relatable and knows his stuff and also does a very good job of explaining things to where anybody can understand it. Just love the guy. Awesome story! Must be very humbling to be a very experienced driver to still have some mishaps every now and then.
When Randy Pobst speaks it always sounds like he is sitting on one of those vibrating massage chairs
And wheezy as all hell... that's all I hear is him breathing. Needs to quit smoking
Like a saner version of Scotty Kilmer. 😀
Love Randy. He is very down to Earth and approachable guy. Breaks things down so the average person can understand.
I would love to hear some stories from the guys who ran Pikes before it was paved.
What I love about Randy's stories that you can randomly pull ANY one-liner out of it and still makes a good intro for the video.
Such a humble guy, and great storyteller. Well done.
I drove Pikes Peak in a Dodge Caravan. It was still an amazing drive at normal speed. I bought a bumper sticker that said "I like it on top" in large letters, with Pikes Peak in small font underneath.
Randy has such great vantage points. His ability to narrate that story, keep all factors straight and still take responsibility is admirable. One of the best drivers out there!
Randy is an awesome driver and a down to earth car enthusiast. Love his stories.
Man, I remember seeing this on TH-cam when it first happened. Great to hear the story behind it.
Good video. Told the story well :). Always interested in pikes Peak stories
Legendary story told exceptionally well.
I doff my cap to you sir, glad you weren't injured.
“If in doubt, flat out!” -Colin McRae
One million percent not the craziest.
But coulda been! I got lucky lucky while failing majorly.
@@randypobstofficial you are very humble and a gentleman, something there are not enough of today. Cheers and good luck to you sir. Stay safe.
As someone who works on lodging at 9300 ft in the Rockies, effects of altitude is a constant conversation with guests during ski season. Even people who live here can be effected by it if they're sick, not eating well, or not sleeping well. I was nodding along with Randy as he listed all the adjustments they had to do to the car to account for altitude and I'm glad that he followed it up with the health effects, too.
We need this man on more videos! I like him!
Watch him talking about his 2020 run, in a Tesla 3. Good stuff.
Randy rules! I could watch his stories all day.
Flying off a mountain and Randy is sad for his friends that their car is broken.
That's how you know you trust the roll cage :D
I mean it was just a small bank into a bog, a little further up and there’s no roll cage in the world you’d trust.
I remember watching the motortrend vid on the car
Thx for that, Obese!
Great driver and story teller. Thanks!
Randy is fantastic always enjoy listening to him 👍
Randy is right, Pikes Peak was an amazing experience from start to finish. I hand built an electric motorcycle and fought all week to keep it running and win our class on race day Sunday in 2014. The 2am "races" up the mountain towing a trailer with a truck full of crew members on qualifying practice days was something not much talked about but an equally crazy adventure.
I miss the old days when it wasn't all paved. The Monster is legend of those days.
@@djwonderbrad The dirt was better, the pavement is much faster and raises the scare level.
Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea!! I’m glad Randy is ok.
Man I love randy pobst, he seems like such an awesome dude and an absolute best of all time list driver
Wow 557 comments and not 1 dislike this guy amazes me every video I love how he can be going 140 mph around a track and be able to have a normal conversation what an amazing person thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
A driving genius and so humble💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great story!
"...my definition of a bad handling car" lol 😂
Love Randy he is a stand up guy and a hell of a driver great story teller as well
I saw Randy on his way down the mountain last year, and was lucky enough to get a picture with him!
I saw him in the pits too!
The greatest celebrity I’ve ever met.
Probably the BEST place for an unintended high speed off road excursion at Pikes. One of my all time fav drivers. Great story teller, great explainer of his "seat of the pants" sensation and a superb driver. I raced MX for a few years, if you're not crashing you're not increasing your skill.
Randy is the shsnit !!! Love Randy stories, simply because his ego is in check. God Bless this channel. Gives me many hours of entertainment ❤❤❤

11:38 for the crash footage
One of my favorite drivers who can tell goood stories
This is such a huge moral boost for me right now. I recently crashed a car I love on a corner I've been through a million times. It was really late I was heading home after a drive with friends and just missed my braking point. I was sort of doubting whether it could be fixed, but seeing what they did with this GTR it's made me realise the damage isn't that bad. Stay positive about these things, learn, rebuild and move on!
I met Randy when he was running up Pikes Peak about 24 years ago. Super nice guy.
Best race I ever saw was the PPHC the last year before it was paved. Slept on the mountain at Devil's Playground, and I can attest: yes...you need O2 at that altitude.
One of my Favorite Drivers. Legend.
A great story! I'm glad Randy is ok or we wouldn't be able to hear his great stories.
Moved out here to run it a year ago and oxygen is key. Especially on bikes
That's a good pointer for even folks just driving their family car up to the summit...Wal-Mart out here sells canned Oxygen, reminds me of Spaceballs, everytime I'm in the Pharmacy section.
I've always wonder if he was using O2 during that race/incident. Great story, a lot of good details, and very nice analysis. I became friends with Austin while he was repairing the post-crash GTR. Great guy.
2 out of my 3 crashes in motorcycles have involved blind reducing radius turns.
Huge fan of Randy!
I met Randy in 2014 at the Houston Grand Prix when he drove for Volvo. He’s a really cool guy to talk to.
Randy Pobst, love you man.
"Flying through the air at 77mph"
No amount of braking can save you there. Scary thought. Glad nothing hurt him.
Well, at least he picked the right corner.
Randy has always reminded me of Astronaut John Young. Both have crazy amounts of experience in their respected fields. Both can very much put you in their shoes for any of their absolutely incredible feats of facing danger while having a blast and explaining it `every second of it.
Remember watching this happen now its narrated..... pretty awesome.
What an awesome story teller, made it feel like I was right there.
The mark of excellence. Proper wiper control during an incident 👌🏻
Great video
Always wanted to go to pikes peak!!!!
Me too. I found it is very expensive. I also want to run the Silver State Classic. www.sscc.us/ Not as expensive. Search for some videos. There are different top speed classes and an unlimited class.
I live in Colorado Springs and the drive in super beautiful. The hill climbs are amazing.
*" I don't get scared I get depressed "*
I love his honesty.
This is a perfect explanation of Pikes Peak week. The lack of sleep by race day hirts hurts.
This man stay surviving wrecks blessings with you mate
When he said sharp left and guardrail at first I thought he was gonna say he went off Evo corner. Things probably would’ve ended differently if that was the case
Randys such a classy, humble, talented guy..... and it turns out hes a great storyteller too.
I love Randy, how could you not.
I did the pikes peak on ATV. This was 2006 on 1988 Honda 250r that had a 310 kit. It was a lot of fun. It’s hard to start a 9k go to 15k feet high on a 2 stroke. It was a lot of work to get the jetting in carb.
He looks like the guy who was on the donut formula drift team
What a great guy! Could listen to him a lot gota see if he has a podcast! Hey Randy get a podcast It’d be awesome!
Good insights. The oxygen angle is important. I have been involved with a Dakar rally team and we used oxygen even on liaison stages at 5000 metres. Tiredness will get you. It is an issue in Dakar with all the noise at night with people fixing cars and the next morning you may have to do a monster 500 km stage.
Sounds like “Methinks thou doth protest too much”
Truly love the man's energy
