    The fact he was unable to down shift on much of the course, almost to the point of stalling, and yet to still win is testament to the rest of the car, and Robins skill as a driver. Great achievement!

      @@crabapple1974 No. I watched the steering wheel the whole time, gears go down when he shifts down, throughout the course.
      That sound u hear, like the gearbox is going to fall apart, is actually the unburned fuel from lifting off the throttle, combusting in the exhaust pipes.
      In some other instances, his revs drop low, or low for that engine at least, and that may seem as if he was stuck in a higher gear than he should be in, but hes not; those were his driving errors, and that's what he meant when he said it was a "messy run"! The car was just fine, take another look...

    There were some parts of your run that scared the hell out of me just watching it! I was wondering why it sounded like the Wolf was choking during some of the turns, now I know. You, your car and your crew are amazing to manage a win without being able to down shift. I put Tri-Y headers, Gibson performance exhaust and a cold air intake on my 2001 Tacoma, 3.4 liter 4x4 Xtra cab truck to improve performance and fuel economy. I always drive it in it's optimal power range which of course means down shifting as needed. So for the Wolf to push through without running in its power range at crucial moments is just mind blowing. Well done! I loved this video!

      I went last year, 100th anniversary and Ken Block was supposed to run his brand new Porsche built specifically for Pike's Peak, the Hoonipigasus. His car had problems and he didn't race that day, and it was like 200ft visibility and below freezing with on and off rain. One of the drivers went off course and it took over 10 minutes before anyone even realized because he hadn't made it to the next checkpoint. Very disappointing, especially considering Block's fate earlier this year.

    I've driven it twice in: 93 Toyota 4x4 and an 18 Mustang GT. Both times it gave me the willies on some of those corners and edges where it looks like it drops of the world! At the hair raising speed of 25 mph, I couldn't help gripping the steering wheel way harder than needed. Even watching the video I got a little tingly!

    I wonder what it feels like to do all this. Catching a glimpse of a helicopter following you in the corner of your eye, the pressure of this being the only shot till next year, the forces the car puts on you for the duration, the lack of oxygen etc

    Drove this road on June 17th, 2023 and it was closed above 13,000ft, due to snow. We got stopped and turned around by park rangers at a small parking lot at 4:01 on the video.
    While turning around it started snowing so hard that we had 4” on the hood by the time we got back to the reservoir and had to follow a snow plow the rest of the way.
    Crazy how much the weather there can swing in 11 days…or in 15 min.

    That was an impressive wild ride. Well done. It was interesting to see how the elevation affected the turbo so much, and how long it took for the boost to build, and how violent it was when it did. Could see how you were working hard to maintain boost.

    • @thesendyclub
      @thesendyclub  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      transmission wouldn't downshift at 1:15.
      crackling sound is the antilag popping off

  • @jlow4544
    @jlow4544 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Glad to see that it wasn't even a clean run. A few parts where the engine was bogging out, a few sections (like Devil's Playground) where because of public safety he could've push harder, and other section where he was being a bit conservative. So I'm sure he's looking forward to future runs with this rocket ship! Congratulations Robin!

      Take a look at which gear he is in from the dashboard display. Medium-fast corners might be in 3rd gear, slow corners in 2nd and first gear for really tight hairpins. You can see a couple of hairpins where the display shows 3 or even 4 mid-corner.
