[video] Ken Block's Climbkhana: Pikes Peak featuring the Hoonicorn V2

[Arthur]

Witness man versus mountain: 14,000 ft vs Block's 1,400-horsepower twin-turbo methanol fueled 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V2. In classic Block-fashion, his all-wheel-drive Mustang hangs along the razor edge of the legendary Pikes Peak hill climb.

Entertaining as ever Shame he really couldn't be bothered to put the effort into rallying, he could have grown into a good driver.

It didn't have the same 'wow' as his Gymkhana videos, I think he could of shown the car off more.

Think he was a bit restrained since a 1400HP car and the big drops could have caused a bit of an issue for him.

Yeah I get the drops but there were parts where he did bits with a large space but just seemed to do one or two drifts then moved on.

Nice tribute to Ari Vatanen at 4:00.

 

If you haven't seen

, it's well worth a watch.

@ZeroHour and I went up there a few years back after doing a show in Denver. It's a hell of a climb and we didn't spend long at the top due to the oxygen (lack of) not agreeing with me.

It's a hell of a view from the top but you can't go from sea level to those altitudes in a week without not feeling it!

The road up is great and it's about a 20 mile drive up which we did in a rental SUV (small one) which made disturbing noises when you tried to accelerate!

IIRC, the last few miles were unpaved as they were in the process of laying the tarmac all the way to the summit car park.
