Driving up and down Pikes Peak will pucker your butt.


I would like to see a race on Going to the Sun Road up to Logan’s Pass.

There are 156 turns in this race. I would imagine it's pretty easy to lose where you are while going up the mountain.


It is a bit like the Nordschleife in that a lot of places feel and look redundant and easy to lose your "place," especially if you have a moment and are still in the process of locking back in.

If he would have watched Cars as a kid he would have made that curve.

Doesn’t look like he was the first one that didn’t know about the curve. That patch where he landed looked like an ideal spot to crash.

They probably should have made sure this wasn’t his first time driving a race car.

according to him, he thought he was further up the course where the left turn was flat out. That's crazy


I think Randy Probst crashed a car a couple or 5 yrs ago with getting lost on the course. It was to the inside so not as dramatic.

I think Jeremy Foley is the guy's name who sent that BMW off the side to about a hundred foot drop before it impacted. Really pretty incredible how hard a hit those cars can take and for the most part folks are ok. Some exceptions in there.
