Pikes Peak 2011

I've just searched for any threads on Pikes Peak and seem to have come up empty, what gives?!

This weekend is a busy weekend for motorsport, yet Pikes Peak is right up there on my "make time to watch it" list. Only trouble is I can't find anywhere online video streaming it. Anyone got any ideas?

If you've never heard of it, shame on you! Here are two videos explaining why you should go find out some more

Unfortunately, like the 'Ring 24 hours, its only big in the country it is in.

If only the coverage was that good

I've got a German video feed of N24 up on my PC now with Radio Le Mans audio playing over the top :cool:

It seems odd that it has such world appeal to drivers but very little coverage, even in the US. Here's hoping someone does a highlights show, but failing that I'll just watch the hundreds of YouTube clips its bound to spawn

Look for the V=7rVdS8Qnvb8 part of the URL, copy the code after v= with youtube (spelt correctly, without the spaces!) in brackets either side. Like this:

Should give this

That guy had a lucky escape, as did Bill Caswell in practice

Just watched the record lap. Health and safety have really killed pikes peak. Near enough all tarmac.

End of an era

Supposed to be 100% tar next year.... :mad:
