Here is the write-up from the site:
This award winning short film documents Ari Vatanen's record-breaking run at
the 1988 annual Pike's Peak Hill Climb Event in Colorado. The film was created
by Jean Louis Mourey and captures Vatanen climbing Pike's Peak in a four wheel
drive, four wheel steer Peugeot 405 T16. Watch the world famous rally legend
rip through hairpins and glide past sheer cliffs at 14,000 foot elevation from
cameras inside, in front, underneath and above the car. This is by far some of
the most spectacular and nerve bending race car footage ever recorded. The film
has since become one of the most watched and talked about car films ever, right
up there with the French cult classic "Rendezvous".
