I know its not a 350z, or even a Nissan, but I figured since we are all enthusiasts of fast cars, that this vid posting would be welcome.

Made me smile

Great vid. I love watching hill climb style events. What audi is it...an LM prototype? The raw acceleration and braking ability that car has is awesome.

As an avid fan of hill climbs and rally racing, the in-car cam gives an awesome perspective.

I especially like the Pikes Peak events with the huge vertical drops if you go off-track. Being able to push a vehicle as hard those guys do, all the while knowing one wrong move and your looking at potential 600+feet drop is mind blowing. Especially concidering that most of the track is a narrow dirt road.

Kinda weird how he play's with the throttle while he's taking some of those corners, sound's like some kinda sharp imputs to me. Love the time in gears,....dang.

OK, I was wrong yet again. It's not even an Audi. The driver's name is Alain Castellana (he's French). The car is a 3 liter BMW powered Norma. The course is Gemenos La Baume in France. It's one stop on the French hillclimb championship. He won his class in the 2005 championship. Since the original link doesn't work, I tracked down another source:
http://testudladry.free.fr/jcc_video...castellana.wmv

Here he is at La Pommeraya:

And another at Bagnols-Sabran:

Here's a video of Lionel Regal at La Mount Ventoux:
