Mark Higgins, Isle of Man record, David Higgins at Pike’s Peak

June 24, 2011

The Isle of Man TT is a well known and unique motorcycle race. But this time it’s in a car and the driver is Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins.
The video is pretty amazing; jump at 2:15 and recap of where he almost “loses it” from 4:00 till the end. The video shows in-car driver at the controls, as well as overhead helicopter view during the fish-tailing; quite a good save. He hits 160mph in several places. Higgins’ average speed for the course is 115mph over the span of around the 19 minute 37 second lap. That’s not just amazing, it’s beyond amazing. Watch the video below. There is a special note at the beginning that the speed of the video has not been edited. It’s as fast as it looks…in fact probably faster if you are actually in the car.

ouch, Indy 500 driver in 1st place hits wall in final lap, keeps going

June 23, 2011

(This was a few weeks ago, but I didn’t watch the race, so I just found it on the internet today).

The bad: he went off the line, ended up on a dirty part of the track and lost grip, hitting the wall
The good: he managed to keep moving and steering with 2 functioning wheels, foot on the gas the whole way.

JR Hildebrand crashes in the final turn and Dan Wheldon takes the win:
