Cool Pike's Peak record broken...



From Top Gear...

Suzuki's WRC boss and all-round hillclimbing legend Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima has broken the outright Pikes Peak record.

Driving a 1000bhp Suzuki XL7, Tajima finally broke the record he has been chasing for over a decade.

Monster's record-breaking run up Pikes Peak took 10 mins 1 sec - three seconds faster than the previous record set by Rod Millen in 1994.

But is Tajima happy? Well, yes, but now the man with cannonballs for testicles says he wants to return in 2008 to break the 10-minute barrier. Be afraid.

I drove up Pike's peak last year. I can't believe how fast these cars make it up.
