So much better than the redbull vid, no over editing or fake camera shake. Just speedy driving up one of the best roads in the world.
I like this one!!!
I love the official red bull video. The editing was pure magic. I love this version as well, I don’t hate on it.
@@anthonyarango8838 I just don't like how they didn't give the camera angles more love and how they made the drone more shaky than it would ever be. There are some awesome parts but it's just a bit too much. It's still a good vid though!
Redbull content is for general public. This one's for us car people. Most people who watch redbull content won't watch over 4min of raw driving. p.s. I like this version more too!..
100% agree.
Very nice drive, glad it didn't end at 0:19
You are right...that was looking like he was fixing to inspect the contents of the ditch!
cold tires will get ya...
I am still hoping for a "TRUE" POV video from either the helmet cam or the top of the car ONLY. But thanks for posting this one.
something like this? czcams.com/video/MRcwvlf-JCo/video.html
@@markos8400 That was great!! Thanks for sending me the link. Would love to get to drive a course like that.
Big respect for Speed who has raced in so many championships, including F1, but imagine Loeb or Ogier going flat out on that road
I do hope to see a USA rally one day in the near future! TN or NY or Cali or Oregon would be sick
Loeb hasn’t raced Speed. But he has races Pastrana. They were the two finalists in Race of Champions one year. Speed has also raced against the Hansen brothers, and Pastrana has raced Johan Kristofferson. They are all too notch. Would Loeb beat Speed’s time? Probably. But you say it like they’re leagues apart. They aren’t.
@@StarlordStavanger I go to the New England Forest rally every year. I live about 30 minutes from Sunday River, if you need a place to stay let me know.
@@MikeySkywalker in rally stages they probably are leagues apart. Being fast isn't enough, you have to be concentrated on the co-driver and having faith to your skills to get the maximum. Raikkonen was fast as a rally driver but couldn't drive while listening the notes from the co-driver.
@@maza19 Pastrana has raced Loeb and they both had co-drivers. Actually come to think of it, Pastrana didn't have a co-driver because his got hurt. Loeb had one and they both made the finals. Loeb won. But Loeb is the GOAT. Either him or Seb Ogier. So obviously they're better. But it isn't leagues apart. Hell Pastrana beat McRae with co-drivers. McRae beat Loeb and Ogier.
I want to see this exact run again, only he *HAS* to stay in his own lane.. now that would be impressive
Blount Co. Could make so much money if they made this a rally stage!!
I love rally with a passion but this is in my backyard (NC). Honestly most people drive this road this fast when no one is looking anyway.
@@andrewallman3 Used to do it in my 79 bmw a few times a year when I lived in Blowing Rock
It's so good to see Scott behind the wheel doing his thing. He's my favorite driver!
Hauled over that stretch a few times, but never like that. It helps that Bubba isn't coming the other way in his pickup using the entire road too. Great vid.
The graphics in this game is amazing lol.
Come to Greece, From Psaxna, (it's just after Aidipsos Evoia) up until Prokopi. It's just 34km and 41 minutes long according to Google. This is after it was refurbished, also. And mind you, this is our major national road!
What a machine! What a machine!
This is the one I was waiting for!
That rear right angle is so good!
Nice speed and control
The whole 3:35 section sounds soooooooo goood man!!!
Go to the Back of the Dragon. It is a far more technical road than the Tail of the Dragon.
So much different than me trying to stay in my lane wondering if around the next turn there is a cop or motorcycle or truck but.... I LOVE that road.
Am In love ❤
Do the side things that cover the tire keep it clean and warm or is aero?
I bet KillBoy was still there to get pics. Haha
KillBoy was part of the film crew.
Still made from several different film segments, with some parts missing. But SOO much more authentic than the redbull vid.
But I do notice, there's not a leaf to be found in this vid
1:58 🎶
It's tougher when you have to maintain your lane :)
If you closed this road costing serious money would you run one lane nah. Full send! Also they probably didn’t wanna deal with copycats attempting this on the road when not closed
@@skunkworks__ yes why not isn’t🤣😂
He'd still run it faster than you
Not when you are limited by speed, and the law. At his pace its much harder to just stay out of the ditch. You got to figure, go watch an actual rally course run, they dont shoot for perfection and staying in the lines, out of the ditch, they actually race from ditch to ditch to ditch, as that is the fastest route, sideways. This particular road will not allow for that style of driving, so it by itself is another challenge, adjusting your driving style to fit the asphalt.
@@skunkworks__ They knew full well people did it before and will do it well after this. ToD is nothing new. Motorcycle youtubers have been making their living off JUST this road for decades now. Max Wrist comes to mind... does group rides with his fans specifically to cause accidents and wreck people.. then posts it to youtube.. seriously look it up. "max wrist intentionally crashes followers"
What's the outright record for this road?
Its not usually talked about much anymore since media has blown up the popularity (for tourists as well as law enforcement) which makes it harder to get away with, but iirc its somewhere in the sub 9 minute range. Also FYI this video probably only showed about half the road.
1000 times better than the redbull edit !!!
I’ve been wondering what Scott Speed was up to while the Subaru RX cars collect dust 😂
Nobody ever closes oncoming traffic for me :(
Hope my driving ranks at these levels if I had my Subaru wrx
Was the road shut down for this?
Absolutely! Didn't you see the cop cars at the end with their lights on?
Not really a true in-car version. Can we see the entire thing from the top of the car or from a fixed point inside the car?
👏❤
Would have been so much more fun if you were in your own lane. I know you had the whole road, but the turns are much harder when you can't cut them.
I feel that way too when flatout in my 90hp ej6 on the hillclimb on the wide road, but in my 120hp dc4 it's more fun going 120mph on a 50mph road than 100mph staying in one lane. Even more so doing 70mph in 25mph zone than 50mph one lane. Scott's sti is 600hp & weights >2K lbs, no room to really wind it out on such road if staying in one lane..
@@roninthereaper5701 The top speed of a 120HP dc4 is 108MPH, so you're full of shit.., unless it's a straight road, going downhill, that is miles long..
Why does every video need to have camera changes? All we want is one god dang POV.
.❤❤❤❤❤.
I wish they would close that road once a year and do timed runs like Pikes Peak. Then, the fastest car, bike keeps the trophy fr a year..or longer if nobody beats them in following years.
If you could organize enough sponsors and such, It could be a sanctioned event like Pike Peak or Climb to the Clouds. Would take LOTS of money though, and probably a few favors from some people in the states (as ToD spans through more then one state).
@@crisnmaryfam7344 Well, it appears that Red Bull got it done! lol!
@Valley Adventures Well, they no longer allow 18 wheelers on 129, so they found a way around. Why can't the other traffic go around for one weekend a year? I don't think it'll bring interstate commerce to a standstill if they shut it down for a weekend. Hell, Pigeon Forge shuts down the parkway each year for a damn parade! People get used to it!
Just triple box it and sync all 3 cameras
Racing through the Blaire Witch movie woods😂
Karl Yeki/Fourty Banks car x rally
Not taking anything away from Scott Speed, but I would love to see Ken Block slay The Dragon.
Unfortunately we'll never get to see that :(
All you need is an Elk to run in front of you and....
Weda dalam tubuh
Hes not following the yellow line rules!?
CHEROHALA SKYWAY, WAY MORE TWISTED.
I still don't get it. This is America's most dangerous road? This doesn't look any worse than the road through Logan Canyon in Utah, where I'm from. I guess I was just expecting something that looked a bit more treacherous, but this seems pretty normal compared to a lot of mountain roads out west.
It's the way the road curves horizontally, not so much how twisty it is.. combined with bad drivers.
Alot of people say that until they actually get on it.
The thing that makes it dangerous are all the bad drivers on it. There also used to be a time when semi-trucks could drive on it, but they obviously stopped that after one too many times of motorcyclists getting clipped by trailers.
Nurburgring of America...
Most twisted? Most Dangerous? Half the mountain and rural roads in California are like this.

@@hhaste 1000 foot drop offs over here. Yeah we always said southerns drive bad
WTF? Going over the yellow one is a direct ticket to Valhalla = this “hero” run is a joke. I’ve driven the Dragon and his approach is hardly a comparison to other video that kept between the mustard and the mayo.
"America's Most twisted Road"
*Laughs in everywhere else*
So where is "America's Most twisted Road" in such a short distant????
Wrc cars and drivers are Monsters against this… nice subaru but brakes to much!
no co-driver, 4th or 5th ever run of the road… with pace notes would’ve been wayyyyy different
@@CoyWhite right!
Try highway 60 between US interstate 77 and US interstate 64
really gonna compare that to the #2 ranked road in the world??? gtfoh
No
Good job ruining the video with the constant cuts in views. How annoying
if my math serves, his average speed was over 168mph. sweet jesus.
The math would add up however the video didnt cover near the entire length of the road.
hahahaha
Suspension to soft and too high
😂 it's a rally car. What do you expect? The airslayer hill climber?
@@VinRZ exactly that's why for tarmac you stiffen and lower suspension and you go faster mabey they don't know how to set up a rally car
@@bystander1489 Yeah Scott, the rallycross driver, surely knows less about setting up a rally car than you do. 🤡 🤡
@@bystander1489 pretty sure it ain't a time trial on deals gap. It's just a promotion video on their nitro x rally winning car. Yes you can lower the car stiffen the suspension, but then by that point it is not the rally car that they drive at nitro x anymore. At that point redbull and VSC should have just brought out the airslayer and send it there.
@@lordjaraxxus663 obviously not since that car set up is for gravel not tarmac and yes I do know
Looks completely fake. Is that some kind of simulation game?
No, this is just what a fast car look's like. I know it's a lot different than that 5.slow :)
#ararally 🤩
Again! This video would have been a lot better if they just left the helmet cam on and let the viewer see wha the driver was seeing. Fu(k all that cinematic bullsh!t.
Most twisted american road is less twisted than the average EU road. This is flat.
because it doesn't have potholes every 12 inches?????
@@austinearwood8243 Good one, no, the curves per 10 meters count on this road are nothing compared to european rally stages, plus its quite wide
Show me another 2 lane well paved road this good with no houses, businesses, or side roads for its entire length. That's why the dragon is so good. I haven't seen it anywhere else.
@@TeslaHaxz The claim is "the most twisted road" i wouldnt deny its a good road. Hardly twisted. And quite wide still.
This one has never been a rally stage. It is a public road where locals commute, and other local armature-racers trying to go fast when no one is watching. Professional equipment and driver and road closure made it look what seemed to you as flat.
