Yesterday I recieved a video of an Audi RS8 doing a hillclimb. The most intense driving and sound I've ever heard/ seen. How do I post it on here? You guys will love it.

You will need to put in up on YouTube or something similar and put a link to it here.

They have this new thing now called "YouTube", a site the specializes in hosting video. It is totally free, and you can put a link to your video here. Heck, upload all the videos you've got, someone will want to see them.

If Ken Block drove that he could do doughnuts around a clown on a pogo stick, in reverse. While wearing a flat brimmed hat.

Ok, that may not be an RS8 (duh) but it's effing fast and so is whoever's driving it.

Here's a good YouTube link:

Click on the "See All Comments" link and check the second entry from a year ago; it offers some evidence of the car, driver and location:

This clip is one on my absolute favorites! I love how the driver attacks the road immediately but cold tires are an obvious issue. At least until they warm-up and then he smoothes-out his lines and goes ever faster.
A driving-enthusiast's version of internet porn - FTW!

Thanks oldsaw!
In looking through the comments, I saw a link to this Pikes Peak video. Pretty cool too.

~wow~
In September my wife and I drove from Rapallo to the Cinque Terre on a road called the Via Aurelia. We had at our disposal only a Renault Clio, but it was at least the "RipCurl" edition with some sweet "California surfer type vinyl graphics" on the deck lid.
The road is not unlike that in the video posted above. Probably in either the Pyranees or the Alps in France or Italy. We finally got off the V.A. and onto the Autoroute after an hour or so 'cause I'd just run out of mental capacity to attack an unfamiliar, incredibly technical road, uphill in a tiny weedy diesel car for that long.
Here's video of the first 2 minutes 'til we caught up a bus.

A couple days earlier we were behind a guy in a Fiat Panda in the hills outside of Florence on the way South. I followed him for at least half an hour, and it was everything I could do to keep up, and he was on the textbook racing line the whole time.
If you like to drive or ride anything with wheels, Italy is mecca, no kidding.

Woah, also check out the Mercedes run in the next video suggested after the one mentioned here. I much prefer the 3rd person stance vs the over the shoulder view...reminds me of replay mode in Gran Tourismo

I'm not sure if this is the Mercedes video you referenced, but the engine noise in this clip is absolutely insane. A "Judd V8" according to the title.

This BMW clip mentions a Judd motor as well.

Wow.
