Whether you are old enough to remember him or too young not to, just watch this in-car of him taking on the fastest and scariest hill climb in the world.

The line "when your high, you never wanna go down" was very apt for that certain piece of film

Just before the top when you get the overview and you see the DROP behind the car.

Made my stomach contract and I was only watching the video.

Absolute belief in his own ability!!

Top find!

I was privileged to see the guy in the 80's on quite a few rally's and other top driver's of the time in their Group B rally cars. Nice video.

I agree - seeing Bjorn Waldegard flat out through a Welsh stage back in the seventies in a Stratos (minus the rear bodywork) was totaly mind-blowing in a bloody difficult car to drive fast at the best of times, but when he was visibly twice as fast as anyone else - it was just awe inspiring and something you never forget.

Absolute classic. I always remember the bit at the end where he shades his eyes from the sun driving it one handed - going that quick when he cant see
