Lifting is not an option! Amazing hillclimb attack by Swedish hero in a SAAB with engine trouble.

Click CC for english subs! Swede Ola Strömberg is well known for his balls out driving style in his turbo SAAB 99. In this hillclimb event, his engine blew in practice, and they swapped it over night. For some unknown reason the new engine ran way too rich, and the only way to make it to the top was to not lift. At all. EVER! The contrast between the balls out attack and the ridiculously calm voice of Ola over the intercom is hilarious! What a hero! From Vårdkasloppet in 1983. Tons of big names on the entry list, such as: Ola Strömberg Leif Asterhag Hasse Hansson Sten-Erik Eriksson Stig Blomqvist Per Eklund Anders Kulläng Sören Nilsson Bror Danielsson Erik Johansson Björn "Nalle" Johansson Ingvar Carlsson Bengt Ottoson Lennart Björk Gunnar Pettersson Morgan Carlsson Lars Högström Göran Andersson Original upload by https://www.youtube.com/user/MrReRacer
