Pikes Peak 2012

Great news, my buddy Mitch Pederson is the guy that helped me tune my car is now the tuner of the worlds fastest car up the hill…

Rhys Millen has brought the overall Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record back to his family. He did it with his Formula Drift Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which was entered into the Time Attack class. 9:46.16

Now if we could get him into a Lotus… :smiley:

That’s great news Frank!

Is is true that there’s plans to pave the mountain all the way to the very top, so that there’s no loose surface left whatsoever on the climb? Or have they already done it?

Was already done… The winning V8 Hyundai is only RWD…

WOW, that’s pretty cool!!

Woops

Close up - check the cage deflection, doing it’s job though:

not much left of that! is he ok?

Scary stuff, i’ve just seen the video on youtube

Both driver and co-driver ok

Jesus!! That has got to have been a brown pants moment.
