Pikes Peak 2013 - Red Bull coverage
 
Just came across this link:http://www.redbull.com/en/motorsport...nal-hill-climb

I'm not sure of the depth of coverage but Loeb's run in the Peugeot is guaranteed. :thumbsup:

They have said they will provide flag to flag coverage which will consume all of the day if they truly do that. If you want to tune in to speciifcs classes, you might check the Pikes Peak Hillclimb web site to see around what time you should tune in; http://www.ppihc.com/

Three days of practice are on the books for this years race and two cars are already toast.

Sebastien Loeb is leading the times in practice so far; http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/25/2...ractice-day-1/

Practice each day consists of running 3-5 miles sections starting at the bottom and working their way up so no one has run the entire course in their car this year. The asphalt is a big change and I expect we'll see new records in ever class. You can achieve higher grip on it, but it has also narrowed the racing surface considerably. Any attempt to drop a tire off the tarmac to initiate and hold a turn is going to result in a trip off the road.

Great find!

There's some unusual entries in PP this year. These guys have been on OLoA for several years and are very fast.

Honda and Hyundia drug out a whole menagerie of cars this year. They are all in for the asphalt assault. The unlimited and time attack classes are where most of these guys are headed. The van listed above is in the exhibition class.

Sed came and won. Set the new record 8.13 and chance. Rhys Millen drove his new record 9.02 ,mind blowing difference.

The King of the Peak

Just watched an interview whre he says that car has around 900Hp and 900Kg,

the reporter ask'd that is it difficult to remember al 156 turns, Sed looked at him litle funny and say: No!

and that he dont drive even near to he's limit, just wanted to break old record...

ou man that thing sounded wicked, time that he stays on one gear is just coupple seconds. Must be fast machine.

Viva la France!

I thought he'd handle that hill, especially now that's it's all tarmac. :thumbsup:
Personally I preferred the challenge of tarmac lower and dirt upper.
