Pikes Peak 2013 - Red Bull coverage

[SuperB70]

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.
Personally I preferred the challenge of tarmac lower and dirt upper.

I dont know was it on tv but I watched at live.redbulltv

It was broadcast on the internet, not regular tv, and was not covered flag to flag like I originally thought.

Rain and snow did cause some delays during the day and I believe the red bull broadcast stopped right after the unlimited class, but I wasn't able to watch it all.

If there was no stop watch I would think its being shown in fast forward.

There is cool article in Racecar Engineering last month breaking down the car he ran for the record. Awesome piece. With 875Hp he sure dips into that power ever so slightly. But it sure has a ton of forward bite off the turns.
