Pikes Peak Hill Climb 2018 - Romain Dumas / Volkswagen I.D. R PP Record [Helicopter/Spectator Views]

[@mikestabile0526]

for the curious- electric cars on PP must have sirens (minimum of 120db) so people and animals can hear them coming

[@idbestshutup]

[@whatsnewonthemountain]

I was standing just before the start line and was absolutely struck by the speed and lack of sound. It reminded me of seeing a Waco biplane with a jet engine doing an air show routine at the Reno air races. The sound didn’t match what I was witnessing. The VW pit set up was also extremely well done. Clear heated tents for the car and crew so the spectators could see, hospitality tent for the VIPs, truck covers with the VW logo to put over the U-haul rental trucks used for parts and equipment. Very impressive and top shelf to be sure.

[@robsteries]

[@lupuscutis]

The Stanley Steamer in the 20’s (1920’s for you kids out there) impressed people as much as this run….almost silent as it ascended the hill and gained speed as it climbed….totally unbelievable at the time.

[@tonygeddes9558]

I appreciate the engineering involved and the driving, but I much prefer watching Loeb’s amazing run. That car sounded amazing.

[@motoxquasar5247]

I have to agree. Also electric has many advantages over a gas engine such as instant torque and not being affected to the decrease in oxygen as it climbs.

[@markhafford559]

Agree Loebs run more exciting... I found this boring...no noise

[@justinscott9151]

Would love to see a split screen with Loeb to see where the time is cut off the run....is it microscopic gains in every straight, or better power at elevation? Would be interesting to see!

[@vya.l.m5759]

Indeed, it would have been interesting to do, but unfortunately there is no onboard for the race day.

[@chris0579]

Loeb faster on the corner. But top speed for electric car .see weight

[@sded7126]

Electric cars will always have an advantage at higher altitudes. So probably some time is lost in that factor

[@cinegraphics]

It's easy to go that fast when you're chased by the police. You can clearly hear them. If he slowed down he'd get shot.

[@motoxquasar5247]

Electric engines have instant torque, so basically every time Loeb changed gears there was a split second without power. Also oxygen decreases constantly during the climb, I am sure Loeb's team adjusted this, however that something an electric car doesn't need to worry about.

[@POLDRO]

Like so many great things before which slowly arrived us here, we are witnessing the next step in progress evolving us into the future. Faster, Cleaner, Smarter, we move ahead in relative silence... Amazing!

[@maxkb5515]

Bullsh**s !!! No soul with these cars

[@POLDRO]

@@maxkb5515 They probably said the same about the motor car replacing the horse, or steamship replacing the sail and the diesel loco replacing steam, and so on. As much as I enjoy the sound, feel, and thrills the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) has given us, their phase-out stage for advancement has certainly begun. As human existence moves forward it will always improve its tools by realizing requirements through knowledge. Otherwise, we'd still be lighting a lantern and hunting with spears. Current generations are witnessing history go by, we are at the tail-end of another era and its lessons.

The downforce generated by the wing looks like a jet going supersonic. Awesome. Just wish it have a better sound.

[@SooperFlye]

If all the domestic cars in the world were electric, reserve gas engines for F1 & NASCAR. The roar of a gasoline engine will never be matched by an electric engine. Though I have to admit, this sounds like a smaller version of a F-15 fighter jet.

Oui c'est exactement ce que je me disais la VW électrique n'a pas la contrainte de l'oxygène en moins en altitude

En plus là VW est vraiment quasiment une prototype du man adapté à pikes peak (j'entends par là châssis monocoque carbone aerodynamisne ultra poussé sur la carrosserie etc). En comparaison les ingénieurs Peugeot pour construire la 208 t16 avaient du faire avec des pièce existantes dans un temps record. (châssis tubulaire en alu, la voiture ayant des contrainte sur l'aero puisqu'elle devaient reprendre les formes de la 208. Un moteur v8 repris de je sais plus où mais il aurait pu avoir plus performant) moi je dis j'espère le retour de Peugeot et Sébastien Loeb.

the acceleration ridiculous, that made the control on steering more difficult, that's a little issue there, because it's track racing car so you need so much grip especially in the uturns, yet no doubt the car one of the best racing track toys, and it smashed the numbers, it just need a good driver, plus good weather.
