[@petercoughlan742]

Brilliant drive but what is much more amazing is how the Ambulance was able to stay on his tail 😂😂😂

[@rjung_ch]

Sounds like German police cars are chasing him 😂. correction: verified to be a French police siren.

Hey, he was pulling away from it on the straights, but it caught up to him in every tight corner!

homie had to reboot his truck and still won the hill climb...

[@Normandy1944]

I think he lost like 0:19 (0:44-1:03) seconds on to reboot and then another 5 seconds accelerating again. Pretty amazing drive nonetheless.

[@ryanrix1456]

Yup, sounds about right. At 0:56 he mentioned that he was 26 seconds down in S1 and that's about all that! I guess maybe he lost some time slowing too

[@jameseastwood4984]

Our team worked on V710 (Transit Custom/Tourneo production vehicle) which became Supervan 4, and much of the rapid prototyping (SLS - plastic printing) for the race vehicle was done by colleagues at our Engineering Centre in Dunton Essex. So for me last year's Ford entry for Pikes Peak the Supervan 4 at 2000hp, sub 2 second 0-60, is the ultimate statement from Ford. Both are incredible vehicles made by Stohl Advanced Research and Development, the detail and craftsmanship of their construction is incredible.

[@ohwell2790]

When will they get to the dealers for the public to buy? NEVER

[@TheMediocreMountainBiker]

[@MBearr1221]

Playing Polyphony's Advocate, it's because there's no incentive for Polyphony to put it in. Gran Turismo in its current form is built around online racing. You can't have multiple people going up at once in a sprint, you have to figure out how to handle invisible walls, and the only event it'd really be good for is a single player event or online time trial. Other than that, it just doesn't seem to be worth it for them.

[@djeezy808]

@@MBearr1221 But why aquire the license if they dont ever use it ? Just put pikes peak in gt or sell the licence so fans can actually enjoy the track on simulator without the need to play 10 year old game or mod that is not that great. Also there is so much to do in gt 7 i have 300 hours single player only and i have still so much to do. They could make a mission around pikes peak or as you said online time trial since rally didnt change since gt3, beside multiplayer has been the same since sport, its not really focused on multiplayer that much. Almost all content updates are single player oriented.

[@scottkahre9206]

This banter is interesting. I wonder how many of the folks complaining about the EV aspect of this have actually driven one? As an owner of a pretty “slow” EV, I can tell you that watching them may be boring, but driving them is far more fun than any ICE car. Instant torque, low C.o.G., and strong regen into corners makes my Chevy Bolt a blast to cruise the twisties. So, I would say the EVs are driver’s cars, even if they aren’t spectators’ cars.

[@wyattmunger5529]

This is such a wild take. Were you even into cars before EVs became more popular?

[@nataliejohnson4157]

@@wyattmunger5529 it's not even close to wild, it's just correct lmao Like I've been building cars since I was 13, I've been racing IRL for nearly 2 decades, I have my noisy old modified cars and my V8 car and whatnot, but honestly some of the most fun cars I've been in/driven are hybrid economy cars (never driven a full EV unfortunately). That electric torque off the line and out of corners makes for huge amounts of fun. If I had the money I'd have an EV race car in a heartbeat.

As a racer the goal is to win the race. In order to do that you need to use the best current powertrain. Currently, BEV, all-wheel drive vehicles are the best for this event. For now, they are the faster than ICE vehicles. Maybe a future technology will replace BEVs. Racers are always looking for the next best thing.
