Such a shame you were ultimately beaten by the Tesla, but I assume that was 4wd - you were struggling for traction with 2wd, so maybe could have done it with an extra motor & drive?

This is what drives the world of automobile evolution if we are lucky. Racing brings about unlikely ideas and cultivation and after refinement and safety updates we get a fleet of new tech. Now if only we got the power grid right in the first place Tesla tech would meet Tesla tech and off we’d go. Anyway…I love this. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

@@andybrown4284 I agree the sound of 30 odd open piped cars does give me goosebumps, the drivers give f$&k all they just want fast and simple. To make it viable there will have to be changes I’m sure, I mean we already had absolute speed with group b, and silhouette cars they took those away, now faster even electric? How long will they last if they kill half the league and half a dozen spectators or fly off cliffs uncontrollably on pikes peak?
