Insane fun pikes peak run! Livestream tomorrow 4pm pst
Added 2025-07-03 02:13:45 +0000 UTCOmg that was the most fun I’ve ever had driving. I was faster than mad Mike by 1-2 seconds for most of the run. Until I wasn’t. Crazy twist of events! The engine is fine. It was the turbo that blew. Overspooling it 40k rpm for several seconds straight did her in. I thought I flattened apex seal springs. I’ll upload the head cam footage tonight. Thank god I memorized the course. I couldn’t see the second half of it haha

Sadly no one did. It was only 1/3 of the run. Same as qualifying

It wouldn’t have made it up the whole mountain in my opinion. It was on fire every day. So it was subtle. But the whole week pressure cooked it. We need to make the intake easier to service so we can do maintenance and check
