Rhys Millen Wins Pikes Peak First Electric Car Victory

submitted by newtboy

8 years 9 months 1 week ago

The 93rd Running and 99th Anniversary of The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Brought to you by Gran Turismo was won on Sunday, June 28th, 2015 by Rhys Millen in the electric powered and Latvian built Drive eO PP03. This historic win marked not only the first electric powered overall victory at the PPIHC but the first time an EV had defeated all internal combustion challenges in a head to head race.

Shamelessly self *promoting .
Amazing to see the disappointment from Rhys after setting a new record even after loosing 1/2 his power early in the race. I guess the next run should be blistering! I love to see the advancement in electric race cars.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, July 20th, 2015 1:06pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter newtboy.

No power loss at altitude helps quite a bit I imagine. Would be interesting to see the splits compared to a combustion engine as it climbs, well, if it hadn't lost a motor half way up.
