EVs win at 2015 race
First and second place in the 2015 Pikes Peak Hill Climb went to EVs.
Rhys Millen wins Pikes Peak under all-electric power The major remaining impediment to near-complete domination of such events is battery weight... no surprise there. Maybe graphine one day? |
An interesting result. Apparently the gas cars lose performance from the altitude faster than they lose weight from the fuel consumed.

Where were the big boys, then? Loeb set a low-eight time back in 2013 on gasoline.
Still, impressive, considering Millen's best time ever was only fives seconds faster than his winning time this year. |
