At this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Rhys Millen and team RMR have set a new world record with a time of 9:46.164. And today Rhys has revealed a pretty cool video showing the entire hill climb.
With
this time, Millen was just few tenths of a second quicker than 2010 Le
Mans Champion Romain Dumas and his Porsche 997 GT3-R who managed a time
of 9:46.181.
"With the newly paved section of the
course and the hot weather conditions, a lot of people failed or
crashed. Our cars balance remained the same from practice to race day
using these Hankook F200 Tires this entire run. Even on a slick tire
and torrential downpour in the last mile and a half, with the heat we
were able to achieve in the tires the grip was still adequate and we
were able to produce a new world record,” said Rhys Millen after Sundays
victory from the summit.
