Chris Wilson Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I know some of you lot will like this, good old Dave Rowe, Motec mapper extraordinaire, and a very handy pedaller has a new video of his 2017 endeavours on the infamous Pike's Peak hillclimb. Plus some footage of other stuff running the hill. I know he'd really rather be mapping my RB26, but when such delights are not available he potters about in this old shed of a cut and shut Audi....

bignum Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Great video, car looks and sounds fantastic but i get the feeling it could go alot quicker, Dave seems slightly scared of it i though only using half of the rev range mostly, obviously he doesn`t want to crash it too badly considering how much time and effort must have gone into that thing.

fastcar Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Fantastic video! There are a few events I have always dreamed of entering, one is pikes peak another is targa Tasmania! But sadly will never have the money or skill to do any. So will just have to keep watching videos like this and dreaming:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Was watching his build from start to finish , some interesting items he has on the car , turbo speed sensor to compensate for the barometric pressure drop at altitude , pity the Nos Solenoid failed on race day restricting throttle The craftmanship , parts and fabrication put into a car saved from rotting away in a field is astonishing ; something to leverage off , how to do things right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
