@@Lebviero Tbh why not just massively amplify the gearbox / inverter / motor noises? EVs aren't *that* silent that they couldnt do this instead of a dumb siren.
Our team worked on V710 (Transit Custom/Tourneo production vehicle) which became Supervan 4, and much of the rapid prototyping (SLS - plastic printing) for the race vehicle was done by colleagues at our Engineering Centre in Dunton Essex. So for me last year's Ford entry for Pikes Peak the Supervan 4 at 2000hp, sub 2 second 0-60, is the ultimate statement from Ford. Both are incredible vehicles made by Stohl Advanced Research and Development, the detail and craftsmanship of their construction is incredible.
Don't know if they had a choice, but I thought it was a nice touch that they gave the truck a European siren sound to make the driver feel more at home :)
Man, I have driven up PP many times and watching the videos still freaks me out a bit. Couldn’t imagine doing it at those speeds. For the best video of the race, check out ‘Climb Dance’ video from 1987 when it was still dirt. Peugot sounds amazing.
@@boblister665 Would probably be winter at the high elevations or on all of it. Not sure what they do with closures or limitations then. Tire chains may be required if they let you go at all.
@@PeskyTheWabbit I was up there Saturday morning for the 1st time, those were actually Ground Hogs (marmots) and they are actually quite large. They were having an all you can eat buffet on all the hay bails. There were tons of them which was kinda interesting, it was my 1st time visiting the summit.
05:31 that was the scariest part dude, i can't imagine how much pressure this driver took, what a brave man drove this kinda monster machine with high speed in a dangerous roads like that
This banter is interesting. I wonder how many of the folks complaining about the EV aspect of this have actually driven one? As an owner of a pretty “slow” EV, I can tell you that watching them may be boring, but driving them is far more fun than any ICE car. Instant torque, low C.o.G., and strong regen into corners makes my Chevy Bolt a blast to cruise the twisties. So, I would say the EVs are driver’s cars, even if they aren’t spectators’ cars.
@@wyattmunger5529 it's not even close to wild, it's just correct lmao Like I've been building cars since I was 13, I've been racing IRL for nearly 2 decades, I have my noisy old modified cars and my V8 car and whatnot, but honestly some of the most fun cars I've been in/driven are hybrid economy cars (never driven a full EV unfortunately). That electric torque off the line and out of corners makes for huge amounts of fun. If I had the money I'd have an EV race car in a heartbeat.
@@JP-xd6fm that’s weird but besides the point that GT sponsors the race and it’s not in the game. It would be like if the race was sponsored by TH-cam but then you couldn’t watch it on TH-cam, you had to watch on Facebook or something. Just wouldn’t make any sense would it
Playing Polyphony's Advocate, it's because there's no incentive for Polyphony to put it in. Gran Turismo in its current form is built around online racing. You can't have multiple people going up at once in a sprint, you have to figure out how to handle invisible walls, and the only event it'd really be good for is a single player event or online time trial. Other than that, it just doesn't seem to be worth it for them.
@@MBearr1221 But why aquire the license if they dont ever use it ? Just put pikes peak in gt or sell the licence so fans can actually enjoy the track on simulator without the need to play 10 year old game or mod that is not that great. Also there is so much to do in gt 7 i have 300 hours single player only and i have still so much to do. They could make a mission around pikes peak or as you said online time trial since rally didnt change since gt3, beside multiplayer has been the same since sport, its not really focused on multiplayer that much. Almost all content updates are single player oriented.
What's with the Euro siren during the whole run? Now wondering if he grew up running from the cops in France, and now the sirens are a phsychological trigger mechanism to keep his adrenalin up for best times.
Nothing better than electric power. Lots of instant torque and it never runs out of steam, even with altitude. The thermic needs a lot of air, the electric does not need it. These are the cars of tomorrow and they will not suck the air out of our children.
I am the biggest idiot. I literally live in Colorado Springs and have not hiked up to watch this… people come from all around the freaking world and here I am
I love Piles Peak but it annoys me immensely that the event has been sponsored by 'Gran Turismo' who after so many years of sponsorship still haven't introduced this amazing TT course into more recent versions of the game. What a missed opportunity! The game director really is a fool to sponsor such an event and not capitalise on its inclusion within the game - it makes no sense. Kaz - please will you retire and allow some young blood to invigorate and revitalise the GT series which I think is going stagnant under your direction.... 👃😇
It's always easy to say that "everything is better today" after the track has been completely paved and the ugly (why can't they just build a normal looking car as an electric one?) Cordless screwdrivers play a completely different performance class... Everything that was once beautiful and fun is being destroyed now. It's all about making money
Brilliant drive but what is much more amazing is how the Ambulance was able to stay on his tail 😂😂😂
Sounds like German police cars are chasing him 😂.
correction: verified to be a French police siren.
LMAO
Hey, he was pulling away from it on the straights, but it caught up to him in every tight corner!
I am french like Romain Dumas and it is a French police siren...🙂
@@yariendedispo671 Perfect, now it's 100% and not a German one.
Fair play to the French Gendarme (probably in a stock Peugeot 405 diesel) on his back bumper all the way up........ really chivvied him along!

bro lost ALL power and did a reset, if that didnt happen he would probably have been in the low 8s, what an amazing driver and car
nothing like having all available power/torque at any altitude...take that thin/lesser oxygen molecules
GT7 needs to add Pikes Peak desperately
Yep. DLC incoming
I want this so much. How can they sponsor the event and not include the track on the game?
As long as it's a solo event it be cool
@@BlindRamb0They could at the very least add it to Sport mode as one of the daily races. But GT doesn't have any sprint style races. Yet!🤞
Was just thinking that
Amazing drive but no mention of the French police car that was able to stay with him the entire way up? 😂
Actually, he caught him
in the corners but fell back a bit on the straightaways….
"you know i've already done 8 sooo..." what a burn!
Can we please get the full replay without the interview?
Fully agree, they did it last year as well. Should do it after the run is finished.
Can we ban microwaves on the mountain?
Or you could just skip ahead, right?

i thought same but it’s an electric car and there is no engine sound the siren is here to protect the public.
Some say he doesnt have a belly button. Some say he's faster up Pikes Peak in an ambulance. All we know is he's called the stig!
@@Lebviero Tbh why not just massively amplify the gearbox / inverter / motor noises? EVs aren't *that* silent that they couldnt do this instead of a dumb siren.
@@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife TBH these cars aren't silent at all, especially at these speeds.

I'd love to see his speed through the drive.

So as usual..Ford ....had some other company making their vehicles for them..again......????
homie had to reboot his truck and still won the hill climb...
I think he lost like 0:19 (0:44-1:03) seconds on to reboot and then another 5 seconds accelerating again. Pretty amazing drive nonetheless.
Yup, sounds about right. At 0:56 he mentioned that he was 26 seconds down in S1 and that's about all that! I guess maybe he lost some time slowing too
Don't know if they had a choice, but I thought it was a nice touch that they gave the truck a European siren sound to make the driver feel more at home :)
But the mountain goats are wondering what the heck is that sound?
That's the standard electric siren for Pike's.
I often wonder why they don't just use V10 F1 noises.
The left side of the road near the top is just plain scary.

Great to see the run. Would be interesting to see some telemetry posted as well.
this is like when the crew chief says drive it like you stole it 🏁🏁
Bravo mon ami, spectaculaire
Dumas was just showin' off, "yeah, I can do a full power reset mid run and still smoke the field...."
Such a run with an ambulance... amazing !
Thats like the sound of my washing machine on full program tailed by an ambulance 🤷🏼♂️🔧🪛🛠️
