Looks a bit like Le Mans at Pikes Peak. It seems they go for massive downforce. This thing will not slide so much anymore?
Or did they already put asphalt over the entire track up until the peak? I hope not.
Thats the first thing I thought. Very LMP looking. Im happy to see Hyundai getting more involved in motorsport.Or did they already put asphalt over the entire track up until the peak? I hope not.

They've got to start selling that Genesis Coupe over here, they'll sell loads of them, especially the 3.8 http://www.hyundaiusa.com/genesis-coupe/
My Dad had a Hyundai once, Mitsubishi engine, lots of toys looks like a Cortina. The Stellar, t'was a great car actually!
Bought it from a Dealership in the Falls Road called Daleys, had a dealer sticker in the shape of an Acid face... "I 've been to Daleys"
Good Luck to them!

Being an admirer of his, I had a chat with Rod Millen about his Toyota Tacoma truck at Goodwood FoS a few years back. The venturi tunnels on that are epic, which seemed at odds with his slightly tail-happy style. He explained that the tunnels were designed to work at slip angles of up to about 15deg. Can't pretend to be an engineer or an aerodynamicist, but made some sense. His runs at Goodwood have been worth the entry fee on their own. Or did they already put asphalt over the entire track up until the peak? I hope not.
O/T - this looks awesome. Nice to see some proper attempts from the works teams before the challenge is lost completely and it becomes fully paved.

Impressive...
(PS - Did he actually catch up to the Bowler Nemesis? Was that going full chat or taking it easy? (The Bowler I mean, Rod Millen was obviously going full chat!!))
Looks stunning! maybe the Radical guys should watch their backs! lol
Seriously though, really hope thisthing dose well. Not what people are used to seeing but should be pretty effective. the principles are the same after all!
Intrersting that they are only using a single turbo and not twin turbos!

On the Tacoma "truck" that Rod drove. Was basically a reskined verison with awd and anti lag system.
Of Dan Gurney IMSA GTP Toyota Mk3 Eagle that Rod and his team worked to run up Pikes Peak.
The only thing now we would need is someone the Unser clan to get some factory backing.
To make things really interesting.
