If you thought that this year's Unlimited class in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb was in danger of becoming dull now that Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima - the hill climb's record holder - had gone all

, we would humbly suggest that you are wrong.
For a start, you're forgetting the Brit-backed RS200 entries of

Cody's Michigan-based firm, LoveFab, is a tuning specialist for NSXes, which is how his Pikes Peak entry began life - as an Acura NSX. Now it's been turned into a barely recognisable 850hp beast, and should be quite a sight whistling its way up the famous Colorado mountain.
In fact, with this year being the first that Pikes Peak is an all-asphalt event, not having four-wheel drive might not even be that much of a disadvantage anymore.
The 90th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb takes place on 12th August, having been postponed earlier in the year due to wildfires.
