A short clip of Romain Dumas and the all-electric VW I.D. R breaking the overall Pikes Peak hillclimb record with a 7:57 run, over 16 seconds faster than the previous best, with footage of the crowd's reaction.

Cited as evidence that electric cars can beat combustion cars in racing, here in a hillclimb where altitude and short runs suit electric power.

Disagree. Banning things is rarely effective, can't be enforced and tends to make people install loud exhaust systems. I've seen far more confederate flags in California recently probably because of all the cancel culture efforts to ban them as an example. Also loud pipes actually do save biker lives, and I think as EV's start to break out of their niche market the manufacturers should have to build in some sort of pedestrian/cyclist/other motor vehicle awareness audio. Electric racing vehicles have to sound like wooping ice cream vans to compete so they don't kill marshals on track...link to VW hill climb EV(the perfect use of electric power - short run, altitude change acceleration) ▶ this video

Sure, the article only briefly mentioned it, but it's in the picture at the top. I went down a rabbit hole with some links I found at the bottom :) It debuted at last years Pike's Peak race, It's quickly turned into one of the best electric race cars in the world. It broke the overall record at Pikes Peak, and is the only car the ever reach the top in under 8 minutes. It also recenly set the electric record on the Nürburgring. link ▶ this video (VIDEO)

bronson beat me to it, EVs have now set the Pike's Peak record, and ironically it's a VW (just not one they put into production). Here is another video of the VW, the first result for "EV pikes peak": ▶ this video
