Electric Car Company (?) Faraday Future Will Race Pikes Peak This Year
Electric Car Company (?) Faraday Future Will Race Pikes Peak This Year-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

The is the most prestigious mountain race in the world. is a car company(?), or at least a company that aims to make cars. Now the two will (?) meet this year in competition.

Chinese/Californian Tesla-rival Faraday Future just showed off its first production-intent car last month. Already the company is taking it racing, running the Race To The Clouds in a few months.

Pikes Peak runs all the way up to 14,000 feet, so electric cars have an advantage over thin-air-huffing conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. It’s a big reason why EVs have been showing up more and more often at the PPIHC in recent years.

Tesla in particularly has been making a big presence on the mountain, and will be running a P100D. It makes sense that Faraday Future wants to follow and best their intra-state rival. FF already supports a car in Formula E, but this will be the first time it goes racing in its FF 91 car that it hopes to sell to the public.

Now all Faraday Future needs to do is not go out of business before the race on June 25th.

Here's A Half Hour Of Brits Flipping Their Cars On Purpose On A Janky Narrow Ramp
Sometimes I wonder if the Brits are better rednecks than we are. Case in point: this ramp rollover competition mega-cut. Take a sketchy narrow ramp, and fly, little beaters, fly! This compilation was called Ramp Roll Over Kings, and it’s a wealth of insanity even I would be too chicken...

Every NASCAR Race Should Be Dubbed Like This
Every NASCAR Race Should Be Dubbed Like This
Going to a NASCAR oval race to feel a full field of 40 earth-shakingly loud V8 engines rumble your very bones is a near-religious experience if there ever was one. Unfortunately, it doesn’t translate all that well on television. This is a much better dub if there ever was one....
