Yeah, the Dallenbach crash is so fast, but the Evo rolling down the hill looks savage, must have been like being stuck in a washing machine. Shame to see two well prepared cars written off, but at least everyone onboard is OK.

Yeah; can see electric power working particularly well at Pikes Peak, as it shouldn't be affected by altitude the same way as a combustion engine: shame that Tajima didn't make it to the top to prove that point!

Few more videos; first up a neat little compilation of some of the unlimited class cars:



And the official onboard video of Millens winning run:
