Review - SUB-10 Minutes | Pikes Peak 2020
Added 2021-12-22 11:02:00 +0000 UTCHowdy, Patrons! Drew here. Due to some last-minute rescheduling, we've decided to push our review of Michael Fassbender's Road to Le Mans Seasons 2 and 3 to next month. For this month, Rob and I tackled a niche area of motorsport that we knew almost nothing about: hill climbs.
Thanks to Twitter follower Jonathan Craven AKA @TenaciousWii, our discussion revolves around Lyfe Motorsport's attempt at summiting Colorado's notorious Pikes Peak in less than 10 minutes.
Here's a link to the 40-minute documentary on YouTube.
As you'll hear, we learn a lot over the course of this episode about the Unsers, powder coats, and, especially, Rob Zacny.
Enjoy!
