What's your thoughts on the course since it's now been fully paved?
 
I've heard a lot of people going, "Oh Pikes Peak, it's fully paved now. It's not as scary." My argument to that is it's even more scary now because it's fully paved. Competitors can go flat out now without dirt sections to worry about. There's no compromise when choosing tires or setup.

Considering its the 908 LMP1 rear wing, I wonder if they just bolted the whole 908 rear engine on to it..... 600bhp+

The "undressed" intake looks rather too much like the one on the engine of the second 908. I'd like to see an unrestricted version of the V12 though, pushing about 1000bhp and a mountain of torque bigger than Pikes Peak itself. :D

i just wrote what they say in that article :dunno:

the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak has a tubular steel chassis and is powered by a V6 engine used in restricted form in a Le Mans Prototype. This engine has now been tuned to develop 800bhp.
