On the weekend of July 12-15, the Gudvud Speed Festival, already a tradition, brought together hundreds of thousands of spectators who want to see the legends of motorsport and motor racing in recent decades, as well as the 39, a range of newer cars. Both series of street sports cars and racing cars.
Among them was Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak, which became one of the first cars a month and less than 8 minutes in the state of Colorado, 20 kilometers from the summit of Paikspīė. Volkswagen broke Sebastian Laugh's 5-year record and earned his place in motorsport history books.
With the success in Paikspils, the name of the Gudvud Speed Festival will also be mentioned, since Volkswagen has already beaten 1,86 km. for other electric cars – 43.86 seconds. Thus, the previous record of 2013 was shifted by 3.48 seconds.
It must be said that even the best result on this track – 41.6 seconds – is not far off. With the McLaren-Mercedes MP4 / 13 Formula 1 racing car, former F-1 driver Nick Haidfeld was installed in 1999.
"Gudvuda is a fantastic race, and the satisfaction of victory is huge, the track is short but at the same time narrow and dirty, so it should not be underestimated, "said Dima, 40, after setting the record.
His words about the dirt on the trail, which makes the journey very complicated, are not without reason. This can be verified in the video below, which shows that Damascus escaped a disaster only when its 680 horsepower electric truck slipped and left the track in one of the turns.
