30th June 2013, 9-time WRC Champion Sebastian Leob conquers the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and finished with a NEW RECORD of 8m 13.878s in the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak. This officially smashes the then current record set by Rhys Millen in 2012 of 9m 46.164s. Our heart-warming congrats to the WRC Frenchman for his amazing achievement!

Now for the question: if the X2010 takes on the Pikes Peak, how much time will it take to reach the summit? Hopefully someone here in this forum has a better mathematical brain than mine bcos I suck at calculations.

-X2010 vs. a Mountain?-

Yes it's just possible...or maybe it's already possible. Pikes Peak has underwent a total change of it's course; the rest of the route is now FULL TARMAC; meaning that even a Le Mans car can even qualify in the Unlimited Category (some regulations may need to be met though). Now it's anybody's game regardless of class and discipline!

-X2010 fastest speed converted for mountain-



As a base, we'll use this X2010 run by YouTube user Alicorn Fury, who set a time of 4m 29.362s on Nurburgring Nordschleife. There are faster 3-minute times out there I know but this one seems realistic and stable to meet for me (something I might try to beat my current 5-minute times with the same car). Need someone who can break the timing down and then convert it to a possible Pikes Peak timing. Following the direction, it has to be a hill-climb timing.

-Pikes Peak for GT6?-

Hopefully (if we can band to PD for a request!); after all it was last seen in GT2 on the PSone but it's totally gravel and the course is pretty short from the original (managed a 2-minute time in a Corolla Rally Car). If PD can squeeze in a 25km+ Nurburgring then surely there's no reason they can't squeeze in a 19.9km hill climb mountain (altitude 4'301 metres) for time attacks, drifts and Touge battles!

So any help if possible, how much time will be needed to reach the summit of Pikes Peak with an X2010?

A simple model would be calculating X1 g vs speed and then back out the speed limits on the X1 from the geometry of the track. For straights, find net power by adding drag power loss to engine power*efficiency and then convert the power to force so you can back out an estimate of acceleration. The Youtube video can't really be used for much.

This is all for the in game X1, the same method could apply for a theoretical real X1, but calculating the numbers might be a little more involved.

English please
 
More interesting would've been Dallara DW12 (driven by Simon Pagenaud) vs Peugeot 208 (driven by Sebastien Loeb), I reckon it would've been pretty close had Pagenaud been allowed to race.

Hm. Interesting. Would have been fun to see one attack the hill.

It is; right?!

Already we seen the possibility of the X2010 hitting the 3-minute mark clearing the Nordschleife in GT5. Until GT6 has Pikes Peak in their circuits lineup; we can only dream and imagine (until someone can get a calculation) a possible 4 to 5-minute timing on the mountain with it.
