I'm dissapointed but quite happy though,because Ford didn't approach it seriously
I think he likes it! :D
In an interview on Speed Channel's "Wind Tunnel", Markus gives his own account of Pike's Peak, and is looking forward to coming back. :)
Without going to Colorado in due time for pre-testing they will never go any far.
There is NOTHING over here in Europe where you can get enough experience to race at such an altitude and of all those problems coming with it.

I think that is the main point. You can't just turn up and expect to go quick, etc It has to be a proper programme.Quote:

Some of the best drivers in the world haven't been able to piece together Pikes Peak.Quote:

You need to develop an understanding of the mountain as much as have the car set up right.... If you know how the mountain changes when things do change, you can be much much faster, that is where Monster has the advantage...
