Part 2 of PPIHC is another double-header! First: Rhys Millen and Joey Seely explain their secrets to being fast, the 1300HP 911 they're campaigning, and a bit of Rhys' history at the mountain. Plus, Rhys' weird tire secret. Then, we hop in an MDX with Acura's lead factory driver, James Robinson, who gives us a turn-by-turn tour of the mountain. He points out specific challenges, turns, driving lines, and talks about the event in general, how he started, and his NSX. Rhys Millen is one of the best drivers on Earth. He holds trophies from Formula D, and Global Rally Cross. He set his first Pikes Peak record in 1997 in a Toyota Supra. He was King of the Mountain (overall winner) in 2012 and 2015, set the EV record in 2016, and set the SUV record in 2018. He's also won at Baja, knows how to setup a car, and as we find out, has a weird secret with tires. Joey Seely was a co-founder of BBI Autosport. 6 years ago he struck out on his own to open Emotion Engineering. Initially, he focused on chassis/suspension setup.

Pikes Peak 2022 Pt.1: First, we stand at Glen Cove and talk about the cars we've seen, weather, altitude, and what the hill climb means to us. Then we go to Devil's Playground to speak to 3 pro drivers -and Motor Trend figurehead Jonny Lieberman- where we cover topics like: How does one learn this crazy mountain road? How is it different from the Nurburgring? What do you mean there's a car? How is Robb's first experience racing a 2022 Porsche GT4 RS on the mountain? When is sun bad? What's Jonny trying to improve on? How is David Donahue's 2021 Porsche GT2 RS ClubSport handling the altitude? How does this compare to road racing? How do you measure power at bottom vs the top? How do gears get longer over time? All that a whole lot more! Recorded June 23, 2022 from (nearly) the top of Pikes Peak. Head to Policygenius.com to get your free life insurance quotes and see how much you could save. Berryman Products.
