The second day of the 2012 Pikes Peak Hill Climb was devoted to the following groups – Unlimited, Time Attack and Open Wheel.
As for the Unlimited class there were such notable competitors as Ford RS200, which is newbie to the event and was brought only this year, Lovefab Motorsport showed its already-famous 850-hp Acura NSX in action, and to add more intrigue the open-cockpit Palatov Motorsport D4 Pikes Peak Special made its debut on the second day of 2012 PPHC.
Jean-Philippe Dayraut has returned for a second year with his Nissan GT-R-powered Dacia Duster and set the fastest time of the day with segment time of 3:54.96. Paul Dallenbach was aiming to take down the overall record once again with an updated version of his turbocharged 1,400-horsepower winged monster, but he was the second fastest with a time of 3:59.70. The Palatov Motorsport piloted by David Donner took the third place.
I’ll have much more interesting info for you when the third and the final day comes to its end. But for now, enjoy photos and video:
