Looks like the R1T only made one run in qualifying run; 4:39.861 in Exhibition class. The Iconic 5 beat it by 30 seconds. Of course the Iconic 5 N is a racing car that you can buy from a Dealer. A lot of mods on the Iconic 5. Surprised the R1T doesn't have wings like the Iconic 5. Okay they beat last year's R1T by 30 seconds in qualifying. Love to see a R1T or R1S fully modded up for this race.

Apparently it was only 4 seconds behind the stock Ionic 5N that ran. Yes, would be interesting to see what it would do if they put tricked out aero and other go fast mods.....remember this is a freeking pickup!

Reposting my post here as well from the other thread:

For the sake of the live stream being abysmal at best with the worst time chart / leader board possibly in human history in the stream, here y'all go:

Rivian R1T R1S Watch the Pikes Peak race on Sunday (6/23) @ 7:30am MT -- featuring 1025hp Gen 2 R1T Quad-Motor Pikes Peak Middle.PNG


Talk about GAPPLEBEES! EVs for the WIN.

That Ford Lightning super truck? Eh...Looks wild. It's neat for sure, but I think what really steals the show are the two mechanically stock cars that so happen to be EVs, that so happen be crushing heavily modded ICE cars in this challenge.

What's even more crazy is how slick the track was. I would love to see both the R1T Quad and IONIQ 5N to redo the climb in optimal conditions.

The R1T quite impressive yes absolutely, although the new Quad has ~347HP more than the IONIQ 5.

If anyone knows the exact weight of both the 5N Modded and the Rivian Quad, cook up the power to weight difference?

Ultimately what steals the show here is the IONIQ 5N both stock and modded and the Rivian R1T over everything else that completed in my books.

Rivian and Hyundai. ?

I’d like to see them just run on race tires. The Ioniq 5 had street tires, not the factory ones but street tires. The Rivian ran on the factory tires.
