What is more terrifying than a high speed run up Pikes Peak with massive fog, wet conditions, and those high speed blue sky corners with no guardrails? A windshield that fogged up directly in line of sight and having to finish the race up the mountain fully blind!
Watch as @randypobstofficial has a great run spoiled by a fogged windshield. He tries dropping the windows but it doesn’t help! He loosens his harness and tries wiping the windshield with his hand while racing but doesn’t help! The defroster was on the whole race but it didn’t help! Instead of finishing 6th out of all 72 entries (he was on pace for a 6th place finish) to being blinded we finished 19 out of 72.
Until the windshield blinded Randy it was shaping up to be an awesomely close race between our 4900lb stock power/cooling Tesla Model S Plaid and Pikes Peak veteran Zwart’s incredible million dollar Porsche 935 ultimate factory race car.
Sector 1+2 Combined times:
4:22.73 - UP Tesla Model S Plaid Pobst
4:22.75 - 992 Turbo S Light Weight Donner
4:23.41 - Porsche 935 Race Car Zwart
Wow that was exciting!
A frustrating but promising end to Pikes Peak week. We are happy with how the car performed as we dialed in the suspension for the challenging track all week. It was ready for a win on race day. In the end the mountain decided this year wasn’t our year.
We are proud of our Randy and proud of the amazing work of our team.
This car is continuing validation of our production parts our clients enjoy. All brakes and suspension are UP production items as is the seat, harness and our UP-03 Wheels.

Congrats to all drivers & teams who put it on the line to challenge the mountain this year! It takes admirable commitment to run this race!
