I liked all the closeup shots of the steering wheel. And hearing mat's comments from his video replay in my head.

Incredible how well balanced the car is. I was expecting more drama at the exit of the slow, wet corners, but it just puts the power down without over-steering.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone be more generous with the design info of their car. What a great guy.

Looks that he takes a beating at the top end of the hill. Awesome reveal Larry. Always terrific for the detail and depth of the drivers as well as the technical aspects of the cars in your videos. I’m hoping you’ll be able to document the service for Ken Block, for his followers and fans.

Pulling 4 g in the corner with no assist in the steering - holy cow! This car is even more crazy as all details and the engineering behind it got explained. What a cool bloke (since he's British 😁) and race team! 😎🤟

Love these technical deep dives Larry! I usually have to save them to my watch later until I have time to view the whole thing, but they're always great.

Absolutely awesome job on this video. I was more than happy going through the car with you asking the right questions. The icing on the cake was the race footage at the end . Thank you.

Very cool video. I learnt a lot. I’m a K20 enthusiast myself. Hats of to Honda

This is so cool! I'm so glad you did this video. This channel never disappoints.

the cone air- filter that we see here on the turbo set-up was what Rod Millen said to have taken off because they found out it was 'poaching' at least a 100 HP off (especially at higher altitude) on the Toyota Tacoma...they put a thin grill instead for peebles..!!..(he actually explained to Larry..!!)..

That was probably the most insane pov ride I've every been on. Awesome episode!

It's so responsive you would almost think it is a NA car and from what little info I could find for now it's a 4x4 and has an oversize turbo to boot, one would assume it has electric motors also, which would makes sense that it has little perceivable turbo lag, but I have not done any research on the specs yet to even know if it has electric motor assist or not, But it's just awesome that a privateer team literally beat the multi million dollar VW I.D.R. FOR THE RECORD TIME AT PIKES PIKE! And I'm sure at a fraction of the cost in every aspect with a freaking built Honda K20 4 cylinder! 👍

That car is an absolute beast, both in aesthetics as in performance. Have always loved the F1/IndyCar style chassis, like the 09' Ferrari F60, which is a thing of beauty. Very talented driver as well. I love the fact that it's powered by a K20. People used to talk soooo much crap about Honda (some still do but definitely nowhere near as many), and they've proven time and again to be insanely talented and skilled engineers that have made some of the best engines on the planet. Some of the best cars too, I'm still in love with my dream car (2nd gen CRX Si) and will take it with me to the grave.

@Stars-and-Stripes-

I would love to build a K20 2nd gen CRX with just all motor NA revving to the moon at like 10,000 RPM or something close to it with like 13 to 1 compression ratio running E85... Shit you can get 200hp out of a stock 1.0 liter stock Sport bikes now running 13 to 1 compression ratio, So I would think that about 350+ hp out of a high compression built K20 should not be out of the question... Imagine how fun a 350+ HP Honda CRX would be, then maybe go crazy and make it a 4 wheel drive with a couple electric motors at the rear wheels! If you did that you could tune the K20 to like 300+ HP so that it would be a reliable daily driver and have the 2 electric motors running an easy 100+ HP each, So you could have a 500+ HP CRX and if you wanted you could dial it down or up with a controller for the electric motors from , say 300+HP with the motors off completely if you wanted to, or crank them up you could dial it up to what ever HP depending on the power of the motors you chose to use...

Larry Chen, im never dissatisfied watching your videos. You are the Greatest Of All Time. Fu@& Legend !

what an epic interview and video. thank you larry.

That cars amazing, and the knowledge that you know yourself Chen San. Was great to hear and even beat him to an answer once or twice. KB43VER

Not sure if it's balls, stupidity or both that pushes these competitors to fly blindly in dense fog on a wet surface with the mountain edge feet away. God bless 'em for it. That engine noise is intoxicating. Thanks Larry.

Has anyone tried a progressive nitrous oxide injection system? Plugged into the ECU to respond to intake pressure? It seems to me that the friendly blue bottle might be a nice helper at an event like Pike’s. The Germans experimented with it on their Messerschmitts for that very reason. High altitude performance.

Balls of steel! Legendary. I’d be off that cliff so fast

Amazing guy and build , love to see him getting overall record .

I love the science behind this incredible machine!

Now that all advise needed is online, all I need is my craziness back.

this is what im talking about. a k20 build deserve on a chasis like this. this engine is made for this type of race. its not those torque monster. it just high end that keep on accelerating.

I woulda rathered get this in GT7 than the ID.R too. I can see how much time was lost due to having to run Wet compound/groove coming out of corners and into them for sure. This car gets 1 clean run it's prolly gonna be chompin' at the record.

Another masterpiece, a well built car

I’d love to see this thing give it a go at COTA sector 1 gotta be nasty ❤️❤️

Just looking at this build makes me smile like an idiot. Unlimited builds are the real inspirations (imo) And then the livery.. magnificent!

Hey Mr. Chen, what happened to the RLL shop tour video? I only got to watch part of it and I was really looking forward to watching the rest of it.

I want that motor... I need that motor... Technically or basically i have it already give or take some parts... Well all the parts and 25lbs of boost 😭

The only thing that "intrigues" me, why no bargeboard plate? Cause the nose is so wide so the the turbulent air is pushed by the clean flow in between the wheel & the nose so no/very little gets to the sidepod(raidator) intake?

Should have Fueltech engine management, it will keep the 600hp at the top when tuned for it.

In monster trucks they use a huns device around their neck between the helmet to cut down on bobbling head an neck injuries. In dirt bike racing they have special goggles that clear off dirt. I am sure by now a racing helmet has been developed for same purpose . To help clear water from visor. As for those other things working against them in tires traction an etc I have out of the box ideas even for the fuel tank slouching effect but unfortunately it take more space in text to explain than is give space for. Thanks for the insight into this peaks car. An I hope to see more from it.

No surprise here fully sealed road spec racers are taking it out

That's like Gran Turismo 3, when you could put dirt tires on a Porsche and use it as a rally car.

I still say Porsche should dust off the 919 Evo to go for the Pike’s Peak record. That thing can take some more boost and an even sillier wing. Let Sebastian Loeb drive it and it’d be a done deal.

Given its a Yokohama sponsored car it would be great to see how fast this could go at world time attack as a demonstration. See if it could get close to Danny rics record in the old redbull f1 car

I do wonder if the tread on those tires might've been a bit too aggressive, thinking of it in a bit of the same way as using full wets in F1 when only intermediates were needed.

Any reason why the motors don't use a turbo AND a supercharger arrangement like the Lancia Delta S4 Group B car?

@mikaelbihl-matias9462

I was thinking the exact same thing. The main reason would be the added weight and the complexity/clutter of the system with more by pass valves and 2nd intercooler for the supercharger

Wouldnt a blown diffusor be damn efficient on Pikes peak ? Its a consistant downforce and sounds godly.

Thanks for presenting the car. Looks like the K20 ended up being a good choice for the conditions. I would've passed myself! Could use something use a engine capable of more torque in better conditions though. Even with the weight penalty. I know that isn't mountune customer base though.

Huh, I never realized before the engine was longitudinal. Being a K20 I just assumed it was in the conventional layout.

Kinda wonder what this would do with a tuned down version of the Honda k24 engine Kyle over at BoostedBoiz KZread channel runs in his MR2. If I remember he runs a k24 not for displacement, but for rpm’s…

600 HP 650 Kilos ... that should make for a hell of a passing gear. ;)

im curios will the mcmurty sterling will participate pike peaks hills?

What happened with the RLL Racing Tour??? I wanted to watch it but you removed it, are you planning to reupload at some point?

I've always wondered for this car. Bullet racing billet block, big Precision turbo, nitrous for spool and/or rocket turbo setup. 1200+ hp, throw even more downforce at it. Get into the 7's. Would give up at most 50 kg, but double power and probably an even higher downforce to weight ratio with even bigger elements for the wings and bigger diffuser

4 seasons in less than 10 minutes...great driving at the top with the fog. Engine seems to stutter after shifting gears in certain conditions 🤔
