I predicted he would blow the record to smithereens, but that's about 47 seconds faster that I though he could do it. I hope there are plenty of videos in the coming days.

Apparently, Peugeot's attack on Pikes Peak is reminiscent of Audi at LeMans. Po-joe must be a very popular marque in Europe, eh?
