Dumas announced today that he will be back again with fire in his eyes and a goal of the prize in the Unlimited Division, this time behind the wheel of a Norma prototype, where he will meet both Millen, driving an all-new, ultra-lightweight, purpose-built racecar using major power train components from Hyundai’s production-based Lambda engine family with 900 horsepower.
Last year, French racing star Romain Dumas shocked the crowd of over 6,000 on the hill when he turned in a blistering 9:46.181 in the Pikes Peak Open Division in a Porsche 911 GT3R on the way to Rookie of the Year honors during the first edition of the race on a fully-paved course. That shattered the old mark of 9:51.278 set by the legendary Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima in 2011, the first driver ever to break the ten-minute mark.

bolje im je da se pobiju......
In addition, the output of the engine has been increased from 850 bhp (634 kW) to 900 bhp (671 kW) which should make it a worthy adversary for Sébastien Loeb's Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak.
The 35-year-old Dumas will be behind the wheel of a new Norma M20FC PP in the talent-loaded Unlimited Division, which features the likes of Millen (Hyundai Genesis PM58OT), who set the all-time course record of 9:46.164 last year in winning the Time Attack division, nine-time World (WRC) Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb of France in his specially-prepared Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, former British Rallycross Champion Mark Rennison (1986 Ford RS 200 Evolution), France’s Jean-Philippe Dayraut, the 2011 Rookie of the Year (2011 Mini Countryman), who was third two years ago in the Unlimited division, Kris Antal of Hungary (2013 Krispeak KA 14), and Pikes Peak veterans Dave Carapetyan (2013 Rally Ready PP9), Jimmy Keeney (2012 Chevrolet Colorado) and Doug Siddens (2009 Polaris RZR-X1), who won the Exhibition Powersport division last year.
Sebastien Loeb set the pace for Peugeot in the first official Pikes Peak tests ahead of this year's event.Loeb's first attempt on the famous climb was split into two stages, tackling the lower half of the run on Saturday and the second half on Sunday. On both occasions he was fastest overall.The divided programme was aimed at building up Loeb's knowledge and pace notes ahead of his first full runs.Loeb, who only completed his first meaningful run in the 208 T16 in May, said he felt immediately comfortable on the 4,301 metre climb."I feel very confident with the car," Loeb said. "That's a reassuring start, if only because of the speeds we get up to here."We are already getting close to the limit in many places. All we need to do now is make some detail changes and we will be ready for the big day."Peugeot's sport director Bruno Famin added: "The result of the weekend is completely positive. Our 'beast' seems to suit Sebastien, to the extent that we have hardly made any changes to its set-up."The car's potential is borne out by the fact that we posted the fastest time on each run."The chief lesson is that the 208 T16 Pikes Peak is a well-sorted car and that our busy programme in the past four months seems to have taken us in the right direction."Loeb will participate in three more official practice sessions at the end of this week. The main event takes place on June 30.
