At the Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard in 2018 Volkswagen Motorsport brought its Pikes Peak record breaking ID.R electric racer for the first time. In the hands of Romain Dumas, the multiple Le Mans winner who set the record on Pikes Peak, it set a very creditable set of times, but didn't get close to the longstanding Hill record of 41.6 seconds, set by Nick Heidfeld in a McLaren MP4/13 in 1999.

In 2019, Volkswagen, Romain and the ID.R were back, this time with a modified version of the car, and they were gunning for a new record. This is the story of how Volkswagen's ID.R went on to smash the outright Hill record.
