Follow Miss GoElectric as she travels to Colorado Springs, Colorado to join the team at Ford Performance to witness the preparations for an historic Open Class record attempt at the 2023 Pikes Peak Hill Climb. The contender is Ford's tri-motor electric SUPERVAN 4.2 demonstrator and you've got to see and HEAR this thing to believe it.

This short documentary traces the origins of the Race to the Clouds including electric vehicles and racers from years past. What goes into the process as @STARDAdvancedRDandMotorsport and the King of the Mountain (Romain Dumas) team up and prepare for a record? This video goes into some technical detail about how the Supervan design was modified specifically for this record attempt & compares/contrasts it with version 4 seen at the @GoodwoodRR Festival of Speed.

It features Romain Dumas, Max Verstappen, and a host of other drivers along with familiar faces from Ford....and even Miss GoElectric for a few brief moments. You will want to watch their video on a big TV with great sound if possible:
