Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima is back at Pikes Peak 2013 after technical problems eliminated the all-electric E-RUNNER last year. Tajima is convinced he can be the first driver to take an EV up Pikes Peak in less than 10 minutes. This year he faces stiff competition, however, from Mitsubishi who have hired Pikes Peak motorcycle racer Greg Tracy and Hiroshi Masuoka to pilot their MiEV Evolution II to a target run of nine minutes and 30 seconds.
