Actually, the sound you hear is not the electric motor, its the gears in the quick change rear end that are whining. The electric motors are for the most part silent.
Old grandpa has a chilled facial expression of bringing his grandkids to school in rush hour... ... ... while driving a 900 hp electric car up to the summit in under 10 minutes... unbelievable ;)
Electric cars are silent (relatively), so the alarm is to alert spectators that there is a racecar headed their direction and to get off the track/road/course.
Hey GoPro, u guys should make a way to watch this so the Viewer at home can switch between shots depending which camera angle they like the best as they watch it so each shot is linked ....that will be awesome!
From the F1 website on KERS: There are principally two types of system - battery (electrical) and flywheel (mechanical), although F1 teams have so far all opted for the battery system. Electrical systems use a motor-generator incorporated in the car’s transmission which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. Once the energy has been harnessed, it is stored in a battery and released when require. So... no electric motors? It says they use one right there... you wrong!
Great video I'm glad he beat his old record from a few years ago I remember when he set it that's awesome and electric motors are killer I love them that's what I run in my scale rc's there very efficient n push tons of torque n high rpms and get up to top speed n snap of a finger just have to have an excellent battery source pushing n holding the right amount of volts amps n discharge rate
Maybe it's so the spectators hear him in the distance, so no one is in the road. I know the car doesn't seem that quiet in the video, but perhaps it was harder to hear from outside?
This car is awesome in GT6 0-60 in 2 seconds top speed with default aero setting 171 mph and 186 mph with lowest aero settings. It's very tricky to drive though.
Wow! electric power is the way to go. Reminds me of the (regretfully) only time I've been to the US, but then I went up to Mount Evans, it looks rather similar !
Damn, Monster Tajima's over 60 and he's racing at speeds like that? Crazy! With that, yeah I'm definitely gonna try out the Monster Sport E Runner in GT6. Bought it but never tried it yet. :D
"Go Pro is one of his sponsers and right now I count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 probably 10 Go Pro's on there...... There's probably like 15 Go Pro's on there." Priceless :)
Dont miss the last curves or fall down for a long way. Great video. Dont see to many commercial for electric cars so far. F1 should nove to electric to give exemple
YESSS......1 peace wheels like on most race cars, the rim can not be separated from a 1 piece wheel unless you use a grinder & plan on hacking them beyond use,
Impressive, electric cars will dominate this mountain one day. He has got a point and squirt type of drive style, always noticed that about him, which means in the right hands this car can go quite a bit faster.
As you increase in altitude, air density decreases therefore Bigger aero surfaces are needed to achieve the same amount of downforce as a smaller splitter at sea level.
thats what im trying to say, use a lighter form of wheel like they use in nascar where the pit crews have carry them around the car running at full sprint
I love how they designed every little details of the car's aerodynamic, and then put a bunch of boxy camera on it.
Ikr
It reduces 99% of the aero thanks to that gomediocre cam.
This is where all Gran Turismo's car engine sounds came from...
No

Nobuhiro Tajima is a living legend. He was over 60 when he did this!
The BEST 9 minutes 46 seconds I've seen in a while. That was Awesome! Thank You and Thanks GoPro!!
I like driving this car on GT6. I've been really getting into electric cars lately.
So your experience with vehicles comes from a video game? That's a sad life.
helen mike And you get off trying to be a smart ass on UA-cam? Sounds like you only need to look in the mirror to see sad...
Yea I'm sad that I buy a new car for my wife and I every year. Its an extremely sad life.
helen mike Remind me why I care?...
Hammer Studios Gaming Then you will love to hear that this year this car has 1500hp and 1500nm. :)
Old grandpa has a chilled facial expression of bringing his grandkids to school in rush hour... ... ... while driving a 900 hp electric car up to the summit in under 10 minutes... unbelievable ;)
Love how calm and in the zone he looks the whole time
This would look gorgeous on the streets of New York City...
I love the sound of electro motors!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!! go electric!!!!!!! thank you GoPro and Mitsibishi for helping E cars grow!!!!
Proud owner of a gopro
That sound is amazing!
Amazing follow up video to tajimas last go pro video, best of luck to tajima to break his new record next year
Sounded like a symphony. Beautiful.
Well, Tajima definitely has a unique voice... Also, that car is crazy fast! I do prefer the scream of a conventional motor though
Electric cars are silent (relatively), so the alarm is to alert spectators that there is a racecar headed their direction and to get off the track/road/course.
That car screams like a banshee.
I love it.
Hey GoPro, u guys should make a way to watch this so the Viewer at home can switch between shots depending which camera angle they like the best as they watch it so each shot is linked ....that will be awesome!
the engine noise is so futuristic, LOVE IT
This car's power system sounds great I love its sound more than I do than the Audi Quattros, this is the future for racing

I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Where can I buy this car?
That sound reminds me to StarWars (in a positive way!) =)

Would love to see the pikes peak time of this early electric racer in dry conditions.
Not only a wet track, but one full of gravel and drop-offs. Takes BALLS!
Maybe it's so the spectators hear him in the distance, so no one is in the road. I know the car doesn't seem that quiet in the video, but perhaps it was harder to hear from outside?
Im so happy for him. What a great guy
What a dude!
That's the best sounding car ever!! A million percent better than any old fashioned combustion dinosaur! Great video GoPro
This car is awesome in GT6 0-60 in 2 seconds top speed with default aero setting 171 mph and 186 mph with lowest aero settings.
It's very tricky to drive though.
easy to drive with a wheel controller, though.
love how it switched cameras when the announcers counted all the gopros haha
Its so fun living in CO,Springs And watching the hill climb but i havent been for past 3 years
I am glad for him. He is real man.
Wow! electric power is the way to go.
Reminds me of the (regretfully) only time I've been to the US, but then I went up to Mount Evans, it looks rather similar !
Damn, Monster Tajima's over 60 and he's racing at speeds like that? Crazy!

I'm thinking the car alarm is going off for spectators to hear when he's headed up and get out the way...?
How close are people standing next to the track? That's some sick shit!
"Go Pro is one of his sponsers and right now I count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 probably 10 Go Pro's on there...... There's probably like 15 Go Pro's on there." Priceless :)
Sounds like the coolest RC car ever, I want
look at the timer. the 100th or a second part is off, it only counts to 29 and then restarts
They've finally done it. An electric car that sounds good!
Are you running castle ESC in that thing? XD Man its fast!!
Dont miss the last curves or fall down for a long way. Great video. Dont see to many commercial for electric cars so far. F1 should nove to electric to give exemple
It's cool to see this guy trying something different, not many people run in electric cars
......I wonder how much drag & weight all those cameras added.....
Some day I knew we'd have scaled up rc cars we could drive. This is it finally, now if only quick charge or had range ;D
That's a freaking dangerous road to be speeding on.
Wow, It's Captain Obvious ! ;)
Hey gopro thank you for the app update
That's actually so the spectators can hear the car coming, since the electric cars are basically silent.
Is the timer in the bottom right fake? The 10th and 100ths place of the timer doesn't make sense.
I would like to see the telemetry on this car.
I wish my grandpa could drive like that. Wow!
The camera batteries lasted that long!!!! WOW
@cole Thanks for clearing that up :)
AND WHERE IS THE GOPRO WHICH SHOW THE SPPED AND ACCELERATION?? =(
How close does he get to the people? Holy shit!
The electric engine sounds really cool :D It reminds me of the Bat Bike from the Dark Knight
Actually i would ask how close do people get to the track.
How many hp he lost at the top? :D
Um, zero? Don't you know anything about electric cars? They don't lose HP at altitude.
Will Davis Mr. Tajima said it himself. Near the end, the batteries were nearly drained because racecar.
The car is making a siren noise so he could definitely hear it.
Love that sound! AMAZING!
YESSS......1 peace wheels like on most race cars, the rim can not be separated from a 1 piece wheel unless you use a grinder & plan on hacking them beyond use,
Wow, those spectators are brave
Hey, those 100ths don't want to cooperate, do they?
Does anybody know if the cameras affect the down force a great deal?
that acceleration is melodic
Omedetou Tajima!!
Where is the competition? Is he the only E-Runner?
in breaking the "10 minute" barrier
No gear shifting? that thing is incredibly fast..
when is the hero4 coming out?
Would have been so much better with race telemetry! Eg. Speed, gear changes, split times.
I wouldn't be standing on the side of the road like that haha
is that the noise of an engine or my moms vaccum cleaner??
Future sound... we are really going to look like the Jetsons haha!
Does this Electric car works on gears or its automatic ?
Monster car, monster driver!!
Impressive, electric cars will dominate this mountain one day. He has got a point and squirt type of drive style, always noticed that about him, which means in the right hands this car can go quite a bit faster.
No transmission? Direct drive?
+Derrick Snelling just a low ratio single-speed transmission because they have huge torque at low rpm :)
the best part is the car is full electric
There isn't gears in electric cars, the output shaft just spins faster and faster.
Keiichi Tsuchiya proved that years ago.
Great job man!! Wow awesome
Looks and sounds like something George Jetson would drive from the view of the camera on the roof facing forward. :D
I love how the car alarm was going off the entire run! Lmfao! xDD
That's not a car alarm its a Siren so they know he's coming
sounds like he is fast forwarding through the whole thing
Wow duracel must make some big ass batteries these days
what's with that giant splitter?
As you increase in altitude, air density decreases therefore Bigger aero surfaces are needed to achieve the same amount of downforce as a smaller splitter at sea level.
how fast do these cars go?
Yes it is
That wailing engine sound
how can he see? his eyes are almost closed the whole time
Where's the speedometer
That looks amazing
I wouldn't be able to drive for very long. The sound would put me to sleep lol.
Live in Japan, thanks to tajima I have a suzuki swift with a very powerful engine.
for moster sport
dat acceleration!! electricmotor torque ftw!
That is the framecount
I want one of those motors for my golf cart
Nobuhiro Tajima is a living legend. He was over 60 when he did this!
I do agree!
thats what im trying to say, use a lighter form of wheel like they use in nascar where the pit crews have carry them around the car running at full sprint
