Randy Schranz knows the 156 corners of the Pikes Peak hill climb better than most, having competed at the event 38 times before the 2013 event. His Shelby Cobra is entered in the Pikes Peak Open class and has around 850bhp. With its short wheelbase, controlling that power is no mean feat, and a large rear spoiler provides as much downforce as possible.
