The world of motorsport woke up one day to the news that an electric vehicle had just shattered the Pikes Peak Hill Climb course record. The internet stood divided. On one side, you had the petrolhead who refused to even acknowledge the fact that the Volkswagen ID-R, which incidentally is a purpose built hill climb beast powered by electricity had shattered the record and on the other, you had a whole bunch of new-age enthusiasts who defended the electric and hybrid car like it was a certain religious prophet's second coming. A new breed of petrolhead .... Ummm.... Gearhead ..... no ... lets just use the general term.... 'Car enthusiast' has emerged. And we shall call them 'Electroheads' - and you heard it here first!
