Nothing on their site
The Mach 2 team made a few posts over on Pistonheads (around the time the Doran RS200 was first revealed at Autosport) indicatng that they would be at the Peak this year.

Fingers crossed they make it this year and have a good stab at the climb!

Palatov look like taking up the challenge

this is a single seater designed to maintain a minimum of 500 hp throughout the full course run... it has a paddle operated sequential transmission, weighs bellow 1000 lbs and has all wheel drive... in it's previous lower powered configuration it was only 1.5s off the pace of a formula atlantic car

Weight: 1000 lbs (435 kg)
Engine: Hartley H2 Turbo
HP: 500 hp (throughout full course)
Power to Weight: 700hp/ton
Transmission: Hewland Sequential

the driver will be David Donner... perhaps they could also bring over a more powerful version of their electric racecar conversion

I love this course, its completely nuts.. although no longer gravel.. but still not exactly easy to go up fast

This Palatov car is certainly very fast, I'm sure they could break 10mins

Am I correct to assume Rhys Millen isn't doing Pikes Peak this year? Don't see his prototype Hyundei on the entry list; sucks if he truly isn't doing the race this year. I guess Hyundei wanted success quicker than he could deliver, so pulled the plug this year? In any case, the rest of the Unlimited Class looks strong; my guess for the two to finish at the top are either the Palatov or Jean Philippe Dayraut's Nissan GTR-powered Dacia Duster, who's back after finishing pretty strongly last year. Tajima's electric monster is unproven, so my feeling is it won't be fastest this year.

he is not competing in the unlimted class for the overall record but I think he is taking up a version of the Hyundai Genesis up the mountain... also TOyota announced the record setting electric Radical will be tackling Pike's Peak this year as well http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news/toyota-sets-sights-on-pikes-peak/

Rhys Millen is on the entry list you posted (in the Hyundai). Monster Tajima is in the "electric" class, Wlater Rorhl in the "exhibition" class in the Audi Quattro S1 (how good is that ), then there are the 2 RS200s in the "unlimted" class should be good even if they have paved it all the way up now.

BluSTi has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
What a donkey show this year!

My friend, co-driver for Jerad Voight in the Dark Horse Customs Camaro crashed 6 turns from the finish in a sheet of ice/hail.

Shortened race...

Should've been black flagged and the rest run on Monday. Terrible job by the race director.
