Description

Tyler Pappas is a BMW performance specialist, race car driver, and the founder of Tyspeed in New Jersey. In his third outing at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, he showed up with a 705 horsepower G87 M2 built in-house to take on the production car record. After setting top times in practice, his final run ended in a high-speed off at one of the most unforgiving corners on the mountain. The car was damaged, the week looked over. Instead, Tyler and his team pulled off a full rebuild overnight using parts from a donor M2 with help from FCP Euro and Winslow BMW. He made it to the start line the next morning. The record attempt was cut short due to weather, but the drive to get back up speaks louder than any time sheet. This is the story of a shop owner who bet everything on one mountain. Watch the full film to see how far he got.
