I left it running over night, and have this:

Wow impressive!

How does the champion look like?

They all look pretty much the same.

There's a huge mountain at 156m, and it just gets worse from there.

These look very similar to what all of my cars looked like at ~750 generations. Throughout the first 150-200 generations, the best cars tended to have a large front wheel and a small back wheel but this must change somewhere in the 500 generations in between.
