Pikes Peak International Hill Climb 2025 em Colorado

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb também chamado The Race to the Clouds, é uma ascensão anual de carros e motocicletas para a cúpula de Pikes Peak no Colorado. Está ocorrendo no verão desde 1916. A estrada pavimentada é de 12,42 milhas (aproximadamente 20 km) e é muito curva — tem mais de 150 voltas. O ganho de elevação é de 1,440 m. A subida começa na Milha 7 na Pikes Peak Highway e termina a uma elevação de 4.300 metros no topo da Pikes Peak.

The Race features about 130 participants: cars, trucks, quads, and motorcycles. Practice takes place Tuesday–Friday before Race Day from 5 am to 8:30 am. The hillclimb is divided into three sections: from the Start Line to Glen Cove, from Glen Cove to Devils Playground, and from Devils Playground to the Summit. The Race starts at 7:30 am on June 23. Following the Race's conclusion, spectators will have the opportunity to stand outside the fences, albeit at their own risk, to enjoy the Parade of Champions. The "King of the Mountain" title is awarded to the driver who achieves the fastest overall time each year.

Fan Fest, a vibrant street festival, kicks off on the Friday evening before Race Day, drawing over 35,000 enthusiastic attendees across 10 blocks of excitement. At Fan Fest, you'll have the chance to meet and mingle with drivers, engage with top sponsors, and marvel at thrilling stunts during the FMX Show. Mark your calendars for this thrilling event on June 21, 2024, from 5 pm to 9 pm, right in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs.

A corrida conta com cerca de 130 participantes: carros, caminhões, quads e motocicletas. O primeiro Pikes Peak International Hill Climb foi organizado por Spencer Penrose, e o primeiro vencedor Rea Lentz cobriu a faixa em cerca de 20 minutos. Em 1971 a corrida foi vencida pelo primeiro carro não gasolina, correndo em propano. Os carros elétricos têm competido na corrida desde a década de 1980. Os espectadores devem observar a corrida apenas a partir de áreas de visualização designadas. Pense que é uma corrida perigosa, e todos os espectadores assistem por seu próprio risco.
