Pikes Peak has also had a very open relationship with new technologies.

And if you don’t like cars, there’s always bikes, quads or sidecars to keep your attention. From the anything-goes Unlimited Class, to the Open Wheel Class where traditional racers from the good ol’ dirt days of Pikes Peak fight it out with their mildly psychotic-looking pumped-up dune buggies, plus vintage muscle cars, souped up semi-trucks, and bewinged Time Attack cars – there’s genuinely something for everyone. The weapons of choice that charge up the hill are about as varied as they come within a single motoring event. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, last weekend some of the bravest (and slightly delusional) minds in motoring gathered at the bottom of a hefty hill in Colorado, pointed their bumpers to the summit and gave it hell to get up to the top as quickly as possible. The Pikes Peak hill climb is a magical event in the motorsport calendar.
