Pikes Peak is a race like none other. There are different hill walks, but none start at 9,390 feet and end at 14,115 feet. Nothing else within 12.42 miles goes up 4,725 feet from start to finish. To race at Pikes Peak, you need a specially made race car that can make a lot of power even in the thin air at the top of the mountain, go fast through the straighter parts, and handle bumpy, icy roads at triple-digit speeds. Given all the rules and the lack of clear instructions on how to follow them, it’s not surprising that the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb draws some of the most exciting race cars in the world. Here are some of the most exciting cars from the 2023 race.
