How To Watch The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb This Weekend
How To Watch The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb This Weekend-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:21

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb makes its return this weekend and if qualifying is a preview of what’s to come, it looks like records will be broken once again. The action kicks off tomorrow morning, so here’s how to watch.

The 12.42-mile long course takes drivers up 8,000 feet to a 14,115-foot summit. If it takes a normal driver an hour to drive up, it takes less than 10 minutes for a time attack car to make its way to the top. Suffice to say, the racing is exciting. Lucky for us fans, there are several ways for us to follow the action.

First, there’s the official live stream that promises to be “revolutionary” thanks to specific production techniques adapted for a hill-climb race like this. We assume that means plenty of HD cameras placed along the course and maybe some in-car POV shots along the way. All you need to do is plug in your e-mail address at .

Next, if you’re an old-timer who likes to have a radio broadcast running just to have a different commentary to listen to with your live stream, you can hear the action streaming through

Finally, there’s the official PPIHC app that available for and where you can follow your favorite drivers and keep up with the leaderboard during the actual race.

If you can’t catch any of the action live, lots of the highlight videos will be available on

As far as who to look out for this weekend, Time Attack Class 1 is where it’s at. A pair of Hyundai Genesis-es (Geneses, I guess?) with 2016 defending champion Paul Dallenbach and 2012 King of the Hill Rhys Millen facing off should be interesting. Millen’s back in his old time attack car from 2012.

Also, our pal Robb Holland will be racing that class , and you should check read about how that car came together here.

I have spent most of my career helping to develop racecars. I have helped develop racecars for…

The exhibition class is particularly light this year, but that doesn’t mean there will be some interesting cars to follow with Faraday Future’s FF91 and Acura’s NSX GT3 cars being the main headliners.

Prepare yourselves accordingly.

Former F1 Driver Jean Alesi Arrested For Putting Firecracker By His Brother-In-Law's Office
It seems like everyone has a wild in-laws-around-the-holidays story, but I think former Formula One driver Jean Alesi’s brother-in-law is going to have one hell of a tale now that Alesi was arrested in France for setting off a large firework outside that brother-in-law’s office window. Around 10 p.m....

The World's Wildest Alfa Is A Hillclimbing Legend
I have long been a fan of Alfa’s diminutive 4C. It’s a great little car, what with its carbon chassis and Italian good looks (okay, that’s subjective). It’s never been the fastest thing on four wheels, but it has provided many drivers with a fun experience that isn’t really...

IMSA GTD, FIA GT, World Challenge, DTM, GT Masters, N24, VLN, SuperGT, and various SRO series, to name a few, are all run with FIA GT3 specification cars, and literally thousands of them have been built over the years. And that’s just the top-level professional stuff. It seems like...
