Porsche is back in full force at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Tomorrow, a corner of the Colorado wilderness will echo to the glorious rasp of flat sixes as no less than 16 #porsche take on the legendary #pikespeak hill climb. From an all-electric 1973 #porsche RSR competing in the Exhibition class (yes, you read that correctly), to a twin-turbo GT3 R EVO driven by David Donohue running in the Open category, there will be plenty of Stuttgart’s finest running up the 19.99 km course.Alongside a single 2019 718 Cayman GT4 entry, six 2016 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MRs are also back this year, running in the invitation #porsche #pikespeak Trophy by Yokohama, with seven drivers hoping to unseat the current title holder, X-Games and AMA Motocross champion Travis Pastrana. He’s joined by his friend and fellow Nitro Circus stunt rider Blake ‘Bilko’ Williams, as well as IndyCar driver J.R. Hildebrand, Phil Bloom, Marc Bunting, George Hess III and Gustav Lundh. Here’s hoping this year’s weather stays a bit kinder, as last time a sudden snow storm closed in just after Pastrana’s winning run.
Meanwhile, Donohue is hoping to build on his 2018 success, when he set the Time Attack record in a #porsche GT3 R. Running in the Open class this year, there’s no doubt he and the team from #porsche Colorado Springs are coming armed for the task. His GT3 R’s chassis remains relatively unchanged, but the twin-turbos have significantly upped the ante for this year. Thanks to all the extra boost, the car is good for about 825 hp at altitude — that translates as nearly 1000 hp at sea level.
