Yokohama Tire sponsored BEV at Pikes Peak Climb

Begun in 1916, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a venerable tradition. Racing to the 14,110? summit, participants cover a 12.42 mile course beginning at the 9,390? level. The race is famous for the severity of its conditions including rapidly changing weather, a combination of tarmac and gravel surfaces, grades averaging 7% and 156 curves. This year was the 87th running with more than 200 automobiles and motorcycles present to compete. The Geolander BEV crossed the finish line in a time of 14 minutes and 50 seconds (second in the class) and very close to the all-time EV record of 14 minutes and 37 seconds.
