We’ve finally made it to Colorado this week for the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race. It’s been a great and exciting adventure so far. Being our first time competing at this event, we’re having to adapt quickly to the rigorous schedule involved preceding the actual competition this Sunday. Aside from qualifying yesterday, we’ve been getting up and hitting the mountain every morning at 2am for practice sessions. The altitude and climate change affects car’s performance quite a bit, something new to us but adjusting accordingly. Luckily we were able to backpack it with our good friends from the Rally xD and Greddy teams, part of the Scion Racing program and experienced Pikes Peak competitors.

Originally, we were in the Time Attack class, but during tech inspection, we were bumped into unlimited class for the aerodynamic modifications on our Scion FR-S. However, it doesn’t drastically affect our goal. We signed up for this competition to test our skills and be a part of a great experience where we can demonstrate the abilities of a well built and balanced vehicle. We are challenging ourselves as a team and the mountain.

Video! Video!

I don't think you have enough downforce! Lol looks wicked! Makes my apr splitter look like a joke lol

How do you like the altitude here? Any chance of you guys stopping by Boulder, CO for a bit of the high life?

Awesome!! Good luck!!

In case anyones looking for up to date information

not bad at all considering Loeb's Peugeot is in the 900hp neighborhood. Not sure b/c never done but I can't imagine its easy to drive a 6speed in PP, most of these guys have sequential gearboxes or paddle autos.

Yea that is unfortunate to end up in that class. I still think its impressive given thats the stock gearbox with a car with half the hp of the Peugeot. I'd kill to see an ascent video of your FRS.

So what name are we looking for on the timing?

No. is: (what else?) 86

By the way, looks like there's another BRZ running similar times in TA, Toshiki Yoshioka.
