I've got a bee in my bonnect to go and see the Pike's Peak hill climb race next year. From what I've seen it looks pretty good - ie the footage of the Audi S1 quattro!

Has anyone gone over to spectate? From a two second search, it would appear flights to Colorado Springs are £550 and to Denver £450. Which isn't too bad. Is it worth it?

Was planning to return to Le Mans next year, but I think I may just head over to the States instead!

Not been to the race, but i did drive to the top in May, what an awesome place, you can see forever...... although the air is very thin at the top, 1/2 an hour and i felt really weak......

I've been to The Springs many times; wonderful place. 320 odd days of sunshine a year, or something crazy like that! Nice people and the race's fun too. I saw Ari set his record, way back in his Pug 405T16.

Make sure you check out The Garden of the Gods.

Cheers

Awesome place, and the day we went there they just happened to have an old car gathering... lucky or what.... the visitor centre's car park was crammed full of cars like this.....

I've looked many times, but I can't see myself! As the owner of both 309 and 205 GTis at the time, I was very proud.

I know the link's been posted many times before, but it does no harm again:

Very nice Ron!

Forgot to say earlier, they were tarmaccing the track when we where there, i don't think there will be much 'dirt' left before long..... H&S gone mad......

Castrol

A couple of interesting facts.... The 405 (which was a new model that Peugeot wanted to promote) was actually a long wheelbase Peugeot 205 T16 with a faux coupe-style 405 body and Ari Vatanen in now a very un-car-friendly MEP!
