In the Rocky Mountains on a century-old public highway sits the most dangerous racetrack in America. The 12.7-mile course wraps around the legendary Pikes Peak and ends at the mountain's 14,115-foot-tall summit. But even with its deadly hazards, which include 156 blind turns and steep cliffs with no guardrails, drivers continue coming back for the annual Pikes Peak Hill Climb race. So just what sets it apart from the hundreds of other professional racetracks in the US?

Losing grip at nordschleife: hit the wall pikes peak: dive the cliff Isle man TT: you need pilot license, hope you have smooth touchdown

As someone who lives a few minutes away from Pike's Peak and driven up multiple time, it most definitely does not take anyone 3 hours to drive to the top. It usually takes around and hour, just depends on how busy they are at the summit because they only allow a certain number of cars there at a time.

@@ak47tetris84 , ok, there is an idea! Colorado - the turn is a "number 3". Copilot - the turn is a "2++". The difference is only a couple thousand feet down or many hundreds of metres. Further up someone stated Colorado is not rich. So how are they going to afford electronic turn signage for a road with a 25mph normal speed limit? Imagine the outcry on the rest of the states roads with that or higher speeds.

It was designed by the engineering team from the Death Star. No handrails.

It's "just a game" and all but it's interesting my experience with Pike's Peak in Dirt Rally shared the danger points the racers were speaking of. The blind corners, the disorientation of corner deja vu, concentrating on mot going off a cliff instead of dwelling on passing the last of the trees... And a civilian drive up this thing takes hours, you say?

The danger is what makes pike peaks so interesting, racing is becoming too safe nowadays

The danger certainly isnt what makes it interesting. Its the power of the machines and the skill of the drivers and watching them set fast times at unimaginable speed. We dont enjoy it because theres risk of injury, we enjoy it because its a good hillclimb
