We’re happy to announce that Dai Yoshihara and Evasive Motorsports finished the race with a time of 11:06.205, placing 2nd in the Exhibition class at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb 2022! We were also the fastest EV of the weekend with our Tesla Model 3, while placing 9th overall out of 71 finishing competitors.
It was a treacherous race day as extremely cold and wet conditions hampered everyone on competition day. Prior, the week had been dry and moderately warm, providing great conditions to allow us to qualify 4th. Nonetheless, being our eighth year at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, we had to be prepared for any condition the mountain would bring. Yokohama provided us A005 racing slicks but also supplied A006 tires for wet conditions.
As Dai drove up the 14,115 ft. summit, he tackled “the most challenging driving conditions in [his] racing career.” Along with rain, fog covered almost the entire mountain, limiting drivers’ visibility. This even caused several drivers to go off course and crash. Dai’s extensive experience as Formula Drift driver and growing up on the Touge of Japan played a crucial role in his ability to feel the road and dynamically adjust to ever changing conditions.
We can’t wait until the next time we return to the mountain!
