Pikes Peak is one of the oldest, most difficult and most dangerous motorsport events in America and this year is its 100th running. If you want to keep tabs on the thrilling and iconic hill climb, there are a few ways you can do so. For pure live action for free, you can check out Mobile 1's [Facebook](), which will be live-streaming the whole event. If you're going to be away from a screen, driving, or doing yard work, but still watch to keep tabs on the action, you can listen to Colorado Spring's local KRDO radio station. KRDO will also have live updates on [its website](). For you smartphone addicts, all Pikes Peak Hill Climb social media channels ([Facebook](), [Twitter](), and [Instagram]()) will keep you posted as well. The hill climb will kick off at 7:30 a.m. Mountain Time (9:30 a.m. EST) ![]() *David Donner's *000* Porsche 911 Turbo S Lightweight Package* So that's the what and how covered, now here's the why. The 2022 Pikes Peak Hill Climb will have a few interesting storylines to follow. Three-time King of the Mountain David Donner will attempt to break the production car record at Pikes Peak in a Porsche 911 Turbo S with the Lightweight Package. While Donner's 911 is mostly stock, it does have several safety modifications, such as a roll cage, a racing seat a with six-point harness, a fire suppression system, and a freer-flowing exhaust. Donner is partnered with Porsche collector Jim Edwards and *000* magazine. Rhys Millen, son of Pikes Peak legend and five-time King of the Mountain winner Rod Millen, will try to take the King of the Mountain title this year, after failing to beat Romain Dumas last year, when the intake manifold of his Bentley GT3 Pikes Peak cracked near the end of his run. This time, though, he'll be driving an E-Motion Engineering Porsche 911 GT3R. ![]() Acura will also run the new [2023 Integra]() up the hill, driven and prepared by a voluntary team of engineers from Acura's Ohio R&D plant. The Integra's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-pot remains unchanged for Pikes Peak, still making 200 horsepower, and it will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Acura did make some upgrades to the suspension, brakes, and front differential but they were pulled from HPD (Honda Performance Development), so it should be a mostly factory Integra. If you're going to tune into any Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, this is the one, as it's the 100th running of the iconic event. Not only is it steeped in tradition but it's also one of the nerve-racking, white-knuckle racing events of the year and its one that shouldn't be missed. *Got a tip?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
