Hyundai has announced their return to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, also known as ‘The Race to the Clouds,” on June 23, 2024. They will enter the event with a lineup of four cars.

The drivers will be:

  • Paul Dallenbach – Eleven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner; set the overall record in 1993
  • Robin Shute – Four-time overall winner and King of the Mountain title holder at Pikes Peak
  • Daniel “Dani” Sordo Castillo – Spanish World Rally Championship driver for Hyundai Motorsport
  • The fourth driver will be announced at a later date.

Pikes Peak is one of the unique and historical challenges still left in motorsports. It has stood the test of time because the mountain never relents. The weather makes getting a clean run extremely difficult and to conquer the mountain everything must go perfectly. A tremendous amount of preparation and a little bit of luck is required to break and set records. Going to Pikes Peak will prove the fortitude that these four vehicles have.

Said Randy Parker, CEO, Hyundai Motor America.
