ROMAIN DUMAS IN SUPER MUSTANG MACH-E TRIUMPHS IN PIKES PEAK OPEN DIVISION
JIMMY FORD AND LONI UNSER STAND ON THE PODIUM

Colorado Springs, CO — Awards were presented on June 23 for the 103rd Running of The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, presented by Gran Turismo, in the Pikes Peak Open division, presented by Olson Plumbing & Heating.
The finish at Glen Cove, approximately 13 miles in, eliminated summit records but did not dull the competitors’ spirit or speed.

ROMAIN DUMAS CLAIMS ANOTHER WIN FOR FORD PERFORMANCE
Four-time King of the Mountain and overall course record holder, Romain Dumas, of France repeated his dominance, securing first in the division driving the Ford Performance-backed, electric-powered, 2025 Ford Super Mustang Mach‑E.

He completed the Glen Cove–shortened run in 3:37.196, clinching the top step of the podium, and second overall among the 73 drivers.
During the 2025 Awards Ceremony, presented by B.R.M North America, newly crowned King of the Mountain, Simone Faggioli, graciously acknowledged Dumas and the Ford Performance effort by stating that had the race been run to the summit, it may have had a different outcome.

Colorado’s own Jimmy Ford piloted a 2017 Ford Mustang to a solid second place, replicating his 2024 result.

Making her presence felt in the Open field, Loni Unser raced a #92 Porsche 911 Turbo Cup, prepared by BBi Autosport, to the third spot on the podium.
All three drivers were top qualifiers in the Fast 15 powered by OPTIMA Batteries, and were celebrated at the annual Fan Fest in downtown Colorado Springs.
During qualifying runs earlier in the week, less than a second separated Ford and Unser, although the gap widened on race day, where Ford finished with a seven second advantage.

It was JR Hildrebrand in 4th place in his crowd-pleasing Hot Wheels tribute, 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix NASCAR.


PPIHC Rookie, Patrick Culligan, placed fifth in the division, with a time of 04:26.743, just ahead of veteran racer, Jeff Zwart who made the run in 04:26.751, one of the closest battles of the day. Culligan raced a 2006 Radical SR8, while Zwart was behind the wheel of a BBi Autosport-prepped 1997 Porsche Carrera.

The Pikes Peak Open division welcomed 27 drivers from seven nations, including France, Germany, Japan, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, the USA and the first ever competitor racing for Israel.
