Colorado Springs, CO — For the first time in the 103-year history of racing on America’s Mountain, The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, presented by Gran Turismo, will air in its entirety on the cable channel RACER Network, also available on the RACER+ streaming app, delivering the most complete and immersive PPIHC viewing experience ever offered to fans.
In a recent acquisition, MAVTV has been rebranded RACER Network and is rolling out 24/7 motorsports action across all platforms to create the most followed and diverse motorsports media hub in North America.
Following the success of the 4-part highlight series that captured the heart and soul of the 2024 Race to the Clouds, fans can look forward to more live racing action and excitement under the RACER banner. The television network and recently launched RACER+ app will combine to broadcast 300+ live races in 2025, including the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 22.
RACER Networks has blocked seven hours of coverage for the PPIHC live broadcast and will again produce highlight episodes post-race. Along with their robust marketing plan, this deal represents significant growth for PPIHC and ease of access for fans around the world.
In addition to the live broadcast, the PPIHC will benefit from coverage across the RACER ecosystem, amplifying the event through long-forms, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and highlights. This combined reach across broadcast, digital, and more will offer an unprecedented spotlight on the whole event — capturing the emotion, innovation, and grit of the mountain for both core fans and new audiences alike.
