He is a legend of motorsport: the Audi S1 ​​Pikes Peak! International racing celebrities have been meeting in the US state of Colorado for decades to complete the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. It is one of the largest and best-known motorsport events in the United States. The 4301 m high mountain in the Rocky Mountains warns with dramatic slopes not to make any mistakes. Audi first showed in 1984 with a Rallye quattro Sport and Michèle Mouton at the wheel what the S1 is capable of. Almost from a standing start, they ended up in second place in the overall ranking.
