YOKOHAMA is the supplier for 13 cars in the "Race to the Clouds"

Next Sunday, June 27th, the time has come again: the world-famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the US state of Colorado is coming up. The tire manufacturer YOKOHAMA is back in the 99th edition - as a supplier and sponsor. The Japanese are supplying A13 and A005 ADVAN racing tires to a total of 052 cars in order to successfully contest the “Race to the Clouds”. Last year Clint Vahsholtz achieved his first overall victory on ADVAN. In this year's Open Wheel Division, YOKOHAMA supports his son Codie Vahsholtz, who will compete in the same 2013 Ford Open as his father. The tire manufacturer is also supplying tires for the 2015 Porsche BBI Turbo Cup, which is driven by driver Raphael Astier in the Pikes Peak Open class. In 2019 this champion was in the Time Attack 1 division. Other racing vehicles that will climb Pikes Peak with ADVAN tires are the 2021 Tesla Model 3 from Joshua Allan and the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport from Tanner Foust.

For the fourth time in a row, the Japanese tire manufacturer is also equipping all CaymanGT4 clubsport cars in the “Porsche Pikes Peak Trophy by Yokohama” with the ADVAN A052 street sports model. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has a long and illustrious history that dates back to 1916. It is known as the “Race to the Clouds” because the course begins at an altitude of 2.862 meters and ends after around 20 kilometers at 4.300 meters. One of the racing cars that were successful there on ADVAN tires is an electric vehicle sponsored by YOKOHAMA, which won the class championship three years in a row from 2010 to 2012 and set new time records in its category in each of these years.
