Series: Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Honda has a long history of zero-emissions competition at Pikes Peak, dating back to 1994 when the company entered into the first-ever “EV Class”. That year, driver Katy Endicott propelled an EV-converted Honda Civic wagon to a 1st place finish in the EV Class (15:44.7). Five years later, Honda again entered the EV Class with a race-prepared EV Plus, and again took first in the class (15:19.9). In 2014, an all-electric Honda Fit won the EV-Class yet again, and also set a new race record for an EV (12:55.6).
Honda Racing Corporation USA (HRC US), has a rich heritage creating, manufacturing, and supporting Honda Racing and Acura Motorsports customers since its founding in 1993 as Honda Performance Development (HPD). In January 2024, HPD became HRC US, combining with HRC Japan to strengthen the company’s overall motorsports capabilities. From pinnacle racing in INDYCAR and IMSA sports cars to commercial racing programs, HRC US leads all Honda and Acura high-performance racing programs in North America and will be involved in Formula One power unit development and race support related to the next phase of Honda starting in 2026.
