Yokohama Tire is heading back to the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with more than 20 sponsored drivers competing on ADVAN tires across multiple divisions.
The 104th running of the legendary “Race to the Clouds” takes place June 21 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Yokohama will also return as the exclusive tire supplier for the Pikes Peak GT4 Trophy by Yokohama for the ninth consecutive year, with Porsche, BMW, and Toyota entries running on ADVAN A052 tires.
“We’re excited to return with another exceptionally strong lineup for this year’s hill climb,” said Patricia Wall, Yokohama’s senior manager of motorsports. “After last year’s weather-shortened race, our Team Yokohama drivers are eager to return and compete on the full-length legendary mountain course.”
Laura Hayes, who holds the Pikes Peak record for “Fastest Woman,” returns to the GT4 field in a Toyota Supra GT4 EVO2. Robin Shute also returns as one of Yokohama’s headline drivers, competing in the Unlimited Division’s Super Unlimited Class with his self-designed 2026 Sendycar on ADVAN A005 tires.
Shute has already helped Yokohama earn two overall “King of the Mountain” titles on ADVAN tires. For 2026, his Sendycar will run a special ADVAN A005 hill climb compound developed by Yokohama specifically for Pikes Peak, with the goal of helping Shute secure his fifth overall King of the Mountain title.
Other Team Yokohama drivers include Robb Holland in a Kellymoss Racing Porsche GT4R, Dai Yoshihara in an Acura Integra Type-S, Cole Powelson in a 2025 Stryker Rogue Maverick, rookie Phillip McGilton in a Campbell Enterprises Ultra4 car, Danny Aitken in a 2001 Reynard Indy Car, and JT Taylor in a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T.
Taylor will also appear with Warrior Built and Yokohama at a special event at nearby Fort Carson on June 17 before signing autographs at Yokohama’s booth during Fan Fest on June 19 in downtown Colorado Springs. Yokohama Tire is a corporate partner of Warrior Built, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting combat veterans and wounded service members through vocational and recreational therapy.
Yokohama will also host an activation during the Downtown Colorado Springs Fan Fest, featuring Team Yokohama athlete autograph sessions, race car displays, giveaways, and more.
The 2026 Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will be broadcast in its entirety on June 21 through the RACER Network cable channel and RACER+ streaming app.
