DetailsLocation: Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs, ColoDate: June 28, 2003Deservedly world-famous 12.42-mile, 156-turn run up the Pikes Peak Highway. The start line is at 9,390 feet, the summit finish line is at 14,100 feet. Wide and fast, with a set of tight switchbacks and huge exposures with no guardrails thrown in for good measure. Mixed gravel and rough pavement, including one mile of new pavement at the start line. The altitude and ever-changing mountain put a premium on tire choice and engine tuning. Manufacturers and class points only this year, no overall points. Without a doubt, the most daunting and awe-inspiring special stage of the championship.
