Timeline
BBI built the Hoonipigasus alongside Ken Block and Mobil 1 to race the 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak Int. Hill Climb and collaborated with the legendary Brumos Racing team to create a BBI-spec GT2 RS Clubsport race car with David Donahue. David would go on to place 1st in his class (TA1).
Pikes Peak 2021: BBI podiums across three classes with two 1st place wins and a 3rd place. A first in Pikes Peak history. One team, three drivers, three cars.
2020 was tough on all including the BBI Pikes Peak effort with David Donohue in the GT2 RS CS. A puncture forced an early end to an otherwise incredible race run.
