SANTA ANA, CA. – (June 29, 2022) – On a cold, wet, foggy day on the mountain, Yokohama Tire shined brightest.

At the 100th running of the legendary Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Yokohama drivers thoroughly dominated the field on ADVAN tires, culminating with Robin Shute’s overall championship and unlimited class win. All told, Yokohama drivers had 10 podium finishes (out of 18), four class wins and four of the top five overall finishers. See the official race results here.

“What an incredible day!” said Fardad Niknam, Yokohama Tire’s senior director of product planning and product marketing. “We worked closely with Robin and all our drivers to make sure they had the right tires for the incredibly difficult weather conditions on the mountain, and everyone’s hard work paid off. Congratulations to Robin and his team, as well as all our drivers. Job well done!”

Shute was the big story. Running on ADVAN A005 tires, the two-time overall champion claimed his third title in four years in his 2018 Wolf GB08 TSC-LT with a time of 10:09.525. “The tires were incredible,” Shute said after the race. “While everyone was struggling with tire temperatures, we just continued pushing and pushing on the Yokohamas.”

Other first-place winners on ADVANS included:

— David Donohue, time attack class. He drove his 2019 Porsche GT2 RS Clubsport (on A052® tires) to a winning time of 10:35.830.
